LOCAL CULINARY NEWS TO USE

BY SHANNON CLINTON

A

ttention pinball wizards and gaming gurus — Tilty Bob’s is planning a March opening at 319 Cedar St. in Lexington.

“Tilty Bob’s is going to be an arcade bar and restaurant that features about 30 classic arcade games and 30 or so pinball machines,” co-owner Corey Sims said. “We will offer three floors of entertainment. The first floor features a large bar and our dining room with a few games. The second floor features another full bar and games. The third floor will be a smaller bar and more games.”

Sims said the name is a play on a component of the pinball machine known as a “tilt bob” or a “plumb bob,” the mechanism that causes a player to tilt and lose the ball if the game’s cabinet is excessively jarred.

He added that though it’ll have more of a pub vibe, Tilty Bob’s is similar to another of his arcade bars, Recbar, which has locations in Louisville and New Albany, Indiana.

The food menu will have “fun, unique pub grub,” Sims said, with appetizers featuring unique spins on classic apps, including loaded tater tot dishes known as Tilty Tots. Mains include burgers, toasted subs and loaded mac and cheese. Games include pinball machines from different eras like Addams Family, Godzilla, Led Zeppelin, South Park, Spider-Man, Terminator 2, Taxi and Theatre of Magic, along with classic arcade games such as Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong and Frogger.

In other food and beverage news:

The Louisvillebased franchise Biscuit Belly opened its first Lexington location in February on Main Street. The popular eatery serves creative biscuit sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, seven days a week.

PHOTO FURNISHED

Nic & Norman’s is opening a Lexington location. The restaurant is a collaboration between “The Walking Dead” director and special makeup effects artist Greg Nicotero and actor Norman Reedus. The first location opened a few years ago in Senoia, Georgia, where much of the series has been filmed. Its creators opened a second location in Chattanooga and now have their sights set on downtown Lexington.

The Senoia location is filled with photographs taken by Reedus, and its menu includes hints of what Lexington’s location may offer: a menu that includes a variety of soups and salads, brisket nachos, gourmet burgers, gourmet chicken pot pie and more.

The “host kitchen” Fuku began delivery in Lexington via digital restaurant growth network Franklin Station in late January. The restaurant started as

a secret menu item at the New York City-based Momofuku noodle bar and has evolved into a stand-alone venture with a fried chicken-centric menu that includes “chicken sandos,” chicken fingers and waffle fries, among other offerings and sides.

The Lexington delivery-only venture will be the first of more than 50 planned host kitchen locations to open across the United States this year.

The Louisville-based franchise Biscuit Belly has opened its first Lexington location at 652 E. Main St. The menu features biscuit sandwiches, several versions of biscuits and gravy, breakfast items, and a variety of cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.

Parlor Doughnut opened in early February at 630 Euclid Ave. Omakase Sushi & Sake Bar’s new website is up, and it was

listed in February as coming soon to 848 E. High St., in the former Tomo location. Its menu features a variety of sushi rolls and combos, salads, a la carte options including bluefin tuna, eel, Scottish or New Zealand king salmon, among others. Mochi ice cream and crepes round out the dessert menu.

Bayleaf Diaspora Kitchen announced its closure, as chef/owner Etel Wagner has taken another opportunity cooking in a private kitchen. Still, she hints that she may one day offer a subscription service for fans of her food.

“It has been lots of fun creating new menu items weekly, and I really appreciated all your wonderful feedback and support,” she said on the restaurant’s Facebook page. ■ Have a food- or beverage-related update to share with readers?

S

occer is about to become a much bigger sport in Lexington.

In October, the United Soccer League (USL) announced Lexington had been awarded a League One expansion franchise. On the heels of that announcement, Lexington Pro Soccer – the newly formed local professional soccer club – announced plans to create two professional United Soccer League (USL) teams (male and female) and build a new stadium, as well as plans to create leagues for both youth and pre-professional players and training programs for coaches and players, with fields and facilities around the city.

The USL professional teams are sanctioned by the U.S. Soccer Federation, which is a full member of Football Inter Club Association (FICA), the international soccer authority. All of this means Lexington will soon be linked to the international world of soccer.

According to Sam Stockley, the director of sporting for Lexington Pro Soccer, the first step is to build the foundation of the club in the community.

“We want to build something that is going to last well beyond us and will be here in 100 years’ time,” he said. “We want everybody involved and everybody to feel part of it, to support their local team.”

SAM STOCKLEY

Stockley, who played pro soccer for 19 years in England, Canada, Hungary and the United States, made periodic visits to Lexington from his home in Liverpool, England, to meet with the club owners and executives. He and his family moved to Lexington in January, leaving behind his work with coach education programs for the Welsh and Gibraltar football associations.

While soccer fans might be chomping at the bit for news about the professional teams, Stockley said that Lexington Pro Soccer made a conscious decision to launch its academy and youth program first.

“The foundation is our youth,” he said.

To that end, LPS plans to launch a youth soccer academy this fall, with the professional teams and the pre-professional teams slated to start play in April 2023. The club is in discussions with the University of Kentucky regarding use of its Wendell and Vickie Bell Soccer Complex for the first professional season, with hopes to have a new stadium ready in time for the second season in 2024.

The surface parking lot across High Street from Rupp Arena is the proposed site for the stadium, which is part of the High Street Development Project and includes a plan for multi-level parking structures.

“We’re building a youth system where we can produce our own players,” Stockley said. “That means players can stay local, and mums and dads can watch them play. We can produce players who will go into our pro teams, both male and female.”

Ultimately, Stockley said, the organization hopes to win championships with teams consisting of 60 to 70 percent of homegrown players.

Stockley sees a variety of pathways in the soccer club for youth league players.

“Not everybody is going to be a professional

10

footballer,” he said. “We have a pathway for our recreational players [who] want to just play the game because they love it [and] want to play with their friends. We can teach them on the field about resilience, about teamwork and about confidence, so they can go off and be successful in other areas of life.”

Equally as important, he added, is the pathway that progresses from the youth club into the collegiate world and beyond.

Michelle Rayner, senior director of performance operations for LPS, will be working closely with Stockley to oversee the club’s performance and community relations.

Rayner first took up soccer in her home country, New Zealand. She went on to play at the 1991 inaugural FIFA Women’s World Cup in China and also played professionally in England. As a soccer coach, she was assistant coach and then associate head coach of the University of Kentucky Women’s Soccer Team. Her most recent coaching distinction came when her Lexington Under 12 team, CR7, won the Disney 3x3 National Soccer Tournament in Orlando, Florida, in 2018 and 2019.

“Lexington as a whole is very sports-minded,” said Rayner, adding that the city’s international cultural diversity is reflected in its

soccer community, which features multiple adult and youth teams and many Lexington players who have gone on to play at the collegiate and professional levels and on teams abroad. “For the size of Lexington, the soccer population is high, and a lot of talent comes out of Lexington.”

As general manager of Lexington’s indoor soccer and training facility Tower Hill Sports since its founding in 2019, Rayner has had a lot of engagement with the Lexington soccer community.

Founded by Bill Shively (majority owner of Lexington Pro Soccer), Tower Hill focuses solely on soccer, offering two huge indoor soccer complexes that both provide year-round play for youth and adult soccer leagues.

President of Lexington Pro Soccer, Vince Gabbert, will continue his work with Keeneland where he serves as Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Legislative Affairs.

“We started with a very extensive survey, and we got over 1,500 responses,” said Vince Gabbert, president of the club. In addition to the survey, which was designed to get input on what people expect and want from the soccer club, the organization conducted several online focus groups discussing the stadium and training programs. Another project involved groups of Lexingtonians in virtual meetings brainstorming ideas for the team’s name, colors and crest.

“When it comes to the colors, the crest and all, it’s pretty vital,” said Christopher Payne, an award-winning designer of soccer club branding from Darby, England, who is working with the organization on branding. “It’s what fans will be wearing in the stadium, what the players are going be using on the pitch.”

Payne said it’s important to involve the community in the design process to come up with something that represents the region. As of this writing, nearly 200 community members had taken part in a series of online “listening sessions,” designed to garner community input. For his design process, Payne started with ink and paper sketches, later adding colors and other ideas gathered from the community meetings, eventually covering a large work wall.

Brad Flowers of Bullhorn Creative, a Lexington based branding firm, will help Payne to decide on a team name. Payne said he expects the branding to be completed soon. Rayner said once the new branding is complete for the club, the name Lexington Pro Soccer will be no more. Tower Hill Sports will also be rebranded under the club’s umbrella.

Ultimately, this new chapter in Lexington sports will unleash unmatched opportunities for Lexington soccer fans and players. Stockley recalls being recognized for his soccer talent and signed up by the Southampton Club in England at the age of 12, then, in his teen years, practicing and playing while also cleaning the cleats and looking after the kits (jersey, shorts, shin pads and all) of professional players. He recalls running out onto the field at the age of 18 for the first time as a professional player, hearing the roar of the crowd and feeling the excitement of playing at the highest level of the sport.

Such a path will be soon open to Lexington youth – and those with soccer in their futures will soon have the opportunity to play for the home team. ■

ith cozy, well-worn seating nooks, buoyant houseplants and whimsical paintings and handwritten messages scrawled floor-to-ceiling, the beloved Lexington coffee shop Third Street Stuff feels a bit like an artsy, eclectic aunt’s house and a bit like a favorite neighborhood dive bar. Authentic, artistic and unpretentious, the space is wholly teeming with the aura of owner Pat Gerhard, an artist whose canvas on any given day ranges from clothes, books and benches to tables, boxes, sidewalks and windowsills.

But of all her creations, the walls of her popular coffee shop and gathering place – covered with brightly colored words and whimsical designs – are perhaps Gerhard’s most wellknown masterpiece.

“My artist side simply wants to keep adding more and more little painted things to my environment – things to look at, things to inspire, things to wonder about,” she explained.

Indeed, the space – which Gerhard originally opened as a gift shop in 1996, before expanding to include the coffee shop business in 2004 – has cultivated its fair share of fans. The shop is almost always bustling with individuals reading, studying or working, and small clusters of people gathering to catch up with friends or meet with colleagues over coffee, pastries or sandwiches. Gerhard is a constant bright presence, and while she knows many of the patrons by name, she is just as welcoming to the occasional stranger who happens in, whether they are new in town or just passing through.

Third Street Stuff patron Stuart Horodner has made the eclectic coffee shop a regular meeting spot. He remembers discovering the place after moving to Lexington to become director of the University of Kentucky Art Museum.

“Pat has created a business that truly reflects her personality and deeply held beliefs – it’s a fun and funky café for artists and activists, business leaders and other solid citizens,” Horodner said. “I have met so many of my best friends there, and countless museum supporters and collaborators.”

Originally from Pennsylvania, Gerhard arrived in Lexington in the mid-’70s to study visual art the University of Kentucky. Much to the delight of her legions of friends and fans, she chose to stay.

“It has surprised me for 50 years that I live here, but I love it,” she said.

From her walls to her wardrobe, Third Street Stuff owner and artist Pat Gerhard exudes funky, colorful and whimsical self-expression.

Known for her endless creative energy, Gerhard says she was never good at relaxing.

“I am best when anxiously busy,” she said while explaining the story of how Third Street Stuff came to be. In true entrepreneurial style, Gerhard grew her business

from the ground up. After graduating from UK, she funneled her creative, “anxiously busy” energy into fabricating handmade items to sell from her Lexington apartment, located on West Third Street. It was there the business name “Third Street Stuff” emerged.

“It’s a complicated story,” Gerhard said with a laugh. “But I eventually found my groove – or my groove found me.”

Her longtime friend Lexington-based artist Diane Kahlo remembered the early days of Gerhard’s artistic career.

“When we first became friends, her art-making business was in her home,” Kahlo said. “I remember that her entire house, except the two bedrooms, was covered with tables full of paints and materials.”

Any time one of her creative trains hit a roadblock, Gerhard nurtured and reinvented her business through new iterations, with her creations evolving from woven art to painted jewelry and decorative boxes.

“Some things really took off, and I kept moving forward,” Gerhard said. After trying several business models, she eventually opened up a small shop on South Limestone, keeping the Third Street Stuff business name intact – a name that reclaimed its relevance once she relocated her shop to its current location on the corner of Third Street and North Limestone in 1996. After nearly a decade in the location, she had a lightbulb moment and thought, ‘Why not add a coffee shop?’ As it turns out, it was a great fit – both for Gerhard and for the North Limestone neighborhood.

With a small section filled with funky and eclectic gifts – from funny socks and funky bags and art journals, candy and coffee mugs – the shop is still a great place to pick up unique gift items.

“I still have a few arty things for sale, so a little of the old gift shop is there,” she explained, “but coffee is our main thing now, and people seem to love it.”

In addition to her playful, carefree artistic work, Gerhard also carves out time to create paintings of people and scenes – work she describes as message-driven artwork. This often takes the form of portraits of people she has encountered and knows from the streets near her business.

“I am drawn to the vulnerable and [to] telling their stories,” she explained. “They have stumbled somewhere and couldn’t get back up. It could be any of us.”

Kahlo echoes the sentiments of many of Gerhard’s acquaintances when she describes Gerhard as “an incredibly multi-dimensional and inspiring woman.”

“She’s one of the most creative people I’ve ever met,” Kahlo said.

“I don’t know which part of her I admire the most – I am in awe of the unique way her personal style, her business and her community activism are all integrated.”

After decades of reinvention, Third Street Stuff has grown into an important neighborhood hub, with its own unique vibe. It’s the kind of place to grab a coffee, start a novel, compose the perfect love note or gather with friends to catch up or hatch a plan.

Third Street Stuff opened as a gift shop in 1994, expanding to include the coffee business in 2004. Located near the campus of Transylvania University, the coffee shop has been a popular gathering place for students, professionals and creatives for nearly two decades.

And Gerhard wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I like to think there have been revolutions planned here,” Gerhard said, smiling. “I like that people come here, sit at a table and make plans to change the world.”

Smiley Pete writer Celeste Lewis sat with the business entrepreneur recently for a chat.

Tell me about growing up. Are you from Lexington? I was taught early on to be a worker. My parents were products of the Depression so they valued hard work. My dad always had a list of tasks for us. Working is part of my DNA. I’m kind of driven.

My first 18 years were spent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The friends I hung out with in high school and junior high were the artists and activists. It was a huge high school and big enough that you never met 75 percent of your class.

It was a really good introduction to the things I cared about. It was the ’60’s and very easy to pick out what was important to me. We protested rules and the Vietnam war. We fought for civil rights and women’s rights.

As a junior in high school the scene changed dramatically. We moved to the Pennsylvania countryside. The change was dramatic. The culture of the new community and the new school were confusing and incomprehensible to me. The rules were followed there. And no one was protesting anything.

In a few years I married and moved to Lexington with the husband. Things changed and we got divorced. He went back to Pennsylvania, and I stayed in Lexington. I got married again

20

and soon had a baby boy. I graduated from UK with a bachelor’s degree in visual art. It often seems, looking back, that the big events kept happening, and I just responded instead of making a plan ahead of time. Maybe that’s how it happens to a lot of us.

things. After a few craft fairs I hired some people, mostly students at UK, to help me produce these items. A similar cycle occurred.

Prices of materials went up. Imports of very similar items seemed to come to market, and things changed again.

Tell me about how the business has evolved over the years. I always loved art and wanted to make money making things and selling them. Out of school and with a baby, I noticed the well-developed craft fairs in Kentucky and wondered what I could do that would fit into the craft fair scene.

Eventually I had a small store, a gift shop, to sell my painted things and other artists’ work.

It was quite a road, quite a path. I kept pushing on as I had to do something, and painting and handmade was what I knew.

I took a few semesters of weaving from Arturo Sandoval at UK. Fabric and fibers seemed like a good material to work with when there was a baby with you. Dry, and easy to start and stop.

One thing led to another, and soon I had a business with four or so weavers working with me to produce woven items for craft fairs and then soon for stores selling handmade items all over the country.

The weaving was high labor, and we were soon trying to compete with handwoven items from India and south Asia and Africa. We couldn’t compete. I went home with my looms to reconsider.

I moved to West Third Street and renamed my business Third Street Stuff. I made painted earrings, and painted postcards, painted clocks, painted wood made into so many

What role do the arts and the creative community play in Lexington? After having a space on South Limestone, I saw this empty building for rent on North Limestone.

It attracted me deeply. I liked the community around North Limestone.

This was 1995, I think. After a while I wanted something more. There were so many cars going by, and Sayre School was across the street and Transy one block away. I thought about what I might do to interact with more community than the small gift shop could attract.

And I thought, coffee shop.

Almost 18 years have gone by since the coffee shop opened in 2004, and the community around North Limestone is so inspiring and encouraging.

This creative community that came into the coffee shop made so many ideas come to real-

14-21 creative types.indd 20

2/21/22 1:39 PM

ity. One of these ideas was the Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden. Those early discussions came to be a fabulous inviting arty space at the intersection of Midland and Third. Only an overgrown plot of land existed where this park is now. So much art exists in the neighborhood now – there are so many large murals on North Limestone. The creative community brings this to Lexington.

Gerhard’s colorful, textured multi-media art is an integral component of her downtown shop.

There is so much creative energy here. And that creative energy came into the coffee shop. I am so grateful and inspired by the community.

What is a favorite place in Lexington where you go to recharge? I love to walk around downtown Lexington. I do this every afternoon. I also have a wonderful place to paint and play with art materials at home.

What’s the weirdest thing you have ever painted on? Lately I’ve been painting on Clorox bottles and the containers the wipes come in. We’ve been using so many during the pandemic. I started painting them and hanging them in trees in clusters. A little recycled art and a little nod to the pandemic.

And sticks. I love painting on sticks.

If you weren’t a business owner and artist, what is another career you think might have been fun to try? Being and artist is the only ‘career’ I’ve ever wanted. It sort of seems to be more than a career. It is part of who I am. Owning a coffee shop seems to be an extension of my identity. I didn’t know it for decades, that I would end up with a coffee shop, but the coffee shop allows me to express my vision as an artist. It is a great space for me to share myself as a painter. And it keeps me motivated to do more!

What is a change you would like to see in Lexington? I don’t think I am alone in loving environments that are visually inspiring. Look at all of the murals painted in Lexington in the past five years! And how we love Gallery Hop and the Horse Mania projects. And we still love craft fairs in Kentucky. I don’t really hope for changes so much as that we keep moving in the direction that we are moving. I love what the Carnegie Center has become; I love the changes to the Living Arts and Science Center.

And I love the removal of the Confederate statue at the downtown park and the renaming of the park from Cheapside Park to the Henry A. Tandy Centennial Park. These changes are so positive in my view. And then all of the murals that PRHBTN brings to Lexington!

How has your business handled the pandemic? The coffee shop was truly walloped by the pandemic and continues to be stressed.

Very fortunately I was able to get help from

the federal small business loans. It seems we are continually challenged by the changing virus and how it affects all of us.

Tell me about your artistic process. What inspires you? I just want to make people’s mouths fall open when they see painted spaces and painted objects – even to frown a little is OK. Paint can be like caffeine in many ways.

The brain can get jazzed up.

I am inspired by other artists! I follow many artists on Instagram. And I am always inspired.

Seeing art at museums and galleries is an even bigger gift than it was before Covid hit. It’s an energizing inspiration and nice to realize how important it is to see the actual art in person.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know? I like to paint anything and everything. When I am very tired

and just brain-fuzzy, I paint the paper bags we use in the coffee shop. I paint all of those bags these days. It’s very relaxing. And I listen to audio books while I paint all of those bags.

What is a creative project you’d like to work on next? I get to paint a horse for the upcoming Horse Mania! I am so excited about this. I painted two horses for the first Horse Mania; and as they are life size, it is so much fun. I love horses – the warm, breathing animals – they are not in my life at this time, but I’ve spent a lot of years riding and caring for horses. Such a beautiful animal. Painting a horse for Horse Mania is such a treat.

My horse is about community, specifically the North Limestone community. I love this part of Lexington and a local business is sponsoring my horse. They are part of this community too. ■

Spring Wardrobe Essential

lly Hanna is determined to take the intimidation and choice overload out of buying wine.

Drawing on her decade of experience in wine retail, Hanna opened Vine & Branch in December 2020 with the goal of “making wine easy.” The shop, located at 355 Southland Drive (across from Oleika Temple), is a small but inviting space, teeming with plants and natural light, where customers can taste wines from around the world and learn about them in a relaxed, unpretentious environment.

“I personally find it to be completely overwhelming; where do you even begin?” Hanna said, referring to many big-box wine and liquor stores that offer hundreds or even thousands of products. Instead, she takes pride in her small but carefully curated selection.

Her inventory is focused on organic wines from small producers, and she includes handwritten tasting notes next to each bottle.

But don’t let the boutique atmosphere fool you. “A small shop doesn’t always mean high prices,” Hanna said. Bottles at Vine & Branch generally range from $9 to $30. While most are on the affordable side, she adds that more expensive selections “are going to be [wines] that I think [are] really amazing.”

A Lexington native, Hanna attended the University of Kentucky, where she majored in biological anthropology. When considering what sparked her passion for wine, she can’t help but draw a comparison to her studies in college. “I have always loved anthropology, history and geography,” she said, “It’s interesting that [wine production] includes all of those aspects.”

For those who are interested in exploring the world of wine, Hanna is more than willing to teach. In addition to free wine tastings at the shop every Friday evening from 4:30 to 6:30, Vine & Branch offers private classes and special events. Like her shop, Hanna prefers to keep events intimate, so classes are generally open to four to six participants. And for those who want to keep the wine coming, a subscription club is available for local customers, with three-month, six-month and yearly options.

In addition to wine, Vine & Branch also carries a small selection of local spirits such as Castle & Key gin, vodka and rye; and female-owned and distilled tequila brands TC Craft and Mi Tierra. The variety of houseplants that adorn the shop are also for sale, and patrons can even pick up a macrame plant holder, handmade by Hanna’s mom.

While she understands larger stores may offer wider selections, Hanna emphasizes quality over quantity, getting to know her customers’ preferences and using that knowledge to customize her selection. She believes her approachability and gift for simplifying wine jargon makes Vine & Branch stand out.

“I wanted to be down-to-earth, affordable and really make it easy for everybody.”

iah Durick had always dreamed of opening a small café where she could serve wholesome, good food and bring people together, but ultimately, it was the life-changing experience of parenthood that gave birth to her unique community-based culinary business, Nourished Folks.

Shamrock & Roll While You Sip & Stroll

“Like many new parents, I started thinking about my purpose and what I was doing with my life,” Durick said, adding that her “interesting childbirth experience” opened her eyes to the challenges many women face during and after childbirth. Durick soon trained to become a birth doula, wanting to improve the childbirth experience for other families. Adding cooking to the services offered was a natural extension.

“At the same time, I knew that being on call all the time and dropping everything at any time to attend a birth wasn’t great for my family life,” Durick continued. She naturally began to transition her focus toward cooking, and in 2019 started Nourished Folks, with subscription meal services designed for new parents at the original core of her business. Initially operating out of borrowed commercial kitchens, she began planning a brick-and-mortar location that would serve as both a work space and a gathering space, and in November 2020 she opened the café in Greyline Station, a a mixed-use community hub designed to support small businesses. She chose the location for several reasons, including the freedom and flexibility it offered. But what she has most valued since moving in is the community surrounding Greyline Station.

“Community is such an overused word, but there’s really no other way to describe how great it is to know the people who own every single place in there – to see them and share our struggles but also celebrate how many new people still come in the door every day,” Durick said.

Durick has found herself, like many others, struggling with the uncertainties of operating a small business during the pandemic.

Refocusing on her mission, with subscriptions at the core, has helped her escape from “COVID survival mode” and has helped her business grow. While it started with childbirth clients, the business has evolved into feeding cancer patients or dropping food on porches of people who have COVID. Durick’s vision for the space, which is comfortable and homey, has helped the café become a popular destination for a diverse clientele base. But it’s also her vision for the food – and for how we care for ourselves and others – that keeps people coming back.

“I want to make eating really good food accessible for more people, and I am also very much trying to flip the script on how we take care of each other and how we show up for people,” Durick said. “Life can be hard.”

“My one-sentence slogan for Nourished Folks is ‘Feed Your People,’” Durick concluded, “and that includes yourself.”

ocated in a gorgeous industrial space in the heart of Lexington’s NoLi district (above Broomwagon Coffee + Bikes), Nitrosonic Studios is the only female-owned and -operated recording studio in Kentucky. It’s a place where artists can take their projects from ideas to professionally mastered songs in a comfortable, supportive environment.

The business is run by co-owner and self-described “masher of strings” Leah Arrington, co-owner and lead engineer Danielle Barkman and studio manager Abbi Buettner.

“Almost immediately, there was something about being in the space that made me feel like I was home – like this is where I’m meant to be,” said Buettner, whose position is an ideal example of the opportunities and mentorship that Nitrosonic offers to other women in the industry. Initially hired as an intern, doing whatever was needed from cleaning to helping with construction, she took on additional administrative tasks as time went on and was offered the role of studio manager in August 2020.

The current location opened in 2019, but Nitrosonic’s roots go back to 2005, when the business operated out of a space at 701 E. Loudon. Barkman was working there as an assistant manager and session drummer, and when a former owner approached her about buying the business, it was an easy decision.

“I realized at the time that I had my foot in the door of an industry that can be very difficult to get into, especially as a woman,” Barkman said.

Since then, she and her colleagues have been creating beautiful, professional sounds with musicians like Mama Said Sting Band and Mike Dillon Band, in addition to a long list of locals like Magnolia Boulevard and David “Chill” Napier.

The space is full of state-of-the-art equipment, including Universal Audio’s LUNA recording system, three professionally tuned drum kits, and customizable walls and lighting options. The owners offer a wide variety of amenities for their musicians, from CBD oil to finding Airbnbs and bike rentals, and believe their relaxed yet professional approach sets them apart and keeps artists coming back.

“We never want to rush anybody,” said Arrington. “We want them to be comfortable and just focus on the creative process.”

“Artists need a space where they can feel safe. There is nothing more vulnerable than stepping into a booth and laying out your heart and soul in the form of music,” added Buettner. “Being an integral part of that is an honor.”

SMILEY PETE’S RETAIL GUIDE

CO-OWNERS, LOCAL LEX MARKET

Since launching in March 2021, Local Lex Market, an eclectic retail shop on Southland Drive highlighting Kentucky artists, and artisans, has quickly grown to include nearly 90 vendors from across the state. The shop features a wide variety of handmade items, ranging from cookie dough, candles and jewelry to T-shirts, hats, Kentucky-themed gift items and more.

Karen Gomez and Merritt Carbajal took their first steps toward starting their business in November 2019 after attending Rachel Hollis’ Rise Business Conference together in Charleston, South Carolina. The two women, who each had a full-time job but ran their own T-shirt business as a “side hustle” at the time, left the conference feeling inspired enough pursue their businesses full-time. The women quit their day jobs and merged visions, establishing a clothing brand called 2 Mother Hustlers.

Selling their wares at local craft festivals, they quickly built up a devout client base and soon needed more space. But with the onset of NTI [non-traditional instruction] during the early days of the pandemic, running a business from home while also balancing family and school responsibilities from home started to feel like a lot. Plus, the duo was also attracted to the idea of providing a physical location to engage and connect with their clientele.

Leasing an outside space to run their business became a priority.

After looking at several spots around town, the ladies accidentally stumbled on the current location of their retail shop while checking out the vacant space next to it. Located in the same shopping center that houses Good Foods Co-Op, the 9,000-square-feet building provided ample room to store and produce inventory. But it also had space for more, and Gomez and Carbajal decided to use that extra floor space to welcome other like-minded makers.

However, soon the market will have more to offer than just local merchandise. Local Lex Market will celebrate its one year anniversary on March 19 with a celebration featuring giveaways and samples; many featured vendors will be onsite as well. The celebration will also be the launch of the market’s forthcoming customer lounge, where patrons can grab a coffee or a beer, work, read, catch up with friends and more.

“We truly believe that everyone can be successful if people help to build each other up,” said Gomez. “That’s why it’s so important for us to build a community – not just to ensure our success but to also help other folks with a creative vision similar to ours flourish and thrive, doing what they love.”

EARL GREY MOSCOW MULE RECIPE BY BUDDY HUNTER, LUSSI BROWN COFFEE BAR PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY

The Moscow Mule was invented in New York City in 1941 as a means to use ginger beer that wasn’t selling. Lexington’s Lussi Brown Coffee Bar, a downtown drinkery that specializes in both caffeinated beverages and craft coffee and tea cocktails, has created a new take on this classic, embracing ginger and highlighting the use of tea, lime and honey.

With this new take, you’ll drink it so fast that a copper mug isn’t even necessary.

Ingredients: • 1 1⁄2 ounce Earl Grey-infused vodka (see note below) • 1⁄2 ounce honey • Fresh lime, cut into wedges • 5 ounces chilled ginger tea • Ice • Ginger beer • Mason jar (or any 12- to 16-ounce glass) For the Earl Grey-infused vodka: Add two scoops of Earl Grey tea in a bottle of vodka of choice.

Let steep for two to three hours and strain.

To build the cocktail: Using a tumbler, muddle two lime wedges with Earl Grey-infused vodka.

Add honey, chilled ginger tea and a scoop of ice to the tumbler and shake well. Fill mason jar/glass with ice. Once the tumbler is chilled, strain mixture into a glass over ice. Top remaining space with ginger beer of choice. Garnish with lime wedge. ■

Rules and Play: The Claw. On display through April 2. The Claw is an installation art show from game development collective RunJumpDev focused on the classic coin-operated claw machine. For the purposes of this show, several local artists have transformed classic claw machines into six interactive art pieces. Claw machines have remained a deeply consistent part of pop culture. The Claw exhibition is designed to challenge the preconceived notions of this classic amusement: In what new ways can we interact with these common glass boxes?

Show attendees will be able to draw lines in a sand garden and take a second to admire the stillness, and play with a claw that somehow interacts with virtual creatures on digital displays, and chat with an alien artificial intelligence about the meaning of life.

Find out more about the exhibit at rulesandplay.org. Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center City Gallery, 141 E. Main St.

Studio Players: “Flatspin.”

March 10-13, 18-20, 25-27. A night of romance in her luxurious riverside apartment with the good-looking stranger from next door; how can Joanna possibly go wrong? Except the flat isn’t hers; and her name isn’t Joanna, it’s Rosie (she’s an actor); and heaven knows what the goodlooking stranger is really after.

Instead of romance comes considerable danger ... Rosie’s only way out is to play the role to the end. 7:30 p.m. opening night and Fri.-Sat.; 2 p.m. Sun. The Carriage House, 154 W. Bell Ct. www. studioplayers.org Broadway Live: “An American in Paris.” March 11-13. Inspired by the Academy Award winning

film, “An American in Paris” transports the audience to post-war Paris, where romance is in the air and youthful optimism reigns.

In this poignant production, Gershwin’s soaring melodies are matched by gravity-defying dance as the world rediscovers the power of love. Hoping to start a new life, World War II veteran Jerry Mulligan chooses newly liberated Paris to try and make his mark as a painter. Jerry’s life becomes complicated when he meets the mysterious Lise, a young Parisian ballet dancer with a haunting secret who, like Jerry, is yearning for a new beginning.

Fri., 7:30 p.m.; Sat., 1 and 7:30 p.m.; Sun., 1 and 6 p.m. Lexington Opera House, 435 W. Short St. www.lexingtonoperahouse.com

ETC. Eleanor Dubinsky. March 4.

A multilingual vocalist, guitarist and cellist, Eleanor Dubinsky’s music lives at the tender edge where jazz, world and pop sensibilities meet emotionally forthright songwriting. Her sound reflects and celebrates both her Midwestern roots and the formative time she has spent in South America, Western and Central Europe, Portugal and Cape Verde. At the center of Eleanor’s artistic mission is using music as a means for amplifying marginalized voices and generating dialogue amongst diverse audiences. She is currently a U.S. State Department arts envoy and leads Our Voices, Our Songs, a series of songwriting workshops in the U.S. and Latin America in which young artists write and record original songs rooted in their own personal and community narratives. 7:30 p.m. The Lyric Theatre & Cultural Arts Center, 300 E. Third St. www. lexingtonlyric.tix.com

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m.
