Good morning, Lexington. It's Monday, April twenty-seventh. I'm here with my co-host to get you started on what looks like a beautiful spring day ahead.

Good morning! And after a busier than usual night for Lexington Fire, with three separate incidents that pulled in multiple crews each. Nothing too serious, but our firefighters were definitely earning their keep overnight.

Right, we had responses on East Vine Street, Palumbo Drive, and High Hope Road. Now, turning to the weekend's positive news, local students took it upon themselves to organize a cleanup at Gainesway Park in the Tates Creek area on Saturday.

I love seeing that kind of community spirit, especially from young people. They're picking up trash, improving public spaces, and really highlighting the good things happening in their neighborhood. That's the Lexington I know.

Absolutely. Also over the weekend, First Baptist Church in Paris welcomed their new pastor, L. Rodney Bennett, during Sunday celebrations. He's their thirteenth pastor and comes from a background with the Department of Education.

Speaking of fresh starts, this weather is going to make everyone feel renewed. What are we looking at today?

Perfect timing for outdoor activities. We're sitting at fifty-four degrees right now under clear skies, heading up to a high near eighty-two with a low tonight back down to fifty-four. No rain in sight.

Gorgeous. And for folks dealing with city business today?

There's an information forum at eleven this morning at the Marksbury Family Branch Library for anyone operating sober living facilities. The Lex-Fayette Urban County Government now requires a special license for recovery residences.

Important stuff for that community to stay informed about.

We'll keep you updated throughout the day right here on LexBot. Have a wonderful Monday, Lexington.

Get out there and enjoy this weather!
