In a city such as Louisville, where fun is seemingly around every corner, waiting to jump out and surprise you with a wine spritzer and an invitation to a puppy fashion show, it may seem hard to find a place where one can go to sulk. “Surely,” you may think to yourself, “in a city so entertaining, not having fun must be a privilege, a thing only available to the ridiculously wealthy.“ Not so, my friend. There are plenty of places to go in Louisville where not-fun can be readily had for absolutely nothing! The following is a list of the places you can...

I like to drink, ladies and gentlemen. There’s nothing quite like sitting down with a few friends for a beer or two or eight at the end of the day. Unfortunately, the comedy paychecks roll in few and far between, so that prevents me from drinking at classy establishments, the kind with fancy specialty cocktails, glitzy dancefloors, and a high-end clientele, all gussied-up for a night on the town. The solution to this? The Dive Bar. That bastion of American hope and freedom where the drinks are cheap, the people down to earth, and the bathrooms...

Face it - farts are funny. They always will be. Since modern women have finally admitted that they partake and, dare I say, are even fond of this national pastime, we finally live in an epoch of true equality. We can now all fart in peace and love one another like in all those songs your parents used to listen to. So what are the premier and preferred public areas to unleash anal aromas? Where in the ‘Ville can you get away with a fart frenzy? Nachbar Between the jazz-wailings of VAMP or the nigh-endless loop of Black Sabbath on the jukebox, there is...

Before school even started this year, we were already using our inclement weather days. There goes Presidents Day as a holiday and before we know it Spring break will be Spring day. With school still closed in August, it almost felt like the good old days where school started after Labor Day and we put people on the moon. Now we start in early August and can’t even put people to work. I did what half the rest of the city did and took my daughter to the Zoo. The Louisville Zoo is a great place to go when school is canceled because you get to see so many of...

We all see our friends tagged in Facebook pictures having the time of their life out on the town, but we rarely see the dark side. I'm talking about the side that involves sitting alone at 4am with cheese-stained clothes from a Taco Bell chalupa that you don't remember eating while you drunk text your ex-girlfriend and listen to infomercials on TV in the background. Bachelorhood in my twenties has taught me that talking to cute girls in a bar is a lot like playing the slot machines, but instead of feeding it quarters I’m feeding it overpriced fruity drinks...

With it being in Louisville and also being the 10th Annual Lebowski Fest, I felt a little disappointed by the number of beards populated the Executive Strike & Spare parking lot and its well-trimmed lawn for Lebowski Fest’s screening of The Big Lebowski. I was expecting a sea of beards, if not a small pond of men with beards. Beards are the trend that I've seen when in Louisville. Out of the hundreds of people that came out for the screening, I mainly saw older couples who weren’t quite 50 yet, families that included a couple of teens as their only...

Falling but mere miles due East of Louisville’s bustling Downtown district, there lies a mystical land, full of ancient mystery and many a wondrous spectacle. Its name comes quick to the tongues of the young, those starved for adventure: “NuLu,” a word whispered on the wind. Few have returned from this far-off realm, but those that have tell tales of the glories it holds, deep within its whirling sands. Consisting of the Phoenix Hill, East Market, and Butchertown neighborhoods, NuLu is short for “New Louisville,” a rebranding of this area...
