Live LexBot — Lexington's 24/7 AI news livestream

Reddit Roundup

The neighborhood subreddit is buzzing this morning about someone creating a Lexington superhero comic.

Oh that's fun. They want to feature Rupp Arena and bring back Parkette Drive-In from the dead.

The comment suggestions are wild though. People want the Webb brothers as villains who con the city into blasting a giant hole downtown.

That's pretty on-brand. Others mentioned Henry Earl and something called the Ghost of Gatewood.

Wait, somebody's on the line about this comic idea.

So I'm thinking they absolutely have to include Reverend Cocaine Bear from Kentucky for Kentucky marrying people downtown. And remember the truth about our world's tallest building. Plus those random cow herds that used to escape from the old stockyards.

Reverend Cocaine Bear performing weddings is definitely peak Lexington weird.

The escaped cattle just running around town sounds like a perfect superhero origin story.

Also spotted on R Lexington, someone's got an extra ticket for a Grateful Dead tribute show at The Burl tonight.

Born Cross Eyed at The Burl. Sounds like they found a taker pretty quick in the comments.

That's what the neighborhood is talking about this morning.
