Shepherdsville, KY

If you live in Shepherdsville and would like to recycle, there are a couple of different ways to go about it.

1. The easist and most convenient is to call Eco-Tech (935-1130) and have them pick it up at the curb. They charge $5.00 / month for this service.
2. Alternatively, you can take everything to the 'recycling center' on South Preston beside the stockyards. There is no cost and you do not have to separate anything.

With a little more effort, you can give your aluminum cans to a worthy cause such as the youth program at Divine Savior Lutheran Church. We keep 2 recycled-plastic bins in our garage. Aluminum cans go in one and plastic/metal/glass containers go in the other. Once every couple of weeks, we drop the cans off at the church and take everything else to the recycling center.

If you are not recycling, check out these stats from the National Recycling Coalition.

• We throw away enough aluminum to rebuild our entire commercial fleet of airplanes every 3 months.
• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for 3 hours and the average person goes through 25,000 cans in their lifetime.
• Glass can be recycled an infinite number of times.
• Recycling creates 6 times as many jobs as tossing something in a landfill.

This is just a snippet of the benefits that recycling provides. You can check out their Top 10 Reasons to Recycle to learn more.

As the weather turns colder, certain foods become more appealing. One of my favorite cold-weather dinners is chili. My wife makes killer chili and I love to top it with shredded cheese and corn chips. While the cheese is optional, the Fritos are not. She gave up questioning this years ago and now includes corn chips on the grocery list just assuredly as she does hamburger.

For whatever reason, today was the exception. She called stating that she forgot to get Fritos at the store and asked that I grab some on my way home. As a result of the detour, I ended up leaving Kroger as the sun was setting. I pulled over at the Shepherdsville Post Office and took the following picture. The one at the top was taken in Mallard Lakes. I've never really thought that I would like a pond right behind my house, but after taking this I can see how some people would.

Anyway, back to the chili....

After almost 2 years, the remnants of the train wreck between Shepherdsville and Brooks have finally been cleaned-up. The 8' high green fence that bordered 1020 is down and the cars have been removed. Like many, I drive that road virtually every day and had grown so accustomed to seeing the wreckage that I was wondering whether CSX was going to create some sort of museum on the spot. I'm fairly certain that I have never been so pleased to see an empty lot as I was last week.

The train is gone, but evidence of the fire still exists.

One more step towards normalcy for those who were most affected.

Lotus Pointe is a secluded subdivision offering beautiful homes on large lots. Most of these 3-5 acre lots are wooded and provide a park-like setting. In fact, very little separates this neighborhood from Bernheim Forest. Seeing deer, turkeys, etc from your deck is common. If you like country settings, make sure you check out this these Shepherdsville homes.

Luxury homes in Lotus Pointe have 4-5 Bedrooms and 2 1/2-3. Since the lots are so large, these homes typically have fewer custom amenities than similar priced homes in St Andrews Crossing or Heritage Hills. However, fireplaces, whirlpool tubs and hardwood floors are common. These 1800-3200 SqFt homes also have large bedrooms, formal dining rooms, open floor plans and basements.

Based on the number of homes, this is a relatively small community. Only about 20 lots exist. Lotus Pointe does not have sidewalks, but considering that it is surrounded by acres and acres of woodlands, there are many better places to walk and play. Underground utilites preserve the scenic views.

Prices on active listings currently range from $335,000-$389,000.
