They take enough time to do a proper job and provide excellent customer service. This is a small post office. It's so small I didn't want to take pictures of the area because it was cramped with just five people on the waiting. What it lacks in space it makes up for in customer service. The gentleman in front of me was lost. The young woman working with him even though he didn't make a purchase. She used her data and looked up directions with a map on her phone. She was just as kind and helpful to me. There was a discrepancy between about the destination I was given and the one in the system of my package. She confirmed the address was correct. Quite happy with exchange.

It's been a while since I visited the library. I was looking for some specific DVD's to watch so we…read morewent there today. I walked in and was amazed at how much things have improved. They have a separate and special place for teens to come and enjoy the resources and quiet. There is also an area that is a work shop where they teach classes on computers and/or offer extracurricular activities. There are separate areas where you can curl up and just enjoy a book or rest in quiet. The place is so clean you could almost eat off the floor. A resident can be proud of what the county offers here.

I forget about the library. I get all caught up in the tactile overload of Barnes & Nobles (pretty…read morestationary! coffee! flashy book covers!) and the book snob in me LOVES judging a book by it's cover - then bringing it home to keep forever and ever. And read once. Maybe lend out a time or two. Haul it around in a box from one stop in life to another. Then sell in a garage sale decades down the road for 50 cents. My budget and my brain don't always agree with one another. So when I don't have pocket money for flashy book covers and coffee I home brew my own and head over to the OC main public library. Where they've got not just books but CDs and magazines to rent. Where they'll hunt down a book and get it in within days if it's not sitting on the shelf (or, in a rare instance, even purchase a brand new book just for me). And it's all free, minus the late fees that I accrue like it's going out of style. But trust me, six months of racking up late fees MAYBE equals 2 fancy B&N coffees, so I think I'm still ahead. If you haven't been to your local library lately - go. Try it out. The more we patronize these services the better they'll be. Your wallet will give you a big thumbs up too, it's a win/win.

Today I went on a prison tour with Students from the Kentucky Innocence project (KIP). Walking through the gate means that everything on you will be searched, thankfully not strip searched. There are metal detectors and I was patted down to make sure I wasn't packing weapons or drugs. (Seriously, don't bring that stuff to a prison, you will end up in prison) We were told the original KSR was located in Frankfort, but it flooded and was moved to LaGrange in 1930. We got a chance to look at cell block A, the psych unit, segregation, medical unit and the dog program unit. As you can imagine, the dog unit was a favorite for everyone on the tour. The dogs are trained up for a couple weeks, then are available for adoption through the Oldham County Humane Society. They are well behaved & cute--the dogs, not the tenants. Like most prisons, this place is best just to visit and not for an extended stay. This place still isn't a Hilton so it loses a star.

The historic Oldham County Courthouse has stood as the centerpiece of LaGrange for nearly 200…read moreyears. As the 2nd oldest courthouse in Kentucky, it has served the community in many ways! The people of Oldham County fought hard to preserve this historic piece of history. Recently, the State of Kentucky approved $29 Million dollars to be used to renovate. Work has started on this project and projected to be completed in 2024. From WEHR Construction:The Oldham County Courthouse is a very complex and unique project. This project will consist of preserving, remodeling, and adding to the 6,355 square foot original courthouse. The 900-ton historic structure was originally constructed in 1828, making it the second oldest courthouse in the state of Kentucky. With experience, knowledge, and coordination, Edwards Moving & Rigging will be relocating the historic building to accommodate the 47,620 square foot addition. Considering the time and patience needed to successfully execute a project of this nature, the new Oldham County Judicial Center will be completed in August of 2024.
