The protests are most certainly the major contributing factor. For anyone not to admit this is a fool. However, the corporations now have a seat the table in order to get people dtown. Their corp responsibility is required, but you have to be careful on how much blame you place, otherwise, they will/can walk without any problem.
My wife spent 12 working days a month in midtown NYC every month for 20+ yrs up until last March 5th, when her firm and many others cut the cord on travel. They aren't going back until this summer at best given the still volatile situation up there. There are so many players in this....hotels, corps, transportation, etc. Parts of NYC are 2-5 years from resuming a "normal" life.
Getting people back in the offices is only geography and just a partial fix if you don't keep the main problem in the forefront.
Louisville is the UK basketball of cities with the covid pandemic. It affected them way more.
Meghan is hot, but I can't stand her attitude. I'd slip her the bone for sure, but she wouldn't enjoy the experience. RD
Worked it silly on the exercise bike this morning, whew.
There is a couple that work out at the gym the same time I do, man and women. The guy looks dead on a 60 YO Bonzo. Female looks like anth735's mom if she buzzed the sides of her head, got some ink, and started dosing horse adrenaline.
This weather gonna test my ability to concentrate this afternoon. Sorta just want to drink beer in the sunshine.

No, the protests are NOT the “major contributing factor,” you dumbass.
It’s because there aren’t as many people in that area. Jesus F’ing Christ why do we have to explain common sense things to some of you people?

"This prime downtown workspace was empty long before the COVID-19 pandemic sent Louisville’s office workers on a forced march toward work-from-home arrangements last year.
Yet, even as bourbon tourists poured in and new restaurants and bars popped up, the amount of occupied office space in the Central Business District didn’t grow in the decade leading up to the pandemic."
Maybe Louisville is just an overrated ******** with a garbage city university
Yes, the number of downtown employees was down before, but several thousand is still more than a few hundred. Humana alone going full remote is a nail in the damn coffin.
Really not that hard guys. Let's keep at it, though. Maybe it'll sink in!

You're right....they had no role at all. Just a bunch of nutjobs having fun. People should just forget about it and move as like it was nothing.
Good call.
Lions and leopards have barbed penises, the females don’t enjoy the experience either.
-nyc/sf and the like: commercial real estate is gonna get *hammered*. They've already discovered folks can work from home...why would they pay for primo office space.
^just wait until they figure out someone can work from home in the southeast/midwest and cost them 70% as much due to COL. Good times.
We've actually had people renting our air bnb's to work out of. Groups of employees from closed offices that need to work together, small businesses owners who's family's were home and making too many distractions, etc...
Office space is going to be a declining asset for several years to come. Broken windows and nearby homeless camps don't help either.
Cant weld remotely. Frankly I often fantasize about shutting it down and taking up a trade. I mean mowing grass for example. You wake up mow the grass and go home. I probably would be a happier person. Go cats!
* Here's one more thing I was 100% correct about...
Entering the All-Star break, Ball ranks first among rookies in total points (553), rebounds (211), assists (221) and steals (57) despite not starting a game until February 1.
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball breaks 60-year old NBA rookie record (yahoo.com)
Don't even make me bust out the "receipts" on you. I've been completely on top of this for years now.
* This is my colleague/friend's son:
Suspect confesses to killing New Orleans man who disappeared while selling dirt bike: JPSO | Crime/Police | nola.com
Sold a dirt bike on Facebook marketplace. Drove over to the guy's house to deliver it, got shot/killed. The killer drove his car back over to New Orleans, then rode the bike home. Was caught and confessed within hours.
* I had a fun weekend. 8th finish at the Mississippi 50 Mile Trail Run on Saturday. Stayed in Hattiesburg that night, and put down about 10 Miller Lites will bellied up to the bar. Wings. Fries. And despite the Governor's new rules, mask enforcement hadn't really changed much in Mugshots.
* Next up:
The Cinderella Strategy
Graduated UofL B-school with the author. About Butler basketball's success.
* Phil Mickelson falls outside the top 100.
* Coming to America 2 --> not sure I even cracked a smile. Absolute garbage.
* Murder Among Mormons = fantastic. Good to see a religion exposed for what it is. An organization built on unbelievable fairy tales run by people who use it to promote their own wealth and power. And how about that dude ballin' out and buying........a Toyota MR2. Lol okay bub.
* Lass purchased a big tub of chocolate chip cookie dough. Won't last me 2 days.

Says the dude on here daily blaming his local government for its response. K.
You guys are right though. Louisville looks great. Congrats, hell of a job.
Real estate prices are skyrocketing down here with all the northeast folks flocking south. Several friends and family members have uprooted from NY and Philly to take up permanent residency in the 34102. Contemplate daily why I haven't pulled the trigger
As you said, I'm guessing we see a huge shift in population density over the next decade as this pandemic has shown both corporations and individuals in certain sectors they don't need to live where they work. Add in the savings these Fortune 500 companies would see from cutting costs and how that could quickly provide a shot in the arm to their bottom line / stock and please their shareholders, which is ultimately what they're all tasked to do and it seems inevitable.
Yeah, I have blamed our mayor for LOTS of things. Like when she set up a police perimeter around the French Quarter and made it against the law to enter unless your live there or are going to a restaurant....
....what I did NOT do is blame the lack of business on this summer's riots/protests. Because that would be stupid.

-sadly, they will vote for folks who will implement the same ****** policies that created the mess from which they are fleeing. Hakuna matata, atkot.
Your riots weren't anything like Louisville you dumb sack ****.
The entire downtown was literally covered in plywood. Any that weren't had windows busted out and everything looted. The windows at my parents building were shot and busted out... on the 15th floor. They had the bomb squad there twice. At one point they put up a 15 block perimeter. There's a 4 block homeless camp setup where the Mini Marathon used to finish. There was a 2 month period people were encouraged to avoid the area. Forget anything west of 4th St.
Of course the pandemic hurt but that's not happening in every city. To argue otherwise is insanity.
Inadvertently the best insult on here in a while.
No kidding. Would we use those space lasers that start wildfires? Could get dicey if people aren’t careful.
Comedy sequals are usually so unfunny they make you question whether the original was even that funny. There are only so many jokes to pull out of one situation.
The 'Palace' in that obviously-terrible movie ya'll keep talking about is Rozay's crib.
Believe they're all Independents who wear LL Bean made henleys, Rudd. So no fear of them polluting their new surroundings.
The blacks last summer are not keeping the thousands of Humana employees at home, or keeping conventions from happening, or keeping people from traveling, or preventing the Yum Center from hosting weekly concerts.
A traumatic event absolutely happened down there in the midst of it all. However, it's not causing the sustained economic hardships that are preventing it from coming back to life.
A wise man once ran on the premise "you can't fix the economy until you fix covid." I tend to agree.

SO HAPPY we're discussing Downtown Louisville and not hoops this the 8th of March.

THANKS FOR VISITING ANTH

THANKS FOR VISITING ANTH
Best day I've had out and about in a year. Boozing in bars, eating with coworkers, in person meetings with booze. Good lord, I missed that. Check that peerless tour, good time, and a really neat space.
To be fair there were ALOT of whites down there too, I seent them on my TV, front and center.
Some shitdos:
- Took the long way home yesterday. Got stuck at a light for about 3 cycles where there isn't usually much traffic. Turns out people caravan to see the new Buc-ee's. I get it - it's an impressive gas station but it's a gas station.
- In-laws are volunteer workers at the Players. Went by yesterday so they could collect their stuff and the course looks unbelievable. They're giving AN a run for their money on the grounds keeping right now.
- Got a 3 month trial of Starz. Started Magic City and worship. It's Mad Men with a lot of nudity and if MM had mob ties.
- Get a random text every few weeks to see if I'm willing to sell a property I don't own. These people will one day try to sue me for the amount of theirs I've wasted.
- Spent 5 hours on Sat removing cushion covers to wash and cleaning the sectional with a spot wet vac. Never f'ing again. Each f'ing cushion has multiple ties that go through them. I had all the windows open and the house was 64 degrees and I was sweaty my ***. Beat my *** and my hands feel like they went through a meat grinder.

Peerless was very good - went before Covid. Low-key, small groups and a LOT of history that wasn’t aware of going in. A great tasting options.
My favorite tour of all those in Louisville. Parking can be a challenge though - or at least it was when I was there.
More fallout from the decline in office space demand.
