Wired65 has partnered with the Bingham Fellows to bring together regional leaders from a 26-county area in Kentucky and Southern Indiana that spans east and west along the Interstate 65 corridor.

Because of difficult credit markets, Landmark Media Enterprises, LLC announced Thursday that it is suspending the process of selling its remaining businesses, which include the LaRue County Herald News and 18 other Kentucky newspapers.

There’s a lot of history on Lincoln Square.

From the remarkable old buildings to the statues (not one, but two) to Lincoln Days events to just parking and hanging out with friends.

Two polling places have been moved for the general election Nov. 4.

The 636 people who are registered voters in the White City precinct will vote at the LaRue County courthouse in the courtroom, County Clerk Linda Carter said.

Milby’s Store, which has been the polling place for many years, is no longer available, she said. There are no other buildings that are handicapped-accessible in that area.

Hodgenville West, the area that encompasses Lincoln Hills, Tonieville, Carter Brothers Road and Hamilton Acres, will be moved to Hodgenville City Hall.
