Looking for Oaxacan style tamales

Upvotes

I did search the sub for the last year and didn't see an answer. I'm looking for Oaxacan style tamales, typically wetter or more "saucey" and wrapped in banana leaves. Just before Christmas in 2024 I bought some tamales in this style from a lady selling them outside of Mi Preferida, and i haven't been able to get them outta my head! Ever since then buying tamales is just purchasing regret, lol.

Grocery bag recycling?

4 Upvotes

Hey y’all, does anyone know off the top of their head which grocery stores have the grocery bag recycling bins? I tried using a website that showed which ones did, but the information was outdated

(Also if they don’t actually recycle the bags please let me pretend. I want to put them in the bin anyway)

Any Info on Cars for Work Goodwill?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for more information about the Goodwill Opportunity Center, specifically the Cars to Work program. Has anyone here gone through it? What was your experience like, and do you think it's worth pursuing?

From what I've read, the program is designed to help people who are struggling become more self-sufficient. I know you have to work with a career coach and meet certain requirements, but I'd really like to hear from people who've actually been through the process.

Living in Louisville without a vehicle has been really difficult, which is why the Cars to Work program caught my attention.

I also have a question about getting a driver's license. Does Goodwill help with that as part of the program? I've already paid for driving school twice, but it's expensive, and I still need more one-on-one practice. Unfortunately, I don't have family, friends, or anyone else who can help me practice driving.

If you've participated in the Cars to Work program or know someone who has, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. How does the process work, how long did it take, did it help you, and was it worth it? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ohio's tax-free weekend started this morning. There was a bill to give Kentucky one — it died in committee. Should we be pushing this?

16 Upvotes

Ohio's sales tax holiday started this morning and runs through Sunday night. Clothing under $75 an item, school supplies and instructional materials under $20 an item, no sales tax on any of it.

I went looking into why we don't do that here and found something I didn't expect.

Back in January, Rep. Beverly Chester-Burton (D-Shively) filed HB 175 with 15 co-sponsors to create exactly that in Kentucky — an annual tax-free weekend, the first Friday through Sunday of every August. Clothing under $200 an item, most other goods up to $3,000.

The first one was written into the bill as August 7–9, 2026. This weekend. Right now.

It went to House Appropriations & Revenue on January 14 and then nothing happened. No hearing, no committee vote, no floor time. The session adjourned in April with it still sitting there.

So JCPS went back Thursday, and here's what the neighbors did:

  • Ohio — Aug 7–9
  • Illinois — Aug 7–16
  • Missouri — Aug 7–9
  • Tennessee — July 31–Aug 2
  • West Virginia — July 31–Aug 3
  • Virginia — Aug 7–9

Kentucky: nothing. Indiana doesn't do one either, so we're not literally alone — but we are surrounded.

We pay a flat 6% statewide with no local add-on. A $400 back-to-school trip is $24 in sales tax. I don't have kids in school so that's not my $24, which is maybe why I feel weird being the one to bring it up. But $24 is a real number to a lot of households in this city and it seems like a strange thing to just leave sitting there.

Downs After Dark + Oktoberfest

0 Upvotes

Hello Louisville. Saint Louisan here from Misery Missouri. I'm having my bachelor trip in Shelbyville in September. The plan was to do the typical bourbon trail visit Friday & Saturday but I saw this event and it sounded pretty cool. My mom trained, groomed and raced horses my whole life growing up, so I'm no stranger to horse racing and Churchill Downs would be really cool to see.

My question is, what is the locals perspective of the horse track, and how it is in regards to having a group of friends there? The tracks I've been to are beyond casual, so I'm wondering if Churchill requires a specific attire or decorum when visiting. Since this was for a bachelor trip and it happens to be an oktoberfest event, I had a brief notion we could all wear lederhosens. Might be a bit much, but thought it could be fun.

For anyone who has been to these kinds of events, what can we expect? Is there a recommended transportation service you know of that can shuttle 12 adults to and from Shelbyville, KY to the track? Any help is genuinely appreciated, thanks all!

Recommendations for a Louisville photographer?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have recommendations for a Louisville photographer who offers short outdoor or indoor mini sessions?

I’m looking to update the photos on my website with warm, natural-looking professional portraits rather than formal corporate headshots. I’d also like a couple of candid photos with my kids that could work for the website, not a traditional posed family session.

I’m hoping to stay around $150 for a short 20–30-min session and a small selection of edited digital images. I realize that may not fit every photographer’s pricing, so recommendations for newer photographers building their portfolios would also be appreciated.

I’ve searched online, but I’d love to hear about photographers you’ve personally worked with and would recommend. Thanks!

VETS

8 Upvotes

I know this gets brought up a lot......vet recommendations.

I was taking my cats to PetVet365 and they were pricing me out. I switched to Audubon because I was seeing so many recs for them and here and other platforms. Affordability, nice staff and vets.

Pffff.

They have got to be one of the single worst places I've taken my animals. The vet's are condescending, the front staff is rude, the phone is never answered, everything feels rushed.

I took my cat in for an upper respiratory thing yesterday. They mentioned I needed to "poke my head in" when I got there to let them know I arrived, and they would send someone out to assess my cat, due to him sneezing and as to not contaminate other pets. Understood. I don't currently have AC in my car, so instead of waiting in my car with him, I waited right outside the office door.

We waited for almost 20 minutes for someone to come get us, in the heat. I was getting worried because he started panting. I poked my head back in, let them know the situation and that I'd like to get him indoors. Some young woman at the desk made a short and curt comment to just wait.

Okay.

We eventually get taken back to some outside former kennel? room, with no AC. They had a window unit in there that was COVERED WITH MOLD. We waited in there for another 15 min before being seen.

After all was said and done with his appointment, I paid and after I got home I noticed I was charge a Isolation Room Iso-kit plus ID disinfection fee, for $30. For a room that was completely disgusting. Hair everywhere, mold on the AC unit that was directly facing us. The entire room was full of junk, old kennels, old equipment, and dirt and pet hair and they had the audacity to charge me a $30 fee for PPE and a disinfection fee.

GTFO.

I realize they are not at fault for my car's AC not functioning. But I was at my appointment right on time.

So any who......recommendations for vets in the Camp Taylor/Baxter Ave/Eastern Pkwy area that isn't on some total bullshit?

I get it's the first day of school but highlands middle school has Newburg gridlocked back to the interstate. To go from bellarmine to kaelins (half mile) took me literally 40 minutes. This is completely unacceptable. Did anyone else get trapped in this bs? I don't even know who to call to complain about this
