So the @WFPLNews room in downtown Louisville smells like farts today. BUT IT'S NOT JUST US. If you want to learn about the magical world of why Louisville sewer odors follow along. Image
Long stretches without rain dry out the sewers, especially in the older parts of the system known as the combined sewer system that mostly resides within Interstate-264. last September, for example, complaints skyrocketed during conditions similar to what we are seeing now.
September is one of the driest months of the year in Louisville. That, combined with the warm temperatures earlier this month, exacerbate the smell problems across the city. lpm.org/news/2022-09-2…

Here's a thread recap of what 2020 was like for me as a public radio reporter in #Louisville, Kentucky. Let me start by saying it was the most challenging year of my decade-long career in journalism and I at one point covered breaking news in Florida.
I'll mostly skip past the first months of the year when I was a sweet summer child, save to say that misinformation reached a fever pitch in 2020 and stories like this one from January show it was a problem long before the pandemic and the election: wfpl.org/a-decade-of-cl…
I paid close attention to news out of China. By early February I began bringing it up in our daily news meetings. That was back when we had things like office cake. I went to the grocery store to stock up on food and medicine. It never crossed my mind to buy extra toilet paper.

Louisville protesters have maintained a tight formation tonight as they march through downtown ahead of the curfew at 9. A chopper and sirens punctuate the chants of demonstrators.
Uhhh I dont think that’s a protest sign.

Alright it’s Thursday, one night after the AG’a announcement in the Breonna Taylor case and @jess_m_clark and I are headed into downtown Louisville. We’ve heard it’s been pretty quiet today.
National Guard strategically stationed around downtown. Officer on the right carrying a long gun of some kind.
Chris Wells and Carmen Jones telling people to stay safe, protect each other. Jones says the reason protesters is here is Breonna Taylor not to tear up downtown.
