LEXINGTON, Ky. — Community members are weighing in on dining destinies, nostalgic public art projects, and where to find gaming supplies in the r/Lexington forum today.

A discussion about one-night dining recommendations drew strong opinions on where to spend a rare evening out on a Monday. Coles 735 Main, a New American restaurant in a restored historic building downtown, emerged as the upscale pick. Corto Lima, a mid-scale Latin restaurant, attracted recommendations for its cuisine from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America alongside the American Southwest. Other popular mentions included casual stops for pizza, comfort food like cheeseburgers, and budget-friendly options such as half-price small pies at local spots. The thread drew consensus that Lexington offers diverse dining experiences across price points and cuisines for both tourists and locals.

Another thread centered on a vandalism incident with a sports jersey. The original poster shared a photo and asked for help identifying the garment. One commenter sarcastically suggested it was a Colombian national team jersey and recommended contacting their coach about matches in Baltimore—a jab at the absurdity of assuming vandals would be professional athletes. The 2026 Colombia home jersey features gold yellow recognized across South American football, though vandals in a Lexington neighborhood were almost certainly just local fans wearing the popular kit, not world-class players.

A query about where to buy Army Painter miniature paints drew immediate responses pointing to The Rusty Scabbard on Lane Allen Road as the go-to local gaming store. One commenter noted it carries both Army Painter and Citadel paints alongside a broad gaming selection. Alternative suggestions included A+ Comics, D20, and the Warhammer Store on Richmond Road, though one resident warned against a store abbreviated as "CM."

Nostalgia dominated a thread about painted horse statues. Several residents reminisced about participating in school art projects decorating fiberglass horses for display around town. Horse Mania has been a recurring public art project by LexArts in 2000, 2010, and 2022. One commenter lamented that the horses are now "hoarded away in private collections" after auctions rather than remaining on city streets. Others noted some horses may still appear occasionally and suggested future iterations would likely return. A resident even offered to share footage from 2010 if anyone wanted to see their school's horse.

Finally, an announcement for an acroyoga session tonight at Woodland Park drew lighthearted ribbing. Commenters joked about the sport's acrobatic nature and insurance concerns, with several quipping that spectators would need higher premiums just from watching.
