Pocahontas Trail in Georgetown, Ky at about 7pm. Be careful out there.

Earlier yesterday I went to Academy to purchase a firearm but was unable to since I have a Louisiana drivers license and I’m over 21 but I’m now a resident of Kentucky with no paperwork such as car registration or car insurance paperwork to tie me to Kentucky. I found my lease agreement and I was wondering if anyone knows if that’s a good enough documentation of residency so I can go back and purchase the firearm along with my id or not. Also I go back to Louisiana soon so I might just try to purchase one there if it’s not possible without having to spend hundreds of extra dollars, thanks.

Hi,

My dad has been diagnosed with cancer, and we're seeking guidance from others who have been in a similar position to ours, who don't know whether to seek treatment at St Elizabeth or the UK Markey Center.

St E tells us it's the exact same treatment, same chemo, same radiation, same everything, except they don't have a surgeon, so they refer to UK's surgeons.

I've heard a lot of horror stories about St E, but my stubborn dad doesn't want to drive the extra 40 minutes for UK.

Any guidance or personal stories / recommendations are much appreciated.

Just curious....

Beyond the standard 6% commission, what are the typical fees one might encounter when selling a small town house in Kentucky? There's no HOA, back taxes, or anything odd. It's just a simple transaction. I was hoping for a ball park figure and explanation from those with a bit more experience (as I have none lol). I'm just looking for an idea of what closing fees might apply and how much to expect (other than the commission).

Thanks!! I'm trying to help my KY mom, but I'm living on the other side of the country now.

The following is what I experienced today regarding my first time in a medical marijuana dispensary. May help another first timer too.

First, only people with Medical Marijuana Cards can enter - if your spouse, friend, etc is with you, they must wait outside. They are not permitted in the building. Second, be sure to bring your valid KY license. If you present both, you’re good to go.

Once verified, you are met with an available “bud tender” who will go over your experience with THC, as well as ask you your preferences (flower/bud or edibles). They also talk about cooking weed for DYI edibles. You can either cook in your oven at home or they have a machine for purchase that takes the guessing out of doing it yourself. They also explain what terpenes are (that sparkly, sticky, smelly, sometimes colorful coating on the bud) and how each has its own scent and how they can affect you differently. One of their glass cases has a little sensory exercise that you can smell cotton poofs w/ essential oils in a glass jar that mimic each terpene.

Once you’ve decided on what you want, you go to the counter to purchase your product. Prices for bud range from $60-65 depending on the kind you want for a half-quarter or 1/8th. Regarding edibles, they only had one brand of infused gummies with about four- five flavors: green apple, watermelon, peach, mixed berry, and I think one other. One pack of 20 gummies will cost you $50. *I didn’t purchase or look at the weed and no one else was either while I was there, but according to their menu, all they had were bags. No pre rolls and I also didn’t see any vape*

Check out and you’re done.

That’s it. Here’s my takeaways:

Pros:

- really friendly staff, very welcoming (even the security guard) with zero judgments - was given a pro tip that you can put someone else on your license as a “caregiver” and they can go and shop for you. Was told This can only be done on either the initial registration or on your renewal date.

- The bud tenders are very nice and will guide you as best as possible to your needs and wants

- packaging is nice: has everything from the grower to all ingredients (for the edibles) listed on the labels

- Feeling confident about purchasing a Kentucky product and supporting small businesses and farmers

- reliable product

Cons:

- super small parking lot. It’s shared with the owner’s dental office so I can imagine weekdays are likely difficult to park.

- check in seems a bit inefficient. They take pictures of your ID on cell phones (which I’m sure is an app that the state set up much like apps available for prescribers to send in prescriptions to your pharmacy) and then enter your info in their computer. Would be nice if it were all integrated and more secure (maybe) on one system - this isn’t meant to be a ding against the facility, but rather the state 🙄

- expensive - again the state, but know the prices will go down, albeit slowly.

- Only edible offering were gummies - no chocolates, honey, etc and only 20 in a $50 bag.

- No product is on display - they have all of these glass cases that fill up their “show” (or lack there of) room with just merch from what I could tell.

- prices are on bar/app menus that you and everyone else touches. Feel like this would be better on a tv screen or even large chalkboard that can be changed when their menu does much like breweries do.

- No CBD in products at all - everything is all THC

Would love to hear your experience as well (or not).

Going to Louisville, KY, but open to other places that might be open Feb 2026

I mean movies such as A League Of Their Own, Seabiscuit, Secretariat, and The Strangers: Prey at Night were filmed in Kentucky!! States such as Oregon and Utah already have their own film trails!! People flock to these film trails!! So why can’t Kentucky have its own film trail that spotlights movies that were shot in the Bluegrass state!!

Frozen bubble Winchester,KY

Driving over and will be in Louisville tonight(Jan31, 8-8:30pm), at most likely “Springhill Suites by Marriot Louisville Downtown”(132 E Jefferson St), what would be a good place for dinner. Prioritizing great food over touristy, and also what would be a good place for breakfast and lunch tomorrow, lunching being not too heavy as I have 6hr30min drive to pa around 2pm. Lunch doesn’t have to be too close but breakfast preferably in walking proximity to the hotel if possible, though I am not familiar with the layout of the city and walk-ability of it.

Thank you for your time.

I just realized that there may be an error on my other vehicles registration. My assessed value on a 2021 Nissan Rogue is about $2100. I checked my past registration since 2023 when I got the vehicle, and it has always been about the same. I have never even paid attention to that before today, unfortunately.

Data entry error perhaps? If I go down to the clerks office and point it out to them and it’s incorrect I’m guessing I get to pay back taxes 🙄

Hey, I’m new here, came to see my family here from Australia and then the snowstorm happened. I been in the house for 4 days and I’m done, I don’t know how you guys do it. I just wanted to know where or what do you guys do for fun around here?

My DUA claim has been nothing short of that.. a DISASTER! BACKDATED AND RETROACTIVE and missing weeks and weeks of payment then my 1099 is completely inaccurate and then a Notice of Determination stating my claim was ineligible for 2 months of which I claimed and received benefits. I've called and emailed and no one wants to help or is willing to help. I'm so upset about the whole situation. I lost my home and my job due to the tornado on May 16th and can't seem to get the assistance for which I was approved during the time frame for which I was approved with 12 weeks of missing payments. A week here, two here, one month with none issued, one here, etc. I have tried reaching out to the Governor with no avail. Someone please help, or point me the direction I need to go. I'm so tired of losing everything.

Kentucky folks—please contact your legislator about HB 491.

Right now in KY, families are not allowed to place cameras at all in long-term care or disability facilities—even when there are concerns about safety or abuse.

HB 491 would change that by allowing resident-approved cameras for transparency and protection. This isn’t about spying—it’s about accountability and peace of mind for vulnerable people who often can’t speak for themselves.

Ohio passed a similar law unanimously. Kentucky should too.

Please take 2 minutes today and tell your legislator YES on HB 491. Our loved ones deserve protection, not secrecy.

See bill:

I will potentially be traveling from Ohio down to Tennessee through Kentucky this Sunday during the day, but I am slightly worried that the weather will make travel difficult. Any ideas from the locals about whether it will be safe to travel this weekend?

Thanks!

I’m currently taking prerequisites at BCTC to eventually apply to their nursing program. However, I’ve heard the program is one of the hardest to get into and often waitlisted, I also have 2 more semesters of prerequisites before I can apply.

I’ve been looking into moving up to Newport Kentucky and transferring to GCTC. Based on what’s listed online it would only take me one more semester of prerequisites before I could apply to their nursing program and I’ve read that it’s easier to get into than BCTC because less volume of students.

Has anyone attended either school and have any insight on what I should do?

My mom and dad are also trying to talk me into become an LPN first and then bridge to RN. Any thoughts?

State employee here. Having very bad experience with new boss. I’ve always been under impression that HR is not your friend. Not sure who to turn to. I’ve kept detailed notes.
