Louisville Ranks High Among Pet-Friendly Cities
Louisville is the tops for tails according to Priceline.com. The hotel-booking website, with nearly 300,000 participating hotels and accommodations worldwide, recently compiled a list of America’s best cities for people traveling with pets, ranking Louisville ninth, after Albuquerque, Portland, Tucson, Tampa, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, Austin and Tulsa, and before San Francisco.
The cities were ranked according to their number of pet-friendly hotels within Priceline.com’s network of Express Deals hotels, off-leash dog parks per hundred thousand people, and walkability as measured by the Walk Score for each city.
Orders Being Taken for Memorial Paver Stones
Orders are now being taken for memorial paver stones to be placed within Hal Warheim Park, at 1832 Overlook Terrace in the Belknap neighborhood. The purchase of a Hal Warheim Memorial Paver Stone is a unique way to commemorate a friend, family member or special occasion while helping to preserve the park.
The paver stones are inscribed as directed and installed in the park’s pavilion each spring. Proceeds go toward park maintenance and improvements.
This year the park hopes to meet its goal of 20 new paver stones. The cost of one paver stone is a tax deductible contribution of $100. Orders must be received by May 15, 2013, for installation this year.
