Reviving Fourth Street

In the 1940s, '50s and early '60s, South Fourth Street was among the places to go in downtown Louisville, a lively strip jammed with theaters, stores, restaurants and people. Louisville officials are focusing on ways to reclaim a bit of South Fourth's heyday, especially as an entertainment district. Mayor Dave Armstrong has committed $500,000 in his new budget -- to be matched with $1 million in private money -- for a low-interest loan pool to spur development of entertainment enterprises in the two blocks between Muhammad Ali Boulevard and Broadway.

Louisville revels in 'livability' honor

The U.S. Conference of Mayors named Louisville one of five finalists for an award for ''city livability'' in cities with at least 100,000 people. Mayor Armstrong said planned downtown housing such as Waterfront Park Place and The Glassworks impressed the judges. He also said the continued development of the eMain USA corridor and the medical center are significant. And proposed entertainment and retail makeovers to the Galleria and Fourth Street showed the city's commitment to a vibrant downtown.

Bristol closing at arts center; new cafe coming

The Bristol Bar & Grille restaurant at the Kentucky Center for the Arts is closing after more than 17 years, and will be replaced in the fall by a restaurant run by Zephyr Cove's management. The center wants a restaurant that will attract people even when there is not an event at the arts center because the restaurant offers something ''that isn't available anywhere else.''

Jobs Web site beckons to Kentuckians

Collie King started MyCareerNetwork two years ago to help solve a problem: how to keep Kentucky's best and brightest young college graduates from fleeing the state -- and how to reel back those who had left. So King, a Louisville native who worked elsewhere before returning in 1993, set about building an Internet jobs board with a difference: online want ads from Kentucky and Southern Indiana companies seeking to attract jobseekers with local roots -- and vice versa.

City helps groups with Web pages

One day soon, Louisville residents will be able to find out what's happening in any of the city's neighborhoods by surfing the Web. The city's Department of Neighborhoods is joining Neighborhood Link, an Internet-based network that will give neighborhood associations and non-profit organizations a chance to create their own free, interactive Web site.

Soon, youll be able to recall sent e-mails

Ever fire off an e-mail then wish you hadn't? New software may be able to help prevent that. Several companies are now selling programs and services that allow users to control how long e-mail messages remain on the recipient's desktop and ensure that they can't be forwarded, printed or copied without the sender's authorization. Some of these security programs allow the sender to retrieve messages after they've been sent.
