If you are speaking of the coverage that just aired on WHAS11 News at 5, we aired Hakeem Jeffries RIGHT after Speaker Johnson. I'm sorry you missed it.

πŸ¦πŸ†HISTORIC PROTECTION: The American Life Building on the Belvedere is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1973, it was quite the investment as people were fleeing downtown to suburbs. One of the last buildings by famed German architect Mies Van der Rohe.

Keeneland in Lexington had some amazing spring days this week. I'm always stunned by the # of Louisvillians AND Kentuckians who've never been here or even heard of it. Central KY horse heaven for sure.

Great to visit WAVE for John Boel's final day. He leaves their newsroom with love and respect for his incredible work ethic & journalism. Plus the T-shirts are amazing! He and I started competing against each other in 1989, loving every minute.

6 days on the job with WHAS11 , April 28,1987. Starting a long career covering Louisville's modern day champion of civil rights Rev. Louis Coleman, Jr. As Black History Months ends, found this in an old file! With his bull horn in hand, he uncovered injustice.

Anne and I had a wonderful time honoring the AMAZING Jordan Yuodis at his goodbye party. After serving Jefferson County in the fire service as a tremendous public servant, he's heading to Atlanta to be the public information officer/communications Chief for the Sheriff's Office there.

They are like Derby guests who don't want to leave Louisville: THE SNOW MOUNTAINS. They've been hanging around since Jan 5 and are now familiar friends. But tomorrow it's down the drain! Going to be 60 degrees. πŸ”₯#snow
