Louisville Eccentric Observer - Print Media Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I can't believe it's been over 2 years since anyone reviewed Leo. It's still going strong. It was recently purchased by Aaron Yarmuth, son of Leo founder John Yarmuth, (now Congressman John Yarmuth). And his first order of business was to lay off a good portion of Leo's senior staff, (including "The Bar Belle" Sara Havens on the exact day of her 15 year anniversary with Leo). And causing 2 more of their senior staff to walk over contract disputes. But in spite of that, it's still coming out weekly and filled with almost all of the content you've come to know and love, minus a few columns obviously. Need to know what band is playing where? They got you covered. Need to know restaurant suggestions? They got you covered. Need to know what's going on in KY politics? Covered. Reviews of some of the latest dvd releases? Covered. Need to read letters from people bitching at other people in response to the letters they wrote to other people bitching at people in response to people who wrote letters to other people bitching, ad nauseam? Leo certainly has you covered. In addition there are also many well written and thought-provoking stories regarding, well, pretty much anything Louisville or KY related. And let's not forget the real reason we Louisvillians and Southern Indianans, (them dang Hoosiers), pick this up each and every week, News of the Weird and Savage Love columns! A great way to show out of staters that not all of KY is the stereotypical toothless redneck hicks the rest of the country seems to think we are. And yes, please notice I said not all of KY. Anyway it's free. Why the hell would you not pick it up? Makes for a great morning read while eating your Fruity Pebbles anyway. read more
