Springtime Central Kentucky Tour With Relocation Clients

There are many places to stay for your brief trip but to really enjoy Richmond in a historical way, I recommend The Bennett House Bed & Breakfast downtown. If you are looking for something trendier there are many new hotels on exit 87 off I-75.

One thing we send new Bechtel Parsons employees is a welcome packet filled with local information and maps of the area.

We can tailor this with more specific items if you let me know some of your interests.

Richmond is really a fabulous place in the heart of KY. Lots of new shopping and restaurants and convenient to everything on I-75 with 7 exits in Madison County!

If you are looking for homes for sale, we can send the listings to you to review as soon as they are listed on the MLS.

Need a local lender? Not a problem...we can assist you with one that can help you get your financing together for a successful closing on a new home.

KOTO Japanese Bistro Richmond Centre Richmond KY

At last...KOTO Japanese Bistro has arrived! All of us in Richmond KY have been driving by the building in the Richmond Centre for months with our mouths watering just waiting for the grand opening.

About the name:

The koto (琴 or 箏) is a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument
derived from the Chinese guzheng. The koto is the national instrument of Japan.

I was honored to be one of the first guests to sample the food a day before the Grand Opening.

I headed over with a BFF(Dee) and was warmly welcomed by Charlie the General Manager and the staff including Tony the Bar Manager and Sasha. KOTO is owned by Mr. Dong, this is his second restaurant in KY. The first, Asian Royal is located in Georgetown KY.

The elegant decor is warm with lots of wood and tall back leather chairs. Attention to detail is evident everywhere. There is a large fountain at the front door and the bar is to the right.

One of the highlights and there are many would be that Richmond KY will finally have a first class sushi bar.

Equally amazing is the heated hibachi grill at the tables where food is prepared fresh.

The key ingredients are the meats, seafood, rice noodles and vegetables. The sauces are meant to enhance the flavor of foods, not over power them.

Enjoy a dining experience where each dish is prepared to order on smokeless hibachi tables and presented with artistic flair, right before you!

Our chef Joe at KOTO Japanese Bistro was trained I think in New York City and was one of the best entertainers I have seen at hibachi grills and I have eaten at quite a few all over the USA. His real home is in Laguna beach.

It was a blast watching him expertly prepare our food and serve it up.

Joe wouldn't miss a beat even if we commented on his style or to each other. Amazing concentration!

I think he super-sized our meals because there was so much food I had plenty for lunch today. It was good heated up again too!

My next dining adventure at KOTO will have to be the sushi bar. I have really missed having one close by. I'll have to do another review once I sample sushi.

It's nice to have so many new and good restaurants now in the Richmond Centre. Business is booming in Richmond KY and not a moment too soon!

Jerzees Cocktail Lounge - Comedy Club Richmond KY

I had the pleasure of checking out the grand opening of a new cocktail lounge in Richmond KY called Jerzees. Not only is it a lounge, but the night I was invited there...there was a comedy club act also.

As far as I can remember, there has never been a comedy club in Richmond KY. It's about time! Awesome idea!

Back in the 60's this downtown building was an A&P store on 122 Main Street. It's located about a block west of the court house.

The layout and decor is perfect for a cocktail lounge. Justin Waggoner and Bryson Alford have put together the perfect combination of talent and creativity to launch Jerzees.

Jerzees is a cocktail lounge that is great for all types of patrons. There was a blend of all ages the night I was there for the comedy club debut.

Wednesday nights are country/ western night with live entertainment. Check out the pool tables too for a chance to practice your skills.

The next comedy club date will be Aug. 28th.

Buy tickets and reserve your table online.

Jerzees is closed on Sun - Tues.

OPEN: Wed -Sat 8PM - 1AM.

Check out Jerzees website.

Chick-Fil-A Richmond Centre Richmond Ky Grand Opening

Richmond KY finally has a Chick-Fil-A in the Richmond Centre! I happened to drive by the night before the grand openingand witnessed all the hoopla.

The Chick-Fil-A parking lot was wall to wall with tents filled with prospective customers that wanted to be one in a hundred that would be fed a free meal once a week for a year. To do this you have to be in line before they open the door at 6:30 AM.

So devoted fans pitch a tent, armed with sleeping bags, tents, blankets, games, ipods and books and wait it out. Many Richmond KY fans were right in the mix will the die hard fans that follow every Chick-Fil-A grand opening across the USA.

They battle the elements to be in line. I think this group got rained on in the early morning hours. When I stopped by, they were dancing the Hokey Pokey being led by the Chick-Fil-A cow.

I loved the vehicle in the lot that said, "Eat more chickin". I snapped a pic of the back end.

My Mom is a huge fan of Chick-Fil-A but she didn't plan on sitting in a tent all night for the grand opening. She'll pick up her chickin the easy way at the drive thru!

It sure is nice to have a few good places to go to in Richmond Centre. I think the next ones will be Olive Garden and Panara Bread.

Richmond KY is really starting to expand on exit 87 off I-75. To have the Richmond Centre nearby to housing will be easy to walk to shopping, theaters and restaurants.

The grand opening of the Chick-Fil-A in Richmond KY is a welcome addition! YUM!

Chick-Fil-A Richmond Centre Richmond Ky Grand Opening

Paddy Wagon Irish Pub Richmond Kentucky is the place to have fun.

Third time is charm for the owners, Greg Ferrell and Chuck Fields.

Established in 2004 on Water Street...then Paddy Wagon Irish Pub moved to Main Street in 2006 for a year a few doors up from the new location still in Richmond KY.

Then suddenly it burned to the ground in the middle of the night.

The famous fire is still one of Richmond KY's unexplained mysteries.

Fire investigators scratched their heads in puzzlement as to the cause.

"Hmmmm...It could be this...or could be that." Who really knows what caused Paddy Wagon Irish Pub to burn to the ground. Or do fires burn up? Whatever the case... it has remained a mystery in Richmond KY.

All that was saved that fateful night from the pub was an Irish clock, 1 sign and a few police patches.

Both Greg and Chuck teach criminal justice at EKU so the patches were a collection of police patches that patrons donated when they visited Paddy Wagon.

I've been in bars that have unique collections of $1 bills(Tortilla Flat, AZ), neckties(Carefree, AZ) and bras(Key West).

The idea for the Irish pub came from a trip to Ireland when they toured the Guinness Factory, Dublin and to the north...Belfast. Armed with information and local souvenirs Chuck came up with the décor for the inside of Paddy Wagon Irish Pub.

The name of the pub has to do with criminal justice. Maybe Irish justice?

Now open since June 26, 2008 with a plethora of beer and ale for anyone's tastes or mood. The food is great...I had a generous helping of the fish and chips and the service was spot on.

There is a friendly atmosphere inside Paddy Wagon Irish Pub and plenty of room to park outside. Sip your beer on an outdoor deck and enjoy a Richmond KY downtown view.

Live band entertainment is on Friday and Saturday. Thursdays will be added when school starts. Monday is open mike.

Hours are 11 - 1PM Monday - Friday. Saturdays 12 - 1PM.

For more information call 859-625-1054
