Daily Briefing: These people live in Spencer County — or do they?

Good morning and happy Tuesday. (You can read today's eNewspaper here.)

We have a fair chance to see showers and thunderstorms throughout the day and into the evening hours, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service in Louisville. We should see a high around 89.

Here are this morning's top stories so far:

A confusing line: For more than 200 people living in Spencer County, things have been just fine. They've been able to work, play and learn in a small community away from the hubbub of the big city — until they all received a letter saying they weren't Spencer County residents at all.

After getting that notice in April, those residents now find themselves residents of Shelby County, all thanks to a county line that had been misinterpreted for decades. That single oversight has lead to a steadily growing mound of problems and headaches not just for them, but for county officials who now have to determine how to serve this small suburb in Shelby County that can't even be accessed by traveling its roads.

Read more about the issue and what the frustrated residents are now doing to get things fixed through our story from investigative reporter Stephanie Kuzydym.

In other news:

• Metro Government: Louisville's Hike, Bike & Paddle is set to permanently become a once-a-year event, according to internal city emails obtained by The Courier Journal.
• Entertainment: Summertime is festival time and there are plenty of them planned all around Louisville this season. Find your full guide to local summer festivals over here.
• Dining: Garage Bar is a place you've likely heard of if you've lived in Louisville for a while, but while they're known for their Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza, there's actually a lot more to their food than you might think.
