“I host a running walking group here just a block from my house at Sig Luscher Brewery. We do that every Tuesday at six o'clock. It’s a good way to meet people.” Leesa Unger, City Commissioner

Here are a few photos from Frankfort for the Kentucky Documentary

 Project. These were taken by Courier-Journal Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, Pat McDonogh @kydocumentary 

Cozy store interior with memorabilia; a person stands in the doorway, evoking nostalgia and a sense of transition to the outside.

In this image, we see the interior of a cozy store, likely a shop for shoes or a similar service, given the signage. The walls are lined with various items and memorabilia, contributing to a nostalgic atmosphere. A person is standing in the doorway, facing outside, creating a sense of transition as they prepare to leave the store.

The overall mood of the photo feels warm and inviting, yet there’s an element of contemplation suggested by the figure at the threshold. This scene can invoke feelings of nostalgia, curiosity, and even a touch of longing, as the person appears ready to step into the outside world, leaving the comfort of the store behind. The combination of warm lighting and the organized clutter of items adds to a sense of character and charm, inviting reflection on past experiences or memories associated with such spaces.

Musician in formal attire crosses a vibrant urban crosswalk with a double bass, surrounded by colorful murals.

The image depicts a musician carrying a double bass as he crosses a crosswalk in a vibrant urban setting. The background features colorful murals on the walls, suggesting a lively and artistic community. The musician is dressed in formal attire, which might indicate he is heading to a performance or event.

The scene invokes a mix of emotions and moods. The presence of the double bass evokes a sense of creativity and passion for music. The colorful murals contribute a feeling of joy and liveliness to the atmosphere. There’s a whimsical quality to the moment, capturing a blend of everyday life and artistic expression. The interaction between the musician and the surrounding environment can evoke feelings of inspiration and connection to the arts, as well as a sense of community.

“I just want to invite you to come to live in Frankfort. I don't think you'll ever be disappointed.”- Patty Peavler, Retiree & Museum Worker

In February we had a string of unbelievably warm days - perfect for a walk downtown to enjoy a beer at Sig Luscher, Frankfort’s original hometown brewery. Here’s a bit of my 20-minute perambulation from South Frankfort to Sig’s.

It’s OK to have more than one Andy’s post here. The reality is if you go to Andy’s on a Saturday morning, you’re likely to run into someone you know. The same can be said for Poppy’s and B’s. I can walk to both of those bakeries, as well; however not as quickly as I can walk to Andy’s. It’s all about location. Downtown and South Frankfort walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods. Sometimes days go by without needing a car. I’ll put it this way: there are more days that I don’t need a car than there are days I don’t “need” something from Andy’s.
