 Monday was full of exciting announcements about the Colonial Gardens redevelopment project! Construction is right on schedule, so you can expect a grand opening in the spring of 2019. This $5 million project is sure to be a source of pride for our south Louisville community.
The original, historic colonial gardens building is being restored and converted into a restaurant while three new restaurant structures are being constructed. All four are going to be locally owned and share a common outdoor beer garden in the center.
Stay tuned! The restaurants will be announced sometime in January. If you have any questions regarding this new project, please call the District 12 office (502) 574-1112.

 After a hiatus of approximately 60 years, Louisville’s Veterans Day Parade started on Veterans Day, November 11, 2011, as a commemoration of the date – the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year, a coincidence that would not occur for another one hundred years.
Since then the Parade and Massing of the Colors Ceremony has grown to include approximately 80 units, special displays and related events, all to honor American veterans from all wars, active duty members of the Armed Services and their families.
This year’s parade (FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9) will start at 11:00 A.M., the hour that the cease fire took effect to end WWI on November 11, on the day that became known first as Armistice Day and now as Veterans Day.
WHEN: Friday, November 9 at 11 a.m.
WHERE: The parade will step off at 7th and Jefferson and head east past Metro Hall and disperse at 4th and Jefferson.
