Ate dinner at the chinese restaurant Friday night. Stayed close to home since we were planning to be so busy Sat. (Ate out twice: Flabby's and BBC St. Matthews on Sat.)
Very nice. very pleasant hosts. we both had sizzing dishes, one spicy - which I prefered. I ended up added the spicy one to mine. Nicely done. The hostess even came by and picked up my purse off the floor and placed in on a nice stand. I saw others had it too. Very quiet but enjoyable spot. People having a birthday. One table with a young son enjoying the aquarium not bothering anyone. I look forward to warmer weather and sitting outside at both this place, Karem's, and Gelatos. We live about 5 min. away and walk up and down the streets admiring the houses. I love seeing the houses almost on the sidewalks. Driveways in the back. Love the scale of the houses. No 4 story entry halls. No garages bigger than my house - well there might be one or two, but overall, we love it. And we think of Seaside Florida when we stroll there and imagine our walking or riding our bikes through there.
I always felt that this should have been built further into Louisville where land is available and and many blocks of housing could have been refurbished, but maybe that will happen next. I hope Liberty Greeen will be completed. I might beable to afford that version and to be downtown, a short bike ride to work, to both my daughters, the parks, the river, downtown, the Tap Room, BBC 4 th street. Riding the bikes across to Indiana.
I digress. The Tea Garden was lovely and we will be back. Something for everyone.
I wouldn't have to move downtown if there were sidewalks out here and I could walk to Norton Commons. I moved out here before anything was built and accepted the fact that I would have to drive everywhere, but with so much so close, I still have to drive every where.
Thankyou
