Doc Crow’s: Southern Cuisine With a Shot of Bourbon
April 24, 2014 by
Staying true to its location along downtown Louisville’s Whiskey Row, Doc Crow’s serves 160 whiskeys and more than 100 bourbons. However, the bourbon isn’t the only American flair on the menu. The restaurant focuses on American Southern cuisine with such dishes as seafood gumbo, fried green tomatoes, and catfish po-boys on Louisiana French bread. There’s also a daily selection of oysters, which Doc Crow’s serves with bourbon mignonette and a house-made cocktail sauce.
The interior is decorated in rustic sophistication with dark and light woods, fireplaces, and a ceramic white deer over the mantel. An industrial ceiling hangs over thick wooden benches and a brick wall painted “Bonnie Bros. Distillers.” The real charm is in the little things: Green olives, lemons, and other drink garnishes are stored in glass cotton ball containers, and cocktails may be served inside glass beakers.

4 Fun Ways to Recycle Old Magazines
April 17, 2014 by
We all have a stockpile of magazines somewhere in our home. Sure, you could simply toss them in the recycling bin, but why not use them in creative ways around the house? Check out these great uses for old magazines.
Use magazines as gift wrap. It seems to be the law of nature that you always use up a roll of wrapping paper halfway through wrapping a gift. Stop buying that expensive wrapping paper and use old magazines. The glossy pages make the gifts fun and bright. You can even turn magazine pages into gift bows. Check out an easy tutorial here.
Make a paper flower centerpiece. Flowers are an easy way to brighten up your home, but they tend to die quickly. Make flowers that last forever out of old magazines. It's easy and quick to do; just follow the instructions here.
Design your own jewelry. Make your own one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry out of paper. Experiment with different color and sizes to design bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and more. Watch this great YouTube video to learn how to make paper beads.
Make unique coasters. Protect the table surfaces in your house with recycled coasters. These coasters are made by weaving strips of paper together. All you need are some magazines and scissors. Check out these great instructions. If you're feeling especially crafty, make a whole set. These coasters also make great gifts.

Hey Residents,
We have a couple tips for Spring cleaning! Check out our helpful guide to keeping Avana Southgate beautiful this Spring! Thank you for your hard work and feel free to contact us in the office with any questions or requests!
Let's all do a great job keeping our property beautiful! Here are a few tips to keep in mind while you're doing your Spring cleaning!
– Don't forget that patios and balconies are not intended for a storage space. Remove boxes, trash, and clutter so you can use your patio when the sun is shining!
– Make sure the sidewalks, steps, and stairways remain clear so you can easily walk around the property.
– Thank you for diligently picking up after your pets! We have noticed a great improvement in pet waste pick-up! Keep those yards clean!
– Let us know if your blinds or anything else are damaged or missing, so we can make sure everything in your home is functional and beautiful.
– Slow and steady wins the race! Make sure you're driving cautiously in the parking lots and watch out for pedestrians.
– We don't want anything to happen to our younger residents, so please supervise them if they're playing outdoors.
– Please abide by our fire code. We ask that you remove all propane and charcoal grills from apartment homes, so your apartment is safe. We have community grills available for all residents to enjoy!
Thank you for your cooperation! With your help, we can keep Avana Southgate looking beautiful!
