is nice and the downtown partnership has just been great.
Downtown Louisville is just thriving. I saw so many people today.

up here right before you got Well.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We helped her when I'm still at the city, so
we're going back a few years. Helped her get this
thing started.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I remember that. Yeah it's been a while, Yeah that's
what she said. Yeah, I was thinking it was ten
years already.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But don't age us.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
What do I know about that? What do I know?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
But yes, we've got convey intown. There are a ton
of people walking around. It is so exciting to me
to see people, especially on the weekends. You know, it's
not because of work, which is what we're so used
to sing. That's actually when there are fewer people in
the office walking around. But the conventions and the tourism
is amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah. I went into the coffee shop up the street
there a little a few hours ago, and my girl
wasn't feeling so good. She's usually singing songs and but
she's just having one of those days today. So I
got her to sing something. She goes, I feel.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Better now, she feels better.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
She was overwhelmed though. There were so many people in
the store, which is a.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Good exactly, it's a good problem. But you don't you
just need more help on the days that you've got
large in town.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
So clearly we have an American Birthday coming up, and
there there are lots of things that'll be happening here
over the next couple of weeks. So I guess you
want to spotlight a few things that are happening here.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, yeah, I want to spotlight. But it happens despite
America's birthday. We celebrate America at Downtown's.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Birthday every day, of course.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So next Wednesday we're having our second work perks. You
love the work perks.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I like rhyming things and alliteration.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Downtown Work Perks is a freebie for Downtown workers. It
coincides with our food truck Wednesday. So if you are
Downtown and you are a Downtown worker, just show an
ID or a business card and we are giving away
this time. This month, we're giving away an LDP Little
Downtown Partnership branded bag with two small bags of popcorn
from Froggies Popcorn?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Nice? Am I having a fever dream? Or wasn't there
a food truck thing yesterday too? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That was Wednesday. Food truck Wednesday every every week. Okay,
but the work perks is once.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
A work perks is connected once a month.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
We can't afford them any.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I, gotcha. I mean, there's only so much love you
can give us. Not a game show.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
We're running here, absolutely, but come to work because we
want to celebrate you. Tomorrow is a Downtown drive in.
We're showing Fast and the Furious that brown form an amphitheater.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, they're so fun. If you haven't been to one,
to go. So the setting is on an amphitheater. It's
a raised seating really, and it's on the river. So
you've watched the suns and as soon as it's dark enough,
we have an inflatable screen and we show movies. This
happens a couple of Fridays a month.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, that's Waterfront Park, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah yeah. In Fast and Furious is tomorrow's finally we're
getting dry weather. It's going to be a little warm,
but it's not raining.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
That's right, what's summertime. That's what we're supposed to do, right. Uh,
you know, maybe I'll just wear my swim trunks and
go to the show. Oh my god, but you don't
want to see that. I can say that, Oh my goodness.
Oh hey the light is too bright. Why can't we
see the movie screen? Because he's here, you won't be missed,
that's for sure. Fast and Furious. That that whole franchise
(03:36):
is so.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Popular, Yeah, oh, people love it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You'll have a ton of We're showing a little.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Bit more adult movies. I don't mean dirty racing movies.
I mean it's more adult themed, not kids.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, you're not doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I don't mean to be anyway. And then also
we are having a pickleball street fest. It's our second
annual Pickleball street Fest. We're gonna be closing down Main
Street right in front of Angels Envy. They are sponsoring
the event.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
This game is just getting more and more popular.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's so popular. It's a lot of fun. You haven't played,
have you?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
My wife plays all the time. And then you need
to get out there. We need and I get on
a golf course.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Are you available, I'll play you July.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Twelfth, golf No.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh, pickleball at the street? Oh, he just made a remisson.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You want to I know you want to beat me
down and have somebody video and it's it's not going
to be.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
A I'm just not that good. And if you don't play,
then I don't have feel any companies anyway. But if
you want to play, it's so cool because we shut
down the street. So where else do you get to
play pickleball in the middle of a street that you
usually drive on. That's true, it'll be eight thirty to two,
I think, So go to Louisville Downtown dot org to
find the link to sign up. We really want this
to be a fun time.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's good. And then the don't we have courts that
are over here, and.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, those are available every day. That's a baired urban
sports park.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
But is somebody going to build something there and take
it away? And I heard something of Worldflare as soon
as I heard that announcement that Rebecca's listener.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Court No no, no. So the reason we did that
knowing it's the redevelopment site. So if people don't know
what we're talking about, this is the former museum plausa
site on Main Street. It's behind some facades that stand
in the six hundred block. We did something to activate
the space knowing that it was temporarily available because it
should be redeveloped. That is the best and highest use
of the land. We'd want something to go there. So
(05:22):
there will be people that will be upset. They're not
high quality pickleball courts.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Obviously, it's still fun. It's cool when you're walking down
the sidewalk you look at that people play.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It is fun. But you know, a thousand room hotel
would probably be better there.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, well, I'm kind of excited about the thousand room
hotel too, because we'll.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
See a lot more conventioneers walking around exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
David Beck and I talk about this all the time.
It's like the he goes and pitches Louisville to various groups, organizations,
companies to say, hey, come here, do your thing here,
and the first question always is what's your hotel countcity. Yeah,
and as soon as we can move that higher, we
get in the arena for a lot more opportunities.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
So many. And it's funny because people say another hotel,
and do we really need it?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
But yes, the answers yes totally.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We built the convention center to be able to increase
that number, but we didn't have the hotels to support
the people that would come for the larger conventions. So
this will do it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, it's basic math. I mean, we just have to
have enough places for people to sleep so that they
can can we can say that we can host your.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And the reason you want those big hotels eight hundred
to one thousand rooms is so that these event planners
don't have to go to all the little one hundred
hotels and figure out so many at once. They can
just work with one or two big hotels.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
An urban planner people like this too, because you're not
spreading out on the land mass. You're going, you're elevating.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Not a bad word. Density is actually a really good word.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It is very smart.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Speaking of density. Do you know have you been to
Green River yet? It just opened on main streets?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sorry, no, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Don't apologize. It's beautiful inside. But Pursuit Spears is also
about to open right next door. We're just packing in
all these empty storefronts on Main Street.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It's going to be really is that a new distillery?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, yeah, well it's not a new distillery. They've been
around for long time, okay, but they're based. But they
opened a taste room here.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's about time they came over from Old Borough and
said we've got to be where the action is.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That's right, that's it, exactly, Birdban Trail.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
There was a question on Jeopardy and it was about
bourbon and they didn't know and I.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Was like no, I saw that. I was like dude, no, no,
every Kentucky was yelling.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I know, we were all screaming, everybody, come on. So obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Of course we're raised knowing that we're we're working on it,
that's for sure. Yeah, we're working.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Convention counts very strong here as well. It is in
downtown and this time I saw the ambassadors today. Good,
they were over here on this.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Story every day. But yes, these are the men and
women in the orange shirts.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, I saw actually saw them in the truck. They
were they were going to fix something or other or whatever.
So that's good that we have that little squad available too.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, well we need it. I mean, not only are
they there for hospitality to make you feel like welcomed,
but also they do fix stuff and then we clean
stuff and powerwash stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well we had those big snow piles. They were shoveling too,
so they do a little bit of everything they do.
I appreciate those like little guardian angels for the city,
and we need more.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
If people want to contribute or donate money, we could
help that increase that number. We always need more.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What's the website where they can go do.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That, Rebecca, Louisville Downtown dot org five eight four to
six thousand.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
See how that works. Oh, you've got a good phone
number to go with that too. Don't forget. The Melonaire
Fair or Marketplace is underway until ten o'clock tonight. Right
here at four Street, live right outside our studio windows.
So come buy a wave with us and then go
see everything that's available. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
We've done like three or four couples that have walked by.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, well there's a lot of people right behind us.
They're all watching a concert down there too. That's all good. Yeah,
did you cover everything you need?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Can I do have time for one?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Please?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Do so. We've been talking about I think we talked
about it last time, a designation to be able to
carry open container of alcoholic beverage around downtown. We are
looking for public input on this idea. Do you like
the idea in general? We have a map that shows
the area that we're looking at. Do you like this map?
Do you want to go further? Do you want to
make it smaller? Go to our socials, but also louisvill
(09:05):
ky dot gov. The link is on there on the
city's website. We're taking public input because we are looking
for to make sure that we're hitting this right. It's
cool other cities do it. We want to do it.
We should have it, but we also want to make
sure we do it right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's you already hit it upon it that so many
other cities do it well and we can just do
what they do and it's a contained area, but still
it makes you feel like you're having a street party.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Like, well when we do our excuse me, Saint Patrick's
Parade and you're on Barstown Road talking to your friends
out on the sidewalk and you're still having a beer and.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's okay, free right, festive, and you just put more
vibrant than your right on the street. People can wander
and I think people will actually explore more and find
new things to them that will be interesting.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
No doubt about it. Yeah, I'm a yes vote. I
don't know if you can tell that or not.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yay, Yes, we love it.

Was like no, I saw that. I was like dude, no, no,
every Kentucky was yelling.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I know, we were all screaming, everybody, come on. So obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Of course we're raised knowing that we're we're working on it,
that's for sure. Yeah, we're working.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Convention counts very strong here as well. It is in
downtown and this time I saw the ambassadors today. Good,
they were over here on this.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Story every day. But yes, these are the men and
women in the orange shirts.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, I saw actually saw them in the truck. They
were they were going to fix something or other or whatever.
So that's good that we have that little squad available too.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, well we need it. I mean, not only are
they there for hospitality to make you feel like welcomed,
but also they do fix stuff and then we clean
stuff and powerwash stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well we had those big snow piles. They were shoveling too,
so they do a little bit of everything they do.
I appreciate those like little guardian angels for the city,
and we need more.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
If people want to contribute or donate money, we could
help that increase that number. We always need more.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What's the website where they can go do.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That, Rebecca, Louisville Downtown dot org five eight four to
six thousand.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
See how that works. Oh, you've got a good phone
number to go with that too. Don't forget. The Melonaire
Fair or Marketplace is underway until ten o'clock tonight. Right
here at four Street, live right outside our studio windows.
So come buy a wave with us and then go
see everything that's available. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
We've done like three or four couples that have walked by.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, well there's a lot of people right behind us.
They're all watching a concert down there too. That's all good. Yeah,
did you cover everything you need?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Can I do have time for one?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Please?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Do so. We've been talking about I think we talked
about it last time, a designation to be able to
carry open container of alcoholic beverage around downtown. We are
looking for public input on this idea. Do you like
the idea in general? We have a map that shows
the area that we're looking at. Do you like this map?
Do you want to go further? Do you want to
make it smaller? Go to our socials, but also louisvill
(09:05):
ky dot gov. The link is on there on the
city's website. We're taking public input because we are looking
for to make sure that we're hitting this right. It's
cool other cities do it. We want to do it.
We should have it, but we also want to make
sure we do it right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's you already hit it upon it that so many
other cities do it well and we can just do
what they do and it's a contained area, but still
it makes you feel like you're having a street party.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Like, well when we do our excuse me, Saint Patrick's
Parade and you're on Barstown Road talking to your friends
out on the sidewalk and you're still having a beer and.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's okay, free right, festive, and you just put more
vibrant than your right on the street. People can wander
and I think people will actually explore more and find
new things to them that will be interesting.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
No doubt about it. Yeah, I'm a yes vote. I
don't know if you can tell that or not.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yay, Yes, we love it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Rebecca fly Shaker, great sea again, Good to see you, Terry.
Keep loving on downtown Louis. We'll get so many great restaurants,
so many places to go. Figure out a way to
get to a show, get to a restaurant and do
what you do.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Time's going on and it looks great.
