The community podcast for Hardin County, Kentucky — hosted by Rachel Brantingham, Phil Taul, Scott Lucas, Jon O'Brien, Nate Bryan, and Britten McDowell. New episode every Wednesday.
At least 67 license plate cameras are watching Hardin County roads. We sat down on camera with the police chiefs running them and asked every uncomfortable question, including what happens when one of their own abuses it.
I-65 reopens early, a new sheriff's unit debuts, and Hardin County gears up for back to school.
Two weeks after saying it had no applications, Elizabethtown's Planning Commission voted 3-0 to send data center limits to City Council. Here is what the rules actually say, in their own words.
The cameras already know your car, so Phil asked the people watching them. Plus 2,000 classic cars downtown, Wawa's vanished grand opening, steady housing inventory, and 2B Thai.
Around 67 license plate reader cameras are on Hardin County roads. Phil sat down with the police chiefs of Elizabethtown and Radcliff to ask how they're used, audited, and kept honest.
An anniversary dinner turned review: the sampler platter, the peach mango spring rolls, and why Britten calls 2B Thai his highest-rated restaurant in Hardin County.
For the first time in months, Hardin County inventory didn't climb. Rachel breaks down 416 listings, a $290,000 median, and the five very different markets inside one county.
Everbowl is out and Beignets and Brews is in at the Publix development, Baskin-Robbins and Iron Brigade Gym open big, and Wawa's grand opening quietly disappears after a gas spill.
Jon O'Brien's week: Cruisin' the Heartland brings 2,000-plus classic cars downtown, the Voices of Change Back to School Bash, a rodeo, a memorial 5K, and dollar wings at Duff's.
Elizabethtown neighbors push back on a rezoning plan, plus wreaths, a rodeo, and a sunflower field keeping one family farm afloat.
Thousands of classic cars roll into downtown Elizabethtown next weekend, plus a rescheduled orchestra show and back-to-school buzz across the county.
A grant lands for county seniors, a summer camp wraps its season, and Kentucky's storm survey continues.
