Rona talks about the exhibit as well as her experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer from 1973 to 1975. We also have updates on a number of other museum happenings coming this fall.

Voting Matters, the podcast collaboration between the Lexington Chapter of the League of Women Voters and WUKY, is back with this conversation with Gilda Walters and Susan Lamb. The Fayette County Clerk's office is busy preparing for the November general election and they're looking to recruit poll workers. They also take the opportunity to 'bust some myths' surrounding ballot security.

Mayor Linda Gorton will be on hand to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of an area of town that's come to be known as the Warehouse Block, a commercial and entertainment district around Walton and National Avenue that continues to grow and diversify. Major tenants include Mirror Twin, Blue Door Smokehouse, Eppings, Sav's Chill, and more than 30 others. WUKY talks One on One with Warehouse Block spokesman Chad Walker of Walker Properties. In August of 1986 Chad's father bought a rundown building in an abandoned corner of Lexington. Little did he know what would literally develop 40 years later.
