LEX 18 reports the Lexington Children’s Museum received $5.8 million from the Kentucky General Assembly for a new facility. The museum had reportedly outgrown its current space badly enough to turn away 50 field trips last year.

The interesting part is not only the number of concerts, but the possibility that this turns Gatton Park into a recurring summer gathering space for the city. This is an inference based on the event scale and venue setup.

#Kentucky - #CatholicActionCenter opens #WarmingShelter for #homeless ahead of #WinterStorm

#MotherTeresaShelter provides refuge for single, #unhoused individuals

By WKYT News Staff and Alyssa Williams
Published: Jan. 24, 2026

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - "With bitterly cold temperatures hitting Kentucky, community advocates are working to ensure those living on the streets have a warm place to go.

"The Catholic Action Center has opened an impromptu warming shelter for single, unhoused individuals who need somewhere to go ahead of the winter storm.

"Ginny Ramsey with the Catholic Action Center said the space is the Mother Teresa Shelter, which is located toward the back of the Catholic Action Center on Goodwin Drive.

"She said this part of the building hasn’t been serving a purpose recently, so Thursday, she and other Catholic Action Center members wanted to provide this service.

Cold weather already causing injuries

"The Catholic Action Center placed several unhoused people in hotels, but Ramsey said she knows it’s impossible to get everyone taken care of.

"Ramsey said she believes this is the city’s only #WarmingShelter open for those who are currently homeless, and she’s hopeful that word will get out about it because she worries what will happen if people are out on the streets much longer.

" 'We have found so many people this week who already have damage from the cold. Some of them have already been pretty — we’ve had to take some to the hospital. We’ve had to bring some to get them warmed up, we know the damage going on out there,' Ramsey said.

"The warming shelter opened at noon Saturday and will be open until noon Tuesday."

We said a bittersweet goodbye to the #Fosterkittens today as they're ready to be fixed and adopted.

This litter was somewhat special. They had really bad upper respiratory and required bottle feeding for much of their time with us. We grew especially attached to Mr. Mayor (center), who has an unusually exuberant personality.

They'll be up for adoption soon at #LexingtonKY Humane Society: https://lexingtonhumanesociety.org/

Scroll up to see their progress since September!

Not sure how many people I know on here in #LexingtonKY , but worth a shot.

Found cat on Laredo Dr. Very friendly cat (no collar, I *think* they are declawed, they even let me rub their belly) showed up today, meowing like crazy.

We don't really have any means to take them in our house. I've texted Paws4TheCause to see if they can take the cat, and Lexington Animal Care and Control is not open on Sundays.

You can DM me if you think this is your cat, or are able to take them.

The struggle is real: trying to be productive while scrolling through TikTok in my dorm. 😅 Who else can relate?

I see what Lexington is trying to do: provide bike/ped infrastructure as long as it doesn't inconvenience drivers in any way. So they've got nice wide downtown walking places next to three lanes of one-way traffic going 40 miles an hour. It's sad because they must have some political will for bike/ped, but all the cars makes downtown very uncomfortable. #LexingtonKY #UrbanPlanning

#introduction

Hello again Mastodon! I had my own self hosted version and lost everything so now I'm back and decided to use mastodon.social.

I am a #Freeathinking #humanist and #atheist. I have 3 perfect boys and an amazing wife. I have a passion for #tech #selfhosting and watching great #tv. Some of my favorite shows are #siliconvalley #thebigbangtheory #friends #entourage #scrubs and #rickandmorty.

I am also the Co-Owner of Fusion Development, a tech company based in #lexingtonky.

Robert, John, and Ben from Apples in Stereo (plus the amazing Robert Beatty) had a side project called Ulysses in 2004 and put out an album called 010 that is a favorite of mine. If you can ever find and listen, it's pretty great. Also personally they are among the coolest, kindest people I have ever met. #theapplesinstereo #LexingtonKY #dreamwishes

Lexington, Kentucky has surprisingly existent and decent bike infrastructure! Several miles of separated cycle tracks, and lots of painted lanes. I had admittedly low expectations and they were heartily exceeded! Good job, #LexingtonKY

Attached photo I snapped in a two-way cycle track whilst waiting for a freight train to pass.

When a 78 MPH straight line wind storm hits a 100 year old leafy neighborhood, things get shitty fast. #lexky #lexingtonky #windstorm #pinoak (and this was WITHOUT leaves on the tree.) Lexington lost hundreds of trees in this storm. Insanity.

Looking forward to going to the #wfmu marathon this year in March. Driving from #LexingtonKY to #JerseyCity. Gonna see friends, be live on the air, do a show at Monty Hall. There's a strong connection between Kentucky and wfmu, too. Volunteers do pilgrimages there from all over the globe.
