It’s a Girl! The Newest Member of the Louisville Zoo’s Family
It’s a girl! The first baby gorilla born in North America this year was at the Louisville Zoo. The adorable bouncing baby is a girl. She was born February 6, 2010, to Louisville Zoo’s 20-year-old western lowland gorilla Mia Moja. While the baby continues to cling tightly to mom nearly all the time, ZooKeepers have been able to get several close looks to determine and verify the baby is a girl. A naming contest for the baby is being planned and I'll post more about the contest when I get more information. Below is an excerpt from the Louisville Zoo's press release: “I’m excited, either ...
Marty Pollio: Hilarious Louisville Comedian
Michael and I went to the beautiful Lake Barkley Lodge last night for the Lake Barkley State Resort Park Presents Comedy Dinner Theater featuring Marty Pollio. The food was delicious and the laughs were constant. Marty Pollio is a tremendously talented Louisville comedian. You can read more about him in my previous post and learn even more by visiting his website. In fact, I insist that you visit Marty Pollio's website. Not only is he a total riot - he apparently shares one of my own great passions: cooking! He has tons of delicious-sounding recipes on his website. I've actually been ...
Patsy Cline is Back in Grand Rivers Kentucky!

Show Christmas Spectacular The Greater Tuna Shows (only for people who want to laugh so much their sides ache) The Variety! Music, Memories & More Show It's a Wonderful ...
An Ode to George Clooney by a Fellow Kentuckian and Fan
A few of my favorite actors are Johnny Depp and George Clooney - they would be EVEN if they weren't born in Kentucky, but I do love that little fact. I got an e-mail a few days ago from a woman who currently lives in Manhattan but was born in Clay County (Manchester) and raised in Butler, Kentucky. Her name is Lisa Ashe and she's apparently a George Clooney fan as well. She passed along this video she'd like to share with the readers of Genuine Kentucky and I'm SO glad she did - it's a lot of fun! ...

Fresh New Restaurant Bee Bops Into Owensboro Kentucky
In between football games yesterday I read the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer. There was a story that especially caught my eye (and stomach). A retro ’50s diner is coming to downtown Owensboro and plans to open in time for Barbecue Fest (May 7-8). Is anything cooler than ’50s decor or the type of delicious food served in these types of diners?! There’s a real buzz of excitement... [Read more]
Lake Barkley Lodge’s Amazing Windows on the Water Restaurant
As you know, we absolutely love Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Grand Rivers, Aurora, the Willow Pond restaurants and all things that fall under the heading Land Between the Lakes. (Especially when they fall under the heading and answer to the name catfish.) A while back, I wrote a review about the Aurora Landing Restaurant at Kenlake Lodge. Everything about it was beyond spectacular and I couldn’t... [Read more]

Foxy’s Barbecue Restaurant in Madisonville Kentucky: Delicious, Delectable, and Delovely

We currently live in Owensboro Kentucky and have for some time. We frequently visit Madisonville – the place, in the words of Montgomery Gentry, “Where I... [Read more]
