“Well surprise, surpise!” -Gomer Pyle
If I’m dating myself with that quote, please forgive me. (Or, if you find my taste in sitcoms uncivilized, I completely agree.)
Tax Credits Still Exist for Certain Louisville Home Improvement Projects
Nobody likes taxes. Well, almost nobody… there is this loopy bird who wants Obama to raise his taxes. But for the remaining 99.999% of us, lower taxes is a good thing. If tax credits still exist for certain projects, which ones are they? No fear, let’s check them out!
Shermageddon Makes Kentucky Housing More Desirable
The big news in Louisville these days is the shutdown of the Sherman Minton Bridge, or what a creative mind termed Shermageddon.

Nearby neighborhoods include Stone Lakes, Saratoga Woods, and the newer Saratoga Springs and Bridges of Razor Creek. Still situated in a rural part of Jefferson County but inside the Gene Snyder Expressway and close to expressways, shopping, and more.
