A visit to 'WorkShop: the creative work place'

In an effort to find creative workspace for the remote creative knowledge worker in Louisville, KY, I stopped by to see Stephanie Ringer at the WorkShop on 1205 East Washington Street, Louisville, KY. In addition to being near Blind Pig, the space is full of creativity and energy. 

It's the best local space I've seen for ideation and product development. It's full of painted white boards, markers, flip charts, post its, index cards, tape - everything you need for creative business play. 

The only thing that I think it's missing is an arsenal of nerf guns.

A night at Le Gallo Rosa

What a night. A friend and I had arranged to meet each other at Ramsi's on Bardstown Road, and while standing out front, I decided to move it on over to Le Gallo Rosa. What a great decision.

It was the night before they opened their expansion into the front rooms, and Joe took care of us, as he does everyone. The conversation with Angela flowed before the wine could start, and was better than the wine. Was it better than the food? Answering that question might hurt someone's feelings, so I'll leave that as rhetorical.

Angela hadn't had scallops since she was a kid, nor calamari. So in true 'Paul' fashion, I pushed her to try them. Not many better places to try them - Scallops on a bed of figs sprinkled with prosciutto. Amazing! The portions are so huge, we decided to share a main entrée - chicken breast stuffed with a cherry cream sauce. Again, crazy good. Nothing more can be said.

The best of the night, as far as food goes, was the cannoli. She makes the shells, need I say more? Srsly? After desert, we took a quick tour of the renovations, and I can't wait to go back.

Henry Clay apartments in Louisville

The ongoing search for a downtown loft lead me to the Henry Clay building in downtown Louisville. The Clay is nestled between the YMCA and Fourth Street Live; it's a great location. The units have polished concrete floors, and a wonderful location. This is a historic building, built back in the 1920's, so there aren't many of the amenities of modern buildings like a lot of communal areas. The units have lower ceilings, and are a mix between industrial and residential. They seem to be trapped in no man's land. 

The photos are of two units, a one bedroom and a two bedroom. Notice the VOIP phone - that was a real surprise. 

On my rating matrix it rated: 9 (an aggregate of Cost, Community and Interior score).
