This is a wonderful local roadside vegetable stand - the best thing about it is there is no human interaction - you choose what you like, place the money in the envelopes provided then place the envelope inside the mail slot in the doorway. There is a scale there to weigh your tomatoes (it is set for tomatoes), paper bags, a pen (tied to a string - I generally try to leave an extra one if they need it), a fridge which contains fresh-picked corn, farm-fresh eggs, free bottled water and Icees for the kids in the freezer. They also take egg cartons in return.
The giant yellow squash to the right are free. They have tons of them. There are also homemade jams, jellies & pickles.
This wonderful little farm stand is located at 1209 Flat Rock Road, Louisville, KY, USA. They have a beautiful garden directly behind it.
AT&T, CSX working on RR crossing gates which have been malfunctioning for at least a decade. Oil spills & environmental violations throughout this area both above ground & underground ignored as elsewhere in Louisville & the rest of Kentucky. No neighborhood is exempt. All of the above had been previously reported years ago with no action taken.
Across the street is Taco Bell, KFC, Arby's, AT&T, Starbucks, El Nopal, PNC Bank, etc....
LaGrange Road, Louisville, KY
It is so hard to get local communities here involved in recycling. Yet they wonder why there is no local seafood available here and wonder why there are fish and swim advisories posted Statewide in Kentucky. It's just gonna take time. Hopefully in my lifetime.
This tragic train vs. auto accident occurred a few weeks ago and a young life was taken - he was only 19 years old. He apparently attempted to make a right hand turn crossing the tracks. From looking at the scene it appears the train pushed the car with such a force it went airborne and landed over a hundred feet into a deep ditch. My sincerest condolences to all involved. But there are *no* gates. The following photos depict the scene and are quite disturbing considering this loss of a promising young life could have and should have been prevented and was not.
There have been similar accidents at this same crossing in the past.
This is what is confusing to me:
East Blue Lick Road Add gates to existing flashing lights and bell system at CSX Railroad Crossing on East Blue Lick Road. (343 526X) Add to TIP as part of KIPDA #174 Various general rail/highway protection improvement program projects. Add FY2014 Construction $240,000 federal; RHPD funding
So WHERE ARE THE GATES? Better yet where is our $240,000 and the BIDS for a $50,000 job.

UPDATE: I was informed today June 7, 2018, gates have been installed at this crossing now - unsure how long ago they were installed, but they're up and hopefully functioning correctly. Thank you.

This "scary" orb spider was spotted hanging out nearby. After displaying some threatening poses the spider reached up with one leg and skillfully detached the top half of it's web instantly (releasing it's massive collection of small flies it captured to a secured area safe from predators). It was comical, however, as it appeared spider was making the statement "if you want to get past this web you'll need to jump over it because I'm a badass spider". The spider never budged or flinched other than a few deimatic poses and Pancake and I did in fact walk around the web. Also got some great shots while Pancake snoozed contentedly in the sun.
