Stacey: We’re at Discoveries on Bardstown Road Highlands, kind of next to the Bristol and we just discovered it. I’ve never been here and I’m ashamed on you. They’ve got a lot of really interesting flora lee, items, and horse shoes. I’m always looking for that and just have very nice selection.
These are some unique fines at Edenside Gallery. This is a handcrafted wooden ball pen prepped in Kentucky. These were pretty inexpensive gift.
Chaz: I like to come to J. Shepherd which is a great cigar shops, one of the best in the city. And I came here because this is the time to get cigars for my friends, so I’m going to take you inside, come on.
Definitely great wine store to hit when you’re in the Highlands, its right in the heart of everything and their wine selection is impeccable.
Stacey: They’ve got a great urban selection here at Old Town including some pretty special wines under glass. Some good stuff in this row is a wall of a Kentucky.
Chaz: You know many people asked me—really cool shorts about Louisville and I get it him at Why Louisville. People love to come here and shop. So it’s pretty cool that people love to come out the city. And they come to this store at Why Louisville to pick them up.
Well, to say Stacey it has been a very long day. We started at 11:30 AM.
Stacey: It has hard to kind of see that in the Podcost that we cut down the web to seven to nine minutes.
Chaz: Yeah.
Stacey: We’ve been going at this for hour.
Chaz: And it’s 5:30 PM and—
Stacey: We could have gone many, many more. We only got about half of—not even a third of Bardstown Road.
Chaz: Oh, there are so many stores that we drove by.
Stacey: There’s a shop that I wanted to go to Coco’s a chocolate shop, lot of places.
Chaz: There’s a great thing about Bardstown Road. There are so much to hangout, checkout and do—it’s wonderful in the course, during the holidays, they have the Bardstown Road to glow which is a great for them to participate and then go in to shop—
Stacey: Lot of activities all year like that.
Chaz: I mean in the highest in Louisville is like if you’re in the Greengage Village, this is Louisville Greengage Village.
Stacey: Yeah, it really is. It’s just really distinct neighborhood.
Chaz: Well, we’re closing it up here. We’re in Asia Tick right in the heart of the highlands and came back for the Lasavino and some great appetizers. In fact, what do we have?
Stacey: We had some veggies, calamari, a special that they had tonight a rested mussels with some cheese and some scallops and then a spring roll that the chef kind of invented with goat cheese and cramp meat and green onion that was amazing.
