The campus was clean and easy to navigate, and the athletic field was in solid condition well maintained and set up nicely for spectators.

Southern high school is a magnet career high school in the Jefferson county public schools system…read morelocated off Preston Highway in the Okolona area of Louisville Kentucky. This purple and white wearing institution has a mascot of "Trojans" and was built in 1951. At one point southern was considered to have one of the top machine tool and die programs in the whole area. Being an alumni of southern graduating in the class of 2002 I can say that in my 4 years there I produced some great memories, met some life long friends (including my current wife) and had a really good time. I was pretty active in my time at a southern as I played 3 sports (football, wrestling, and track) and was involved in a various of clubs such as beta club and national honors society. During my time frame at the school the graduating classes were in the several hundreds. So in my 4 years being involved in all those activities with essentially 7 different graduating classes I probably interacted with close to a thousand different people. Like any school Southern is a place that you will get what you put into it. It's not considered a school for high academic excellence. But it is achievable. I feel like I made the most out of my time at the school and because of that I have long lasting memories and a better overall reaction to my time at the school. The school itself is quite large. Has two gymnasiums attached to the school, a large newly (built in the 90s I believe) renovated automotive department and 3 stories/floors full of classrooms. Well 4 floors if you count that historic and borderline mythical 4th floor that is gated off. I'm not sure about today's students but back in my day for several years there was all kinds of crazy rumors of what was up there. From a swimming pool, to a teachers smoking lounge there was all kinds of crazy and wild rumors. I've actually been up there. It's literally maybe 1-2 classrooms (it's been 20 years so some details escape me) full of old school supplies and a ladder that pops you up to the flat rooftop. And No! There isn't a pool up there. As stated already I enjoyed my time at the school. I'm not sure southern will ever be noted for a long list of famous alumni (super bowl mvp Phil Simms) and will never be a place you send a kid strictly to achieve a higher education. But the opportunity can be created. I'm personally fortunate enough to send my kids to private schools to try and set them up for higher education with better resources. However as stated, there are kids who don't take advantage of those programs. So it really does depend on the individual to make the most of there academic situation. I'll end this review the same way the former long time principal and principal during my time Jerry Keepers use to end his morning announcements. "Have a great Southern Day".

I've been going to this barbershop for years now! The prices for haircuts and beard trims are…read moreabsurdly cheap. I've never waited more than 2 minutes to get in a chair because they must have 20+ barber chairs in the place. The students are awesome and eager to take care of you and appreciative when you tip them. I love the atmosphere. It has the barber shop vibe with all the barbers talking sports, music, shoes, hairstyles, or whatever seems to come up. I find myself constantly laughing. Even though the barbers are students they make sure an instructor checks out your cut and approves it before you leave so you know it's a good cut. I'll keep going back because the environment is friendly and relaxed, it's the cheapest cut in town, you leave looking fresh, and I kind of like the idea of helping the students work towards something rather than overpay for an average cut from someone unappreciative somewhere that's more corporate.

It takes up most of the parking around here but that's okay. It's a nice old building and if I was going to go to Community College I'd like to come to a place like this for sure. It actually legit deadass looks like a university which is why it's so cool and it's right in the heart of everything in this small city.

The show is…read moregeared toward middle school students and teaching them the basics of sex education in a funny, light-hearted manner. I was hoping it would be a little more risque, but since they received a grant to use the show in schools they have to keep it clean. The show features a classroom of puppet students who are all embarrassed to be learning about sex ed. We laughed a ton as the puppet teacher made the puppets and the audience repeat different sex terms! The puppetteers did a great job with voices, timing and manipulating the puppets! The venue for the show is in the Highland Community Center on Breckenridge St. If you look at the building from the outside you will see it is an old church. It is very charming and has loads of character. When the church population dwindled they looked for tenants to help with the building costs. That's how the Squallis Puppetteers found their place. The "Hall of Puppets" has some of their VERY large puppets and is on the second story of the building, available for you to go and see/take pics with. It has some awesome puppets, including a huge Hunter S. Thompson that was part of Forecastle Festival! The music for "TMI" was done by Jim James, of My Morning Jacket. He is apparently a good friend of the puppet masters and it made the show even cooler! (MMJ also recorded a record in the same building-fyi) I asked about the Squallis Puppetteers adding a more adult-themed show and they said they have had several similar requests. I'm hoping they are able to do so because I know it would be spectacular! It's a cheap $5 way to have a few laughs and feel like a kid while watching a puppet show!
