Lexington’s Euclid Kroger closes: End of an Era

I'm sad to see it go (it served me well as my neighbourhood store for all the time I was at UK, and I worked there for two summers, too), but judging by the new design, I'm not sure I'll ever tend to shop at the one they'll build, even though it's close to work. Among other things the design calls for parking on the roof with buggy elevators, etc. Romany Road is nearby but tiny; I feel for those in the area. Most of the time I lived there, I didn't have a car, but I could walk to the grocery, at least. And I think my bank, which is next to it, is going away, too. The closest one of those to that area is the downtown tower.

After more than a year, a Lexington library resource re-opens

In February 2007 a burst water pipe in the special collections area of the Lexington Public Library shut down the Kentucky Room, where needed renovation and expansion was made posible by donations. In his blog, Bluegrass and Beyond, Tom Eblen talks about the crown jewel of the collection, a near-perfect run of the oldest newspaper in Kentucky.
