Your Kentuckiana Guest Guide

Supporting Local Is in My DNA

Supporting local was never a trend in my family. It was how I was raised by parents and grandparents who were quirky business owners with one-of-a-kind businesses of their own. Growing up meant walking into Lynn’s Paradise Cafe, Sunday meals after church at The Café inside the old Louisville Antique Mall on Goss Avenue, and every strange, wonderful local place we could find. Those places made our city feel alive. This guide is how I celebrate the Kentuckiana businesses keeping that spirit going. I can still remember going to ear X-tacy as a first grader to grab the Spice Girls album when it came out.
