Quote from @Denise Supplee: Hi @Fred McKinley Hughey, For a comprehensive foundation, I’d focus on a mix of books, podcasts, and practical learning.

To keep costs down, many mix new and secondhand pieces—Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and local hotel liquidators are great for finding like-new furniture at a fraction of the price.

The City Council is voting Tuesday on a $342 million Railyards development including:- New soccer stadium for Republic FC- 3,600-seat live music venue (transforming historic Central Shops)- Mixed-use entertainment district with housing, retail, commercialMajor capital is flowing into Sacramento's Railyards.

They’re eager to jump into a deal, but moving money around, mixing accounts, or scrambling for documents ends up slowing everything down when it matters most.

And it’s why Louisville continues to be what it has always been: steady, durable, and consistently consistent.Here's the twist:The more national office distress you see,the more capital rotates into industrial, logistics, retail, and mixed-use redevelopment.And Kentucky is positioned right in that slipstream.Investors love stability.Companies love access.Workforces love affordability.And right as NAR is projecting double-digit home sales growth in 2026 and a 4% bump in prices, Kentucky is stacking real economic foundations, not headlines.

Still, uncertainty looms large: the absence of market data leaves policymakers navigating blind, while mixed signals from Fed officials suggest internal debate over the appropriate pace of policy adjustment.Inflation Concerns: Price Stability Takes PriorityInflation seems to be presenting itself as the bigger issue over the other side of the Fed's dual mandate-- employment.
