Starting in 2012, the nine CycLOUvia events have attracted tens of thousands to neighborhoods across the city for festivals temporarily cleared of vehicles. The next one will be Sunday, Aug. 7, from 2-6 p.m on Goss Avenue, Logan Street, and Shelby Street in Germantown, Schnitzelburg, and Shelby Park — also known as Three Points. Previous CycLOUvias were on Bardstown Road, West Broadway and Frankfort Avenue.

The Germantown Mill Lofts website is full of even more amazing pictures of the new 185-unit complex, now nearing completion by Underhill Associates at 946 Goss Ave. Apartments range from studios to one- and two-bedrooms. All are equipped with washers and dryers. Many feature floor-to-ceiling windows (photo, top) that flood apartments with natural light. Amenities include a swimming pool, a gym (now under construction) and the new Finn’s Southern Kitchen restaurant.
Options and prices:
The lofts occupy what was once Kentucky’s biggest cotton mill, consisting of more than 250,000 square feet of beautiful brick buildings spread over nearly eight acres in the heart of Germantown and Schnitzelburg. Finn’s was built inside what was once the mill’s administrative office.
