Holy cow! That’s nuts. BIG TIME economic development going on right there in the Lex. Never heard of shared office concept. Groundbreaking stuff, man.

- Do all carpet installers look as though they are 54 years old, reside in Hamilton, Ohio and partake of Heisenberg's products? Shew. Props for quietly cleaning up and turning the doorknob lock on the way out, though. Thanks good guy methheads.

- I knew I was an adult when I got really amped for fresh carpet, which I'm sure will be christened with cat vomit in the first 48 hours.

-

The Queen would respond only in "stone" or "corgis" as her unit of measurement, right? I'm at...roughly 16-21 adult corgis. (Are people really surprised there's some racism happening up in Buckingham Palace? lol.)

- Scrub *** U of L fan in my office circulated an email asking if one partner (UK fan) would be running the NCAA bracket, like usual, or an NIT bracket. GD IT JOHN VINCENT FIX THIS ****.

- Favorite storebought cookie, go. (Kroger brand snickerdoodles, #1 with a bullet, then Milanos.)

Text from a Humana friend. They haven't been in their offices in a year. All "essentially closed." That's a few hundred thousand SF of densely occupied office space mothballed and removed from the downtown economy.

So it's either that or some kids getting yelled at one weekend at a cheer competition causing the issues. Tough to decide.

Humana employees still aren't allowed to travel or meet with clients in person, either. I know this as a former employee whose job was........traveling and meeting with clients in person.

(and racking up a very large expense account at hotels, gas stations, restaurants, etc)

My favorite tour of all those in Louisville. Parking can be a challenge though - or at least it was when I was there.

PArking wasn't a problem this time. Unless of course you count camping tents and chain link fences caused by covid.

I have a buddy who works for Lincoln Financial and he was told they're staying remote until October. It's pretty much accepted that there will be football stadiums full of people in September but they're not letting their office come back until after that, at the earliest?

I would feel like coming back at all is a lost cause at that point.

Tell your boy Andy to lose the ignorant healthy at work BS and open up restaurants to 100% and see what happens.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm down here 7 days a week, I eat lunch down here almost every day. I eat at the same two restaurants every day, Potbellys and Jimmy johns. Everything else is closed. And there might be 3 or 4 other people eating inside with me each day. It's a ghost town.
Now Nulu isn't near as bad, it's bounced back much quicker. But true downtown is a shell of itself.
Of course covid is a huge factor, but so was the protesting. Most of Louisville still feels unsafe to go downtown. Only someone that doesn't live here would argue otherwise.
And also it's interesting you bring up Humana, because while their downtown employees haven't gone back to work yet, they sent most of their Hurstbourne prkwy guest back some time ago. The general feeling of downtown being unsafe is still alive and well.

If you don’t feel safe right now in the central business district of downtown Louisville then you’re a pansy. Good grief. All of the nonsense from the past summer has faded and well over 80% of the hooligans who did the damage were bussed in from out of town. Sorry there were idiots yelling at children cheerleaders. Some of you act like it’s Crenshaw in the early 90’s.

Alright is it going to take a) asserting Cincinnati's superiority to the ******** river city housing Floyd Street b) pizza c) celebrititties or d) rehashing the most painful UK basketball loss to get you all to STFU about downtown Louisville and whether it's back or not?

Or maybe it's both. Call me crazy, but there could be even more than two reasons Louisville has been in decline recently.

At the rate they were losing corporate headquarters before the pandemic, Humana isn't likely to be there much longer anyway.

Maybe they can draw an NBA team, but of course the civil unrest has already been an issue there too.

Looking at investing in some REITS as an inflation hedge. A risk, but oh well. Mandatory dividends help. Reinvest and see what happens.

Covered calls aren't terrible if you don't care about opportunity losses.

There are specialized funds that invest in only warehouses. E-commerce is only growing.

I recently found an assload of Jordan and Kobe cards. How much are those downtown Louisville spots going for?

This is all coming from some ******* at the NYT that says Pepe Le Pew "normalizes rape culture" and Speedy Gonzales "helped popularize the corrosive stereotype of the drunk and lethargic Mexicans."

Mexicans do indeed love Speedy Gonzalez. In fact, I think there was an attempted cancellation years ago and they raised hell and got him back. Good work, since yes, Speedy is awesome.

Le Pew is a French Dbag and can DIAF. He was never funny, just annoying.


As far as I'm concerned, this is Foghorn Leghorn
