How important is a proposed $250M development around Louisville Slugger Field? We chat about that on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Reporter Joel Stinnett initially reported on this project, on Dec. 2. and is on this week's show to share a few insights and details about it.The Louisville Sports Entertainment District would be a 500,000-square-foot mix of housing, retail, hospitality and entertainment atop of what now is a city-owned parking lot east of the baseball stadium. The more than $250 million public-private partnership would include Louisville Bats owner Diamond Baseball Holdings, which bought the club last year, and Houston-based real estate firm Machete Group. The city is working with the two groups on a development agreement.Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said the proposed development is in the “very early stages” so it is not clear how much of the $250 million investment would be provided by the city. However, the project would require incentives, he said, including the possible creation of a Tax Increment Finance district.We also chat about an O.G. punk rocker, Dean Thomas, drummer for the Los Angeles rockabilly group Levi And The Rockats in the late 1970s, who's opened an art gallery on Main Street. Dean Thomas Fine Art Painting opened Dec. 8 at 635 W. Main St. in Downtown Louisville. Reporter Michael L. Jones talked to Thomas about his careers in both music and art, which he wrote a story on here and explains on the show. Jones also tells us about a new restaurant he recently reported on, which, oddly enough, is opening inside a gun range. Brass Social, at 11800 Electron Dr. opened Friday, Nov. 29, in the Next Level Ranges development in Jeffersontown, which also includes gun ranges and a pro shop.Brandon Mitchell, co-owner of Brass Social, said the new restaurant serves what he likes to call elevated bar food with locally-sourced ingredients. His partners in Brass Social, James and Jennifer Naive, own a farm in Spencer County, Double J Beef, that supplies the restaurant's beef. The restaurant also gets beef from Ridge Creek Farm in Spencer County.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, April 11th, 2023. Let’s get straight to the news. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/10/us/louisville-kentucky-shooting.html 5 Dead and 8 Injured in Shooting in Louisville, Ky., Police Say At least five people were killed and eight others were injured in a shooting at a bank in downtown Louisville, Ky., on Monday morning, the police said. The suspected gunman died at the scene. Paul Humphrey, the deputy chief of the Louisville Metro Police Department, said that the police received calls around 8:30 a.m. about a shooting at Old National Bank and when they arrived on the scene, “they encountered the suspect almost immediately, still firing gunshots.” Chief Humphrey said that the gunman, whose name was not immediately released, was confirmed dead at the scene. “We do not know exactly the circumstances of his death at this time,” he said. It was not immediately clear if the gunman was included among the five dead. The police did not give a motive for the shooting, but they said that the gunman had a connection to the bank and may have been a current or former employee. “We believe this is a lone gunman involved in this that did have a connection to the bank,” Chief Humphrey said at a news conference. Five people were killed inside the bank, the deputy chief said, and at least eight people, including a police officer, were taken to a nearby hospital. He said that two people were in critical condition, including a police officer who was in surgery on Monday morning. “There is no active danger known to the public at this time,” Chief Humphrey said. The bank is across the street from Louisville Slugger Field, a minor-league baseball stadium where the Louisville Bats play. The area includes many hotels and apartment complexes. The University of Louisville Hospital received nine patients, including two police officers, from the shooting, a spokeswoman, Heather Fountaine, said in an email. She said at least three of the patients had been discharged by early Monday afternoon. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear spoke on the tragedy. Kentucky Gov. Beshear: 'I have a very close friend who didn't make it today'- Play Video The Police Department was still investigating the shooting at the bank when one man was fatally shot and another person was injured in a shooting later on Monday morning outside Jefferson Community and Technical College, less than two miles from the bank. It was not immediately clear what led to that shooting, but the police said that the two shootings were not connected. The college’s technical campus was still on lockdown midday Monday, and the school closed all of its campuses and canceled classes “out of reverence for those involved in shootings that have occurred today,” it said. https://www.foxnews.com/world/taiwan-warns-chinese-misstep-could-lead-uncontrollable-world-war-outbreak Taiwan warns Chinese misstep could lead to 'uncontrollable' world war outbreak Taiwan is sounding alarms over Chinese military drills that it says could mistakenly spark an "uncontrollable war" that would draw in countries from around the world. "The Chinese military exercises this couple of days have been very serious," Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told Fox News Sunday. "If you look at the sorties of the Chinese air force, together with the ships, they're coming very close to Taiwan. And any accident might spark an uncontrollable war in between Taiwan and China. And if other countries are trying to intervene, it might be the start of a war of great scale." The comments come as large scale Chinese military drills entered their third day Monday, with the Chinese military declaring that it is "ready to fight" if Taiwan were to attempt to declare its independence from the mainland. "The theater’s troops are ready to fight at all times and can fight at any time to resolutely smash any form of ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference attempts," the military said Monday, according to The Associated Press. The drills China has run played out similarly to those the country conducted in August after Taiwan received a visit from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., this time coming on the heels of a meeting between Taiwanese officials and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Like the previous incident in August, multiple warships and planes have reportedly crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which for decades was understood by both sides as a boundary that military forces should not cross for fear of escalating to war. But China has disregarded the boundary in more recent military drills, insisting the line is "imaginary" in nature. Wu warned that the recent drills have shown that the Chinese threat to the independently governed island have continued to increase, arguing that it will be crucial for the U.S. to continue to show support for Taiwan as a way to deter aggression from the mainland. https://www.theblaze.com/news/social-media-federal-agency-hiring Social media and big tech companies have hired hundreds from federal agencies, including CIA and FBI Tech companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Twitter hired nearly 250 employees from federal law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the CIA, according to an investigation by the Daily Caller. Silicon Valley and tech companies have recruited 248 employees from the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, and FBI, according to the report. Several of the employees fill top roles at the companies after having held positions in government agencies for more than two decades in many cases. Much of the hiring came between 2017 and 2022. Google alone hired 130 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, and FBI employees. Meta hired 47. Even Chinese-owned TikTok has employed 25 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, or FBI employees. The report states that Twitter directly recruited several employees of the FBI who had worked for the agency for over 20 years. An “embedded security manager" worked for Twitter for 10 months after working 22 years in the FBI, but he now works for Chevron. A “senior security manager" for Twitter also had a 22-year career with the FBI. Twitter's director of information security for the insider threat program was an FBI employee of 23 years. Additionally, the tech company's corporate security manager and crisis manager had 25 and 23 years respectively of experience at the federal agency. Other job titles at Twitter with FBI backgrounds include “senior director,” “security specialist,” “director of corporate security/ risk,” and “director of corporate resilience.” Google, Meta, TikTok, and the former FBI employees mentioned in the report either did not respond to inquiries from the Daily Caller or declined to comment. Twitter reportedly responded with a poo emoji, which is standard practice for the company. Twitter CEO Elon Musk is fighting battles on many fronts recently, with varying degrees of success. Musk is battling media credibility claims after labeling National Public Radio as "state-affiliated media," before eventually adjusting the label to "government funded media," the same annotation given to outlet BBC. At the same time, Musk temporarily changed the Twitter logo on the website to the "doge," a widely used cartoon image of the dog breed Shiba Inu. As well, in late March 2023, Musk and 1,000 others from the tech industry urged a pause in the development of artificial intelligence due to "profound risks to society and humanity."

But China has disregarded the boundary in more recent military drills, insisting the line is "imaginary" in nature. Wu warned that the recent drills have shown that the Chinese threat to the independently governed island have continued to increase, arguing that it will be crucial for the U.S. to continue to show support for Taiwan as a way to deter aggression from the mainland. https://www.theblaze.com/news/social-media-federal-agency-hiring Social media and big tech companies have hired hundreds from federal agencies, including CIA and FBI Tech companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Twitter hired nearly 250 employees from federal law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the CIA, according to an investigation by the Daily Caller. Silicon Valley and tech companies have recruited 248 employees from the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, and FBI, according to the report. Several of the employees fill top roles at the companies after having held positions in government agencies for more than two decades in many cases. Much of the hiring came between 2017 and 2022. Google alone hired 130 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, and FBI employees. Meta hired 47. Even Chinese-owned TikTok has employed 25 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, or FBI employees. The report states that Twitter directly recruited several employees of the FBI who had worked for the agency for over 20 years. An “embedded security manager" worked for Twitter for 10 months after working 22 years in the FBI, but he now works for Chevron. A “senior security manager" for Twitter also had a 22-year career with the FBI. Twitter's director of information security for the insider threat program was an FBI employee of 23 years. Additionally, the tech company's corporate security manager and crisis manager had 25 and 23 years respectively of experience at the federal agency. Other job titles at Twitter with FBI backgrounds include “senior director,” “security specialist,” “director of corporate security/ risk,” and “director of corporate resilience.” Google, Meta, TikTok, and the former FBI employees mentioned in the report either did not respond to inquiries from the Daily Caller or declined to comment. Twitter reportedly responded with a poo emoji, which is standard practice for the company. Twitter CEO Elon Musk is fighting battles on many fronts recently, with varying degrees of success. Musk is battling media credibility claims after labeling National Public Radio as "state-affiliated media," before eventually adjusting the label to "government funded media," the same annotation given to outlet BBC. At the same time, Musk temporarily changed the Twitter logo on the website to the "doge," a widely used cartoon image of the dog breed Shiba Inu. As well, in late March 2023, Musk and 1,000 others from the tech industry urged a pause in the development of artificial intelligence due to "profound risks to society and humanity." Speaking of social media & marketing… https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/10/viral-video-shows-bud-light-exec-trashing-brands-fratty-and-out-of-touch-marketing/ Viral Video Shows Bud Light Exec Trashing Brand’s ‘Fratty And Out-Of-Touch’ Marketing Recently resurfaced video shows Alissa Heinerscheid, the vice president of marketing at Bud Light, trashing the beer company’s customer base. The video made the rounds after Bud Light partnered with Dylan Mulvaney, sending the transgender TikTok star a beer can with his face on it. Another Bud Light can features a rainbow and the phrase “celebrate everyone’s identity,” with various pronouns printed on the can. Dylan has posted several videos on social media advertising the beer. The advertising campaign sparked massive backlash from the Bud Light’s customers. https://twitter.com/i/status/1645089521980280832 - Play Video Thanks Bud Light… nothing makes me feel more seen than seeing a man pretending to be a woman on your beer cans. The video has been shared by several popular Twitter accounts, and has amassed million of views. Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch defended the partnership in a statement issued on April 3. “Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points,” the spokesperson said. “From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.” Dime Payments Dime Payments is a Christian owned processing payment business.

Over this Easter weekend, my friends and I hosted a fight night. It was UFC 287, which featured numerous fights. Christian Rodriguez defeated the previously undefeated (and 18 year old) Raul Rosas Jr. by unanimous decision. But hey, Kevin Holland defeated Santiago Ponzinibbio by TKO Rob Font defeated Adrian Yanez by TKO Gilbert Burns took down the legend Jorge Masvidal by unanimous decision. Masvidal appeared to have retired after the fight as well, after 20 years of fighting. And then… this happend… PLAY AUDIO CLIP HERE That’s right… the main event featured Alex Pereira, and Israel Adesanya, and Adesanya defeated his boogie man by KO… the background story is Pereira defeated Adesanya in their three previous fights, and Adesanya FINALLY came back and got him over the weekend in his fourth attempt… and for awhile, it looked like Pereira was going to win again, until Adesanya flipped the script, and walked away with the win.

What's luck if you ain't from Kentucky? The founders of Louisville, Kentucky's Against the Grain Brewery got their start because they weren't satisfied with the way beer was being represented in their town.  After a disappointing visit to a local brewpub, whose brewhouse sat unused in a dark and dusty corner, they hunted down the owner and offered to buy the place.  Today, Against the Grain Brewery and Smokehouse is nestled in that spot at Louisville Slugger Field, home to baseball's minor league Louisville Bats. This week, co-owner Sam Cruz joins us to talk about their journey to opening the brewery, how beer names drive recipe creation, and how Japan and Europe are just small steps in their plan for world domination because "Everyone deserves Against the Grain beer." We're also joined by Fish Scales and Skinny Deville of Nappy Roots and Atlantucky Brewing.  If you're a regular listener of Beer Guys Radio you've likely heard us talk beer with the Nappy Roots crew before.  We discuss their collaboration with Against the Grain, Water-Melon Chiquen & Gritz, and how that collaboration is launching new beer adventures for them. Our featured beers this week were all about Against the Grain: Pome and Grabbit | Tart Wheat Ale with ginger and pomegranate London Balling | English-style Barleywine aged in Angel's Envy bourbon barrels (A Beer Guys favorite) Stave it for Later: Maple Bockin’ Pastries | Doppelbock with West Virginia maple syrup Kamen Knuddeln | Kentucky Common In the news this week we discuss a 'raid" on a Georgia homebrew club meeting, additional evidence of the world's oldest beer, and improved brewery laws in Illinois. Make sure to tune in next week as we talk with Athens, Georgia's Monk's Mead.

As well as things went in Portland, they went equally as poorly in Columbus.
