I wanted to start with an awesome picture from Keeneland pulled from the UK Instagram account. Happy Halloween!
This week from the Kaintuckeean and elsewhere from around the Commonwealth. First, from the Kaintuckeean ….
- Transylvania University Plaque Reveals Long History and Beautiful Architecture.
- A book review on the lost Frankfort community of Crawfish Bottom.
- Scandal and murder at Lexington’s Yocum Motor Lodge.
- The Streetsweeper correctly guessed my parent’s house on West Short Street as the week’s #TBT. Stay tuned for more history at a later date!
- From the Jessamine Journal, the cold weather and the Woolly Worm Festival which concludes today in Beattyville.
And one more item from social media. I took this picture from my office window early Thursday. Sts. Peter and Paul School in downtown Lexington was celebrating 100 years of Catholic education in downtown Lexington. A rosary service in Triangle Park ended with releasing this giant balloon rosary over Lexington:
Pretty cool! Giant rosary over#LexKy! #sharethelex can I get a RT, @Pontifex? pic.twitter.com/ceVPTGjnH9
