The Martin Luther King Neighborhood, bordered by Elm Tree Lane, Short, Sixth, and North Limestone Streets, is a neighborhood full of history located in the eastern part of downtown Lexington.  

The highlight of the neighborhood is the recently renovated Lyric Theater.  Located at the corner of Third and Deweese Streets, the Lyric originally opened as a movie house in 1948.  During the 1950’s though, the movie house moved more towards musical acts such as the legendary B.B. King, Cab Calloway, and Ella Fitzgerald.  The Lyric’s decline began with the integration of Lexington’s other theaters and eventually closed in 1963.  In October 2010, the Lyric reopened and is now host to a variety of community events (http://www.lexingtonlyric.com/category/events…

I’m sure you’ve seen them….the signs all over downtown that say “Food Grown Here.”  As people have become more and more concerned about where their food is coming from and what it’s been treated with, more and more people have decided to grow their own food.  But, urban homesteading is much more than that.  Chicken coops are popping up all over downtown – there are three in my neighborhood!  Beekeeping is even coming back into fashion as well as canning and preserving the harvest so that all that yummy produce you enjoyed all summer can be enjoyed through the winter as well.  

A common misconception is that you have to have a lot of space to do all this gardening and chicken keeping, but it’s simply not true.  I have a 10 foot x 4 foot garden bed…

McConnell’s Trace is a neighborhood located at the northwest end of Fayette County, off Leestown Road.  The area was originally a grove of bur oak trees along Town Branch Creek. 

Developer, Dennis Anderson, donated 17 of the 230 development acres to the city for use as a city park.  He also left a 7 acre green way relatively untouched for a natural cane break and bur oak grove.  A greenway path surrounds the neighborhood with two natural space peninsulas extending in to the neighborhood to provide common areas for children and neighbors a common space for socializing.  The trail has become part of the larger Town Branch Trail System, providing safe walking and biking links to many areas of Lexington.  

Don’t let the neighborhood’s large amounts of…
