More than 8,000 people the endured heat to see Tony Hawk,
skateboarding's biggest celebrity. Hawk said he specifically
included the Extreme Park among the 10 locations where
his crew of 11 professional skateboarders and bikers will
stop nationwide, ESPN cameras in tow. He had no regrets
after yesterday's show. ''It was unbelievable . . . the
best turnout we've had on the tour this year,'' Hawk said
last night, adding that the park had lived up to its billing.
''Every stop we go to, people are talking about this park.
They ask us, 'When are you going to Louisville?' '' Hawk
said after the event. ''This park is everything it was
touted as.'' 
Three days after the Louisville Board of Aldermen axed
a $2 million addition for the Extreme Park, Mayor Dave
Armstrong announced that more than 20 businesses have
expressed interest in funding the expansion. Armstrong
wouldn't name the businesses, but he said he's confident
they will provide enough money to complete the park by
year's end.
Baseball and hot dogs. The two go together like peanut
butter and jelly, cookies and milk or red, white and blue.
But an Oldham County food-service company thinks it has
found a way to improve on the classic combo. Buckner-based
Rocket Man Inc. has developed Rocket Dog, a portable unit
for dispensing hot dogs that's being tested at Louisville's
Slugger Field. 
The first phase of the Home of the Innocents' $25 million
redevelopment of the sprawling Bourbon Stock Yard site
at the eastern end of Market Street is on schedule to
be completed next spring. When it's done, the ''children's
village'' is expected to improve property values in the
Irish Hill, Butchertown and Phoenix Hill neighborhoods.
