Listen "Highlands restaurant closes — what should replace it?"
Episode Synopsis
We cover several different topics on the Access Louisville podcast this week. First off, we note that Hopcat, a large bar and restaurant in the Highlands has closed. We discuss ideas for this now open space. And note some restaurants we've lost over the years that we're now sorely missing.After that reporter Marty Finley gives us an update on a redevelopment project involving a 13-story building in Smoketown. Restaurant, retail and apartment uses are planned. And finally we talk about Gov. Andy Beshear's mask mandate. The governor is requiring masks for most people starting on July 10. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. This week's show is hosted by Finley and Design/Multimedia Editor Brooke Timmons and Digital Editor David A. Mann.
