A vandalism charge, a Flock camera assist, and fall events fill today's Hardin County roundup.
A KSP trooper pulls a family from a burning wreck on I-65, license-plate cameras crack a car theft ring, and Hinton's Orchard turns 20.
A new co-host, a big handoff, football's return, a Publix opening date, and a housing market getting more selective. Here's everything from this week's show.
Rachel Brantingham introduces her new co-host, Motto Mortgage loan officer Grafton Sizemore, on the same episode where Phil Taul and Scott Lucas announce their handoff.
Fried taco shells, a 12 inch quesadilla, and a tres leches cake that ended in a tug of war. Britten and Michele McDowell review Guero's Salsa and More in Radcliff.
Fewer homes sold, but they sold faster and for more. Rachel Brantingham on what a slower absorption rate really means for Hardin County buyers and sellers.
Nate Bryan has the Publix opening date everyone's been asking about, plus a new skin bar, a bungee fitness studio, and four tenants leaving Mulberry Square.
Jon O'Brien previews a packed week: football opens Friday with John Hardin's only home game, plus the Homecoming Parade, St. James Picnic, and Bee School.
Data center rules adopted 6-0, an ice rink bid rejected at nearly twice budget, a new public speaking policy, a second nonprofit moving into the Woodland Drive building, and two public comments. What happened at the August 17 Elizabethtown City Council meeting, from the city's own video.
Elizabethtown's data center zoning rules are now law. The City Council adopted Ordinance 13-2026 on a 6-0 roll call vote August 17, with no discussion. Minutes later, a resident asked the question nobody had asked before the vote: does the 50,000 square foot cap include sub-basements?
Flock cameras help police recover seven stolen cars, the Justice Center reopens after an HVAC closure, and Rand Paul checks in on Fort Knox's gold.
Off The Clock's grand opening is Friday, Aug. 21, on the second floor of The Assembly above the Social Food Hall. GM Caleb Powers walked us through the whole space first: the rooftop nobody knew was there, the private tasting room, the bourbon lockers, and the entrance you will get wrong.
