Schnitzelburg area general meeting tonight

Join us at the general meeting tonight, April 27, to learn about recycling from Louisville's Solid Waste Management department. As usual, the meeting is at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of St. Elizabeth's church on Burnett Street.

A good time was had by all

We'd like to extend a big thank you to our local businesses who made this year's Schnitzelburg Walk a great success. We stopped for delicious rolled oysters at Flabby's, enjoyed a cold one at The 19th Hole and listened to some great music at The Zeppelin, Check's and Old Hickory.

The scene at the Zeppelin

Lots of family-friendly fun at The Hara Center

It's not a party until someone puts a traffic cone on their head!

Schnitzelburg Walk this Saturday, April 25

Don't forget to come out and support our local businesses during the Schnitzelburg Walk this Saturday! Youu can visit your old favorites like Check's, where you can enjoy delicious chili...

Or introduce yourself somewhere new, like The Hara Center, where they will have an art show and sale...

The Zeppelin Cafe will be offering karaoke beginning at 5 p.m., and will switch over to live music at 7 p.m. There will also be a band set up at the corner of Lydia and Hickory near Flabby's and Old Hickory, and the All Wool Yard Wide Club will have a DJ. Don't forget to visit the Schnitzelburg Pub and Jockamo's on Goss!

Most things are getting startes around 5 or 6 p.m., and everyone needs to be off the streets by midnight! The City has been good to us for years about permits and such, let's return the favor by not littering and keeping the neighborhood looking great for all to enjoy.

Our neighbors in Phoenix Hill are looking for a few good musicians

Our friends in Phoenix Hill are looking for talented people to perform at their farmers' market, so I thought I'd pass this along:

Dear music-related friends,

The Phoenix Hill Farmers' Market is going well again in its 3rd season. We have a good customer base and wonderful vendors. The Steering Committee is currently trying to find ways for the market to take the next step from being a great farmers' market to becoming a great neighborhood gathering place as well. We are hoping to add some new features to the market, and one of those is some sort of cooking demonstration and/or music/entertainment each week.

We are trying to schedule a local music performer/entertainer at each of the Farmers' Market days for the rest of the season (through October 27). The market is every Tuesday from 3 - 6:30 p.m at 829 E. Market St. starting May 12. We are thinking maybe that the person/group would perform from 4:00 - 6:00 (but are flexible). They can open their guitar case, fiddle case, basket. etc. for tips. If they have CDs, they can set up a table and sell them. We are unable to pay anything at this time, though we are trying to figure out ways to compensate for their time and talent. The farmers are usually very generous at the end of the market day as well! We are hoping to get a calendar together soon, and get it out in the media. Please feel free to send this to anyone that you think might be interested. If you are a musician/entertainer and are interested, please let me know.

You can email me or call me at 583-7133.

Thanks, Cindy Brown Kinloch

We want to hear from you!

Schnitzelburg Area Community Council general meetings are generally held on the last Monday of every month at St. Elizabeth's Cafeteria at 7 p.m. We usually have a community leader, someone from the Louisville Metro Police Department or a speaker that can talk about home improvement or sustainablility there to give a speech and answer questions.

What would entice you to join us at these community meetings? Would a potluck be fun, or too much work? Are the meetings too early or too late? Is there an issue in our neighborhood that you would like someone to address? Please let us know!

Schnitzelburg is now on Facebook!

All who live in or love Schnitzelburg are invited to join our new Facebook group. Come on over and share a picture, start a discussion and connect with neighbors and friends!
