‘You guys are gonna get somebody killed’
I’ve spent a lot of time in airports: working overseas, commuting between jobs in other cities (like D.C. and San Francisco) and visiting family around the country.

This story about parking seems pointless
This appeared in the CJ yesterday. I have no idea why this was even published: Those traveling during the holiday season may be wondering if they can pull over at state highway rest areas for some shut eye. In Kentucky, it is allowed — but there are some restrictions on how long you can stay. Here’s what…

Top Louisville bosses live out of state
This is not encouraging for the future of Louisville business. According to a 2024 Fortune report, 9.5% of CEOs are now considered “super commuters” meaning they live hundreds of miles away from their headquarters and typically fly in to the office a few days a week.
