    After that we chat with Reporter Joel Stinnett about the prospect for converting former office buildings into residential spaces in Downtown Louisville. Such projects have found traction in nearby peer cities such as Cincinnati and Cleveland.

  • A round up of Louisville sports news
    Mar 15 2024

    The Access Louisville podcast takes a surprisingly sporty turn this week.

    We've got an interview with Bev Yanez, head coach of Racing Louisville FC. Yanez, who's in her first year leading the team, tells us about her career in soccer and how she found her way to Louisville. We also talk about what it's like to be a working mom of two small children who is also working in a high-profile sports job. For more on Yanez, check out this profile story we recently posted as the season is getting set to begin.

    After the interview, we talk about a couple other local sports developments in the world of bowling and golf.

    LBF Reporter Joel Stinnett is on the show to tell us about the Executive Strike & Spare, a bowling alley that has long been located near the Kentucky State Fair Grounds, moving to Jeffersontown. It'll be taking over a Dick's Sporting Goods location on South Hurstbourne that is expected to close soon.

    In the world of golf, Stinnett also tells us about a story he recently finished up about Eagle Creek Golf Course, in Oldham County, building a new $3 million clubhouse. The new one-story, 10,600-square-foot clubhouse will include a pro shop, a basement for golf cart storage, a party room, two golf simulators, a covered porch in the front and a residential unit to house the course superintendent.

    And we also talk about a new golf attraction that recently opened at Oxmoor Center — the technology-forward Puttshack. As we reported this week, it's tech. It's mini golf. It's both — mixed with a lot of food, drinks and bright lights.

    One more thing — we also talk with the newest member of the Louisville Business First team and the Access Louisville crew, Reporter Piper Hansen. Hansen grew up in Louisville and will be covering residential real estate, professional services and Southern Indiana.

  • A roundup of restaurant news
    Mar 9 2024

    We've got a classic roundup of local restaurant news on the Access Louisville podcast this week.

    First up, we chat about LuCretia's Kitchen, a new soul food spot coming to Old Louisville. It will open at 617 W. Oak St., near the intersection of Oak and Seventh streets, on Friday, March 15. The menu will include fried chicken, meatloaf, smothered pork chops, ribs, rib tips and brisket and more.

    After that we talk about a second location that's on the horizon for Steak & Bourbon, across from Derby City Gaming. The steak restaurant, which started out in Westport Village, is going into the former Z's Oyster Bar location in Downtown Louisville. We also talk about some favorite cocktails and steak pairings during this segment.

    After that we go over some recent board of directors news at Texas Roadhouse. And we discuss a new oyster bar coming to the Germantown neighborhood, called Franny's. It'll be located in a new development that's being built on Goss Avenue.

    You can join us for a live recording of the Access Louisville podcast on March 26 in Downtown Louisville. Guest will include former Mayor Jerry Abramson and philanthropist Christina Lee Brown in a discussion on Louisville's biggest milestones. Register for the event here.
