Today I enjoyed a great lunch with my Lexington Realtor buddy Whitney Pannell and University of Kentucky basketball legend Tom Heitz. We ate at the famous Wheeler's Pharmacy in Lexington, Kentucky on Romany Road in the heart of the Chevy Chase. Word on the street is that every Kentucky coach since Adolph Rupp eats at Wheeler's after a Kentucky basketball victory. Even current Coach John Calipari eats at Wheeler's following every UK win. Tom visited with us and we reminisced about his playing days for the Kentucky Wildcats. He has many funny stories from his playing days and it was a blast getting to hang with him and Whitney for lunch. After lunch, Tom was headed over to the Joe Craft Center, the practice facility, to see the Kentucky team suit up for practice before tomorrow's big SEC showdown against Vanderbilt. Definitely a great day and if you get a chance, go visit Wheeler's for lunch! You'll love this little Lexington hotspot. Never know who you might see!

The statue of John C. Breckinridge as seen below stands proudly in Lexington’s Cheapside Park in the heart of downtown. It has stood on Cheapside for well over a century, but will be moved in the next two week, as the park is undergoing a renovation. Breckinridge was a United States Vice-President and also served in the U.S. Senate before joining the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Fifth Third Bank donated $750,000 for naming rights for the new pavilion to be constructed, which will house Lexington’s Farmer’s Market on Saturdays, the very popular Thursday Night Live concert gathering and many other events. Cheapside Park is a great gathering spot in downtown Lexington. It is a great place to have lunch outside on a warm day. The Courtyard Deli, Cheapside Bar and Grill and Bluegrass Tavern are great spots to visit. I personally love hitting the Cheapside patio for lunch on a warm summer day. There is nothing better than enjoying a great lunch with friends while being able to take in all the sights and sounds of downtown Lexington. You get a real sense of the city! And the Thursday Night Live concerts are truly one of my favorite summer time events!
And don’t worry; our Breckinridge statue will not be gone forever. He is being moved about 50 feet to the Main Street side of the park and will face the street.
So if you’re downtown visit Cheapside Park and enjoy the best park in the middle of downtown Lexington, Kentucky!

Big Blue Nation united together yesterday to help out Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari and members of the team raise 1 million dollars in just 4 short hours during its Hoops for Haiti campaign. The money raised will go to the American Red Cross for the people of Haiti. It was a great day in Lexington community and it was truly wonderful to see the community and fans pull together during this time of need. Coach Calipari, whose Kentucky team is 18-0, told his team to be humble when things are going good. Calipari hosted the event and the Kentucky players manned the phones during the live TV telecast.
Calipari pulled together the telethon in less than two days and reached out to several Lexington community leaders and agencies for help. Celebrities including movie star and Kentucky super fan Ashley Judd, Minnesota basketball Coach Tubby Smith, and sports announcer Dick Vitale were just a few of the celebrates to donate to the cause.
It truly was a heartwarming day here and it was amazing to see how the Lexington and Central Kentucky communities can come together in order to help our world dealing with a horrible tragedy. What a great day to be a Lexington resident and a Kentuckian!

Brrr! Winter has officially hit here in the Lexington Kentucky real estate market. You definitely can feel those colder temps the minute you walk out your front door. But before it gets bone chilling cold here in Lexington, spend a few minutes walking around your house to troubleshot and winterize your home to prevent future cold weather related issues. Here are 6 ways from Kim Soper, your Lexington KY Realtor on how to winterize your home:
1. Remove all garden hoses and water equipment from all of the outside faucets to help prevent frozen spickets, pipes and possible water damage to your home.
2. Have your furnace checked and serviced prior to heavy use. It is extremely important to change or clean your filters every 3 months to receive maximum performance from your heating system. If you live in a new construction area where homes are still under construction, it is recommended you change your filter every month.
3. Close up crawl space vents during the winter. This cuts down on drafts and helps keep pipes from freezing.
4. Check attic insulation for settling or movement.
5. Adjust all door thresholds to prevent air leakage.
6. If you are away from home during extended periods of time, it is recommended to keep your thermostat set at 68-70 degrees. Turn off your main water values and check your sump pump to assure it is working correctly.
Remember we’re in Lexington, KY and the famous joke about Kentucky weather is if you don’t like it, it will change in 5 minutes. That is so true! So just remember when you finally think those cold temps are behind us, they can sneak right back up. Always strive to maintain your beautiful Lexington, KY home year around and you will be A-ok!
