<![CDATA[I don't have a lot of specifics, hopefully they'll get them to me soon, but word is Rainbow Blossom at Gardiner is set to open on Monday, July 6. I was supposed to get in there and photograph the new shop a bit before it opened but I couldn't work it out with starting the new job. Sorry for that guys, but hopefully I'll make it up to you soon. In any case I am so happy to have Rainbow Blossom in my neighborhood. As soon as I get any grand opening details I'll update this post to let you know them.&nbsp; ]]>

<![CDATA[1. Driving home from work yesterday I noticed a couple changes to the restaurant landscape on Baxter Avenue. Something, I don't know exactly what, is coming to the former Nio's location. There's a giant sign that just says Coming Soon! (well it also has a Corona ad). So if anyone knows exactly what is coming soon it'd be swell if you let us know. <br /><br /><b>Update:</b> Carolyn from Simply PR tells us that she's heard it's going to be an El Tarasco. Having never been to an El Tarasco I can't speak specifically to their food but I'd be happy to have a good Mexican restaurant added to Baxter Avenue. We also hear it might be a Los Aztecs. So it seems likely it's something Mexican. <br /><br />2. J Gumbo's on Baxter is closed. I haven't been to that location in a while. I go to the one on Poplar Level (look at me getting out of my neighborhood rut!) and have typically had better experiences there than I did at the Baxter one but I'm still sorry to see J Gumbo's on Baxter gone. <br /> ]]>

I know The Green Building Gallery is opening a new show by Louisville photographer Sarah Lyon, the Louisville Science Center is having live music outside their front doors (weather permitting) featuring China Huddleston on classical guitar, Rona Osman on violin, and singer/songwriter Jennifer Lauletta, and the Cressman center has a really interesting photography show called "The Brutal Aesthetic" about boxing by the late photographer John Ranard.&nbsp; ]]>

<![CDATA[Forget wine and cheese apparently beer and cheese is really where it's at. Since I don't drink wine or beer I'll just take the cheese but for the beer lovers among us a Shlafly beer and cheese event must sound just delightful. <br /><br />Speaking of beer, <a href="http://twitter.com/jasonfalls">Jason Falls</a> linked to this<a href="http://www.accidentalhedonist.com/index.php?title=the_path_from_food_to_beer&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1"> interesting post from Accidental Hedonist</a> the other day that details the path from food to beer. <br /><br /><blockquote>The idea of pairing wine and cheese is one that people are familiar
with, but how do you begin to pair beer with cheese? Featuring a
line-up of beers crafted by Schlafly Brewing of St. Louis, we will
provide a guided tour of how to match cheese with ales, stouts, lagers
and more. A great event whether you are a beer lover, cheese lover, or
both!<br /></blockquote>Tuesday July 7, 2009<br />6:30PM<br />$5<br />

<![CDATA[Unless something major comes up at work that prevents me from walking over there, I'm planning to donate blood today at the<a href="http://wfpltheedit.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/another-type-of-donation/"> Louisville Public Media blood drive today</a>. If you work downtown why don't you take a little bit of extra time for your lunch break and do the same? <br /><br /> 

<blockquote>Come to our building at 619 S. 4th Street this Thursday from 10 to 2 to donate blood. Red Cross volunteers will be set up in the performance studio and you don't need an appointment to see them.<br /><br />

We're always giving stats on WFPL, and here are a few for the blood drive. Each pint of blood you donate can save up to three lives. Without donated blood for transfusions, 4 to 5 million Americans would die annually. And only 5% of eligible donors actually give blood.

</blockquote>

<![CDATA[Since I work downtown now I'm checking out all sorts of places I've never really been to before one of which is <a href="http://mrspotterscoffee.com/">Mrs. Potter's Coffee</a>. It's a tiny little shop in the Mueller Building (also known as the downtown driver's license building). I'm not embarrassed to tell you that I've been to Mrs. Potter's more than a couple times since I started my new gig a couple weeks ago. They have all&nbsp; your standard coffee shop beverages (locally roasted coffee, all the espresso drinks you can shake a stick at, juices, teas, fruit smoothies) plus breakfast and lunch panini (is panini the plural of panini?), a few salads, fruit, yogurt and dessert. I've yet to try the desserts but they have some really delicious looking cakes. What I like about their cake selections is that you have the option to buy either a small or a large slice, instead of a one size fits all approach.<br /><br />So far I've been mostly sticking with the mild coffee of the day but I have also had a really delicious vanilla latte (the best one I've had in a while in fact) and a banana smoothie. They have lots of other fruit choices and you can make up your own fruit combinations for smoothies. I found out today that next week Mrs. Potter's Coffee will be celebrating their one year anniversary. You should stop in to wish them happy anniversary and buy a tasty beverage. <br /><br /><b><a href="http://mrspotterscoffee.com/">Mrs. Potter's Coffee</a></b><br />718 W.

The day before my birthday, also known as July 26, The Bardstown Road Farmers' Market, the Eco-Stewardship committee of the Bardstown Road Presbyterian Church, and the Deer Park Baptist Church are hosting a "<a href="http://100milepotluck.com/">100 Mile Potluck</a>." <br /><br />

The concept is pretty simple, bring a potluck dish "made with locally grown and/or produced foods obtained within 100 miles of your home. Not every single ingredient has to be local, just do the best you can. The main focus is to share good food with friends and neighbors, learn more about where to buy local food and have some fun in the process."<br /><br />How fantastic is that? <br /><br />I know it's a month away and I don't usually write about stuff this far in advance but I think this is such a great concept that I want to make sure you have plenty of time to make plans to attend if you are so inclined. <br />]]>

It's called Joe Davola's and that's about the extent of the actual knowledge I have on the place. Well, the door indicated that they offer wifi. That bodes well for them already. I'm going to try to make it there for lunch this week or next and report back after. But in the meantime if you want to check it out and report back on it well that would be super.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I don't have the street address but it's at the corner of Barret and Breckenridge (What neighborhood would you classify that as? Highlands?).&nbsp;</div>]]>
