Walk Away From Cancer 5K Walk

August 20, 2014 by

THE WALK AWAY FROM COLON CANCER & 5K RUN is an event to raise awareness and funds to eliminate preventable colon cancer by increasing screening rates.

Each year, thousands of families are affected by this common but little discussed disease. Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cancer killer in both men and women in Kentucky, Indiana, and the whole U.S. despite the fact that it is one of the most preventable forms of cancer.

By participating in the 5K, you and your team join our growing movement to make colon cancer a disease of the past. The Colon Cancer Prevention Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to end preventable colon cancer death and suffering.

Don’t Skip the Pretzel Doughnuts at Nord’s Bakery

August 14, 2014 by

You won't regret paying a visit to Nord's Bakery, one of Louisville’s favorite spots for sweet treats. Try the famous Kentucky-shaped iced sugar cookies, or go for a few of the "pretzel donuts," which are shaped like pretzels, but taste like doughnuts through and through. The cinnamon rolls are another local favorite here, as are the cheese danishes, and of course, the wide variety of glazed and sugared doughnuts. If you find yourself overwhelmed by all of the options in the display case, the friendly staff can help you narrow down what you want. And if it's your first time into the shop, they might even give you a freebie taste of a few items!

Bring cash or prepared to make a big order: There's a $6 minimum for cards, and the doughnuts are so reasonably priced that $6 will get you a boxful. Finally, don't forget to order a cup of coffee to help wash down your delicious treat.

Nord's Bakery is open 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through Mondays.

Frazier History Museum: Step Back in Time With This Louisville Favorite

July 17, 2014 by

The Frazier History Museum is a popular way to spend an afternoon in Louisville. Housed in a 100,000-square-foot building, the armor and weapons of a medieval knight are spotlighted, as well as the cannons, muskets, and swords of imperial Britain. In fact, the Frazier History Museum is the only place outside of Great Britain that displays Royal Armouries artifacts covering a 1,000-year period. The museum also boasts temporary exhibitions that have proven to be crowd pleasers.

The Frazier History Museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

Please & Thank You: Coffee and Records Is Music to the Ears

July 10, 2014 by

For Please & Thank you, winning Louisville magazine’s cookie-off was just a reaffirmation of what many Louisville locals already knew: This place makes a good chocolate chip cookie. So good, in fact, that they sell bake-it-yourself chocolate chip cookie dough for diehards to make during off-hours.

Along with chocolate chip cookies, this cafe-meets-record store has a menu that includes lox bagels, toasted pressed sandwiches, and ganache lattes. As you sit and sip, Please & Thank You treats your ears to vinyl music, also sold here.

Plenty of natural light spills through store. Inside, you’ll find wooden tables, shelves of records, and a glass case full of pastries and topped with even more sweets. You can get as many of those treats as time allows, as they are offered until Please & Thank You runs out for the day.

Please & Thank You
