Two Upscale Kentucky Hotels Are Offering a Unique Booking For Summer
When I book a hotel, I always try to find one that has either an indoor or outdoor pool. But usually, I'm too busy to actually swim in the pool. There is no way that I'm going to wake up at 6 am just to enjoy a swimming pool before it is time to check out of the hotel.

The rising cost of fast food menu items has become a hot-button topic.

One website claims that Hoosiers are obsessed with this restaurant the most, but I don't think that's true. Indiana has a lot of great restaurants that have been open for years. These restaurants have become staples in that area where people must go whenever they are in town. They are restaurants that can even become bucket-list places to dine at. Whether it be comfort food, burgers, fried chicken, seafood, Italian, Mexican, steakhouses, or any other type of restaurant, there are certain places that stand out among the rest.
Bring on the Eucalyptus Leaves — the Louisville Zoo Is Adding Two New Koalas
Of the zoos that I have visited--and there haven't been very many, to be honest--the Louisville Zoo is, far and away, my second favorite. Now wait, don't scold me.
