  • This Region, Centered Around Lexington, Is Known for Its Bluegrass. However, Bluegrass Is Not Really Blue — It's Green
    N O I G E R S S A R G E U L B This region, centered around Lexington, is known for its bluegrass. However, bluegrass is not really blue — it’s green. In the spring, bluegrass produces bluish-purple buds that when seen in large fields give a rich blue cast to the grass. Today those large “bluegrass” fields are home to some of the best known horse farms in the world. With more than 500 horse farms in and around Lexington, the area is known as the Horse Capital of the World.

  • A Chapter Ends Camp Shalom Swims Through 2017 Program Changes
    Volume XVI Issue 6 Av/Elul 5777 August 2017 A chapter ends By Barbara Goldman, Shalom Editor A lot has happened throughout my three-year journey with Shalom, both on a personal level as well as a global level. Both have certainly had their effect. Along with editing Shalom, my food column in the Ledger Independent (a northern Kentucky newspaper), and a few other writing gigs, my time has been spent working as a café chef, personal chef, caterer, and about anything else food-wise I could sink my teeth into. About six months ago I began a new adventure as a food truck owner, Babz Bistro. The food truck has already exceeded my expectations with the joy and freedom it is providing me. However, due to the time and demand of this new course, I will no longer be able to continue my position as Shalom editor. This decision did not come easily. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect this experience to exceed my expectations so greatly. I was never fully aware of how many lives this amazing organization touched, and if being truthful, how many individuals and hours are constantly involved in maintaining daily operations. As we each walk through life, it is so important to surround ourselves with mentors, people who are not only greater than us, but keep their clarity of mind and wits regardless of life’s challenges. Mentors help us so that we may set goals and blueprints for achieving our own personal greatness. The editorial board and the Federation staff have been constant mentors for me.

  • A RESOLUTION Urging Major League Baseball to Rescind the Ill-Advised
    UNOFFICIAL COPY 20 RS BR 2149 1 A RESOLUTION urging Major League Baseball to rescind the ill-advised proposal 2 that threatens the future of the Lexington Legends and professional baseball in Central 3 Kentucky. 4 WHEREAS, The history of professional baseball in Kentucky dates back to July 19, 5 1865. The Louisville Grays hosted the first baseball game played under standard rules 6 west of the Alleghenies, where they defeated the Nashville Cumberlands. When 7 Louisville businessman Walter Haldeman and others formed the National League in 8 1876, this Louisville club was a charter member. Kentucky has not been represented by a 9 major league team since the turn of the 20th century when the Louisville Colonels 10 switched to the minor league, but minor league baseball has flourished in the state. More 11 than 200 Kentucky natives have played major league baseball and four Kentuckians have 12 been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame: Earl Combs, A.B. "Happy" Chandler, Jim 13 Bunning, and Harold "Pee Wee" Reese. Today, Kentucky hosts three Minor League 14 Baseball teams: Louisville Bats in Louisville, Lexington Legends in Lexington, and the 15 Bowling Green Hot Rods; and 16 WHEREAS, Kentucky's three Minor League Baseball teams, and others in 17 surrounding states nearby, add to the quality of life for many people in Kentucky by 18 providing access to live action, affordable family entertainment throughout the spring and 19 summer months; and 20 WHEREAS, The Lexington Legends are an engine of tourism, welcoming over 21 270,000 fans to their games in 2019 and hosting the KHSAA State Baseball Tournament 22 at their ballpark.

  • Quality of Life in Lexington
    December 2018 QUALITY OF LIFE IN LEXINGTON Lexington is an ideal location for new project locations and expansions. Our educated workforce, proximity to a world-class research university, and innovative environment are among the many reasons Lexington is the best choice. Attractions in Downtown Lexington The median age of Lexington residents is 34.3 years, much lower than the state average of 38.6 and national average of 37.8. Lexington’s downtown has revitalized in response to the city’s young population. Downtown Lexington is a vibrant cultural hub with live music, art studios and galleries, museums, theaters, and outdoor festivals. In the past few years, downtown Lexington has deliberately revitalized, adding shops and restaurants that capture the diverse culture of Lexington’s young population, such as Urban Outfitters, Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen, HopCat Brew Pub, Rock House Brewery, and Pies & Pints. Over 100 retail shops and 170 restaurants and bars are located in downtown and the surrounding Thursday Night Live. Photo: Commerce Lexington Inc. neighborhoods. Most restaurants are casual dining and patio seating is common downtown, but Lexington has several fine dining options. There is also an array of coffee shops including local favorites Cup of Common Wealth, Common Grounds, and national chain Starbucks. In the heart of downtown, the Fifth Third Pavilion at Cheapside Park operates weekly events and supports a vibrant community. Thursday Night Live, an outdoor live music event, is held weekly from April to October at the Pavilion and attracts an average of 2,500 people each week. Every Saturday, over 3,000 people visit the Farmer’s Market at the Pavilion to purchase local produce, meats, cheeses, and other products while enjoying downtown.
