Dear Neighbors,

Approximately a year and a half ago, an entertainment venue opened on National Avenue called Cosmic Charlie’s.  Our joy of having an entertainment venue opening in the vibrant Warehouse Block of the Mentelle Neighborhood, unfortunately, has become a serious noise nuisance to the neighbors who live on Aurora Avenue.

The neighbors have been working with the police, the Alcohol Beverage Control Board, Walker Properties and the owners of Cosmic Charlie’s to find a solution to abate the bass, sound wave and vibrations that emanate from the building.  At this time, the owners of Cosmic Charlie’s and Walker Properties have not been able to find a resolution.  As such, the processes through the legal system have continued and we are at the point where this matter has reached the courts to decide the fate of Cosmic Charlie’s.

Chad Walker of Walker Properties has asked to meet with interested residents of Mentelle Neighborhood tomorrow (Thursday, March 1)  at 6 p.m.,at the old National Provision’s location at the corner of National and Walton avenues.

I hope you will be able to attend this meeting for an update of the situation from an owner of Walker Properties.

Ann Olliges

President, Mentelle Neighborhood Association

The Mentelle Park median is our entire neighborhood’s front yard, a place for playing, walking dogs and hosting annual events such as the Easter egg hunt and fall picnic. Thanks to Third District Council Member Jake Gibbs and Mayor Jim Gray’s administration, the median has new curbs on the west side. Now, it needs some repair and improvements, which will be done with a $1,500 grant from Kentucky American Water Co. to compensate for damage done during water main construction a couple of years ago.

To plan and execute this work, and to help keep the median beautiful, the MNA is forming a Median Committee, headed by Jill Debolt.  Do you like nature and plants?  Please consider serving on this new committee.  Time commitment will be minimal.  Please contact Jill (chalfont@juno.com or 859-309-2022) if you are interested in serving or have any questions.
