Kaufman-Straus was a local department store that operated in Louisville, Kentucky, from 1879 to 1969. In 1879, local retail clerk Henry Kaufman opened the first store on Jefferson between 7th and 8th. Four years later, Benjamin Straus entered into partnership with Kaufman.

It operated two stores in suburban Louisville at The Mall and Dixie Manor. In 1969, Kaufman's was acquired by L. S. Ayres, and the downtown Louisville store was subsequently closed in 1971. The flagship store was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is a six-story building. References

Kentucky Oaks Mall

Kentucky Oaks Mall is an enclosed super-regional shopping mall in Paducah, Kentucky, United States. The mall was developed by the Cafaro Company, which owns and manages it. There are more than 100 stores. The anchor stores are Ross Dress for Less, Burlington, 2 Dillard's stores, HomeGoods, Best Buy, JCPenney, Dick's Sporting Goods, Sierra, and Vertical Jump Park. Other major tenants of the mall include H&M, Five Below, and Shoe Dept. Encore. History Kentucky Oaks Mall first opened in 1982 on U.S. Route 60 (Hinkleville Road) just west of Interstate 24. At the time, it had JCPenney, Sears, Ben Snyder's (later Hess's, now Dillard's), and Meis (which became Elder-Beerman in 1989) as its anchors. Venture added its first Kentucky location to the mall in 1989. The Venture store closed in 1998 and became Shopko in May 1999. In 2000, it was rumored that the mall would be sold to CBL & Associates Properties. Shopko remained in the mall for only two years, closing in 2001 along with several other stores, most of which were former Venture stores as well. Several big-box stores were added on the mall's periphery; a Walmart was opened in February 1983 and replaced with a Supercenter in 1992, and a prototype store for The Home Depot opened in 2002. On March 8, 1994, Sam's Club opened north in the mall's surrounding area. By 2003, K's Merchandise Mart had opened in the space vacated by Shopko. Best Buy and Old Navy were both added in mid-2004, with the former supplanting a former Ruby Tuesday restaurant. K's Merchandise closed on November 7, 2006, with the chain's bankruptcy. The K's items were then liquidated by HPG Enterprises, which was closed only one month later after a judge forced it to close due to deceptive advertising. Despite the loss of this anchor store, the mall continued to gain tenants in 2006, including Hollister Co. and New York & Company. In November 2010, Dick's Sporting Goods opened in the space formerly occupied by K's Merchandise. In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Kentucky Oaks Mall, into Sertiage Growth Properties. On December 27, 2016, Sears announced that its store would be closing as part of a plan to close 30 stores nationwide. The store closed on March 19, 2017. Elder-Beerman also closed in 2018 as parent company The Bon-Ton filed for bankruptcy. Cafaro Company announced in late 2018 a plan to redevelop the former Sears property for Burlington, Ross Dress for Less, and other smaller stores, and the former Elder-Beerman for Five Below and HomeGoods. As part of this redevelopment, H&M was also added to the mall. References External links Official website

The school provides a dormitory setting for its students. KSB is a member of the North Central Association of Schools for the Blind (NCASB).

In 1842, it was chartered as the Kentucky Institution for the Blind by the state legislature as the third state-supported school for the blind established in the United States. In 1855, it moved to its present location on Frankfort Avenue in the Clifton neighborhood. About this time, it was renamed the Kentucky School for the Blind. The school separated African-American students under de jure educational segregation until it desegregated circa 1954. In 2018, an ex-principal of the school accused the Kentucky Board of Education of gender discrimination. Notable alumni Grammy winning bluegrass fiddler Michael Cleveland is a previous student of the facility. Another previous student became a notable advocate for others with visual impairments.

It is referred to informally as the State Theatre, although it is operated as a second screen for the Kentucky. The State was a long-time venue for the Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour which now plays at the Lyric theater. In 2000, the Kentucky and its manager Fred Mills found themselves embroiled in controversy over the showing of an X-rated film entitled Disco Dolls in Hot Skin. Undercover officers confiscated the film and Mills was charged with distributing obscene material. The theater filed suit and the film was returned. Mills' charges were dismissed upon arraignment, and the Lexington city council voted 11 to 4 against holding a review on the issue. The phrase "Defend the First Amendment" was put onto the marquee after the incident. In 2020, the Kentucky was shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government terminated the operating contract with The Kentucky Theatre Group, Inc. at the company's request. In September 2021, the Mayor recommended that the management contract be given to the Friends of the Kentucky Theatre, a non-profit 501(c)(3). In January 2022, the theater reopened under the direction of the Friends of the Kentucky Theatre. See also Theater in Kentucky References External links The Kentucky Theatre website

Lake Barkley

Lake Barkley, a 58,000-acre (230 km2) reservoir in Livingston County, Lyon County and Trigg County in Kentucky and extending into Stewart County and Houston County in Tennessee, was impounded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1966 upon the completion of Barkley Dam. Both the lake and the dam are named for Vice President Alben Barkley, a Kentucky native. The dam impounds the Cumberland River near Grand Rivers, Kentucky, approximately 38 miles (61 km) upstream from where the Cumberland empties into the Ohio River. One mile (1.6 km) above the dam is a canal connecting Lake Barkley with Kentucky Lake, forming one of the greatest freshwater recreational complexes in the country. The lakes run parallel courses for more than 50 miles (80 km), with the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area located between them. Lake Barkley is 134 miles (216 km) long with a shoreline measuring 1,004 miles (1,616 km). The lake's level is maintained at different levels throughout the year for flood control purposes. Summer pool, 359 ft (109 m) above sea level, is normally reached by May 1. The water level begins dropping gradually on July 1, and winter pool (354 ft; 108 m) is reached by December 1. The spring rise starts April 1. The lake's water surface area varies accordingly from 57,920 acres (234.4 km2) at summer pool to 45,210 acres (183.0 km2) at winter pool. History As with the formation of Kentucky Lake, communities were flooded in the 1960s to build Lake Barkley. Locals often refer to "Old Eddyville" for Eddyville and "Old Kuttawa" for Kuttawa. The "Old" areas were the portions of the cities that were left above the water after the areas were flooded; these old areas are now lakefront. The present-day cities were created on nearby sites after the lake was impounded. Old foundations and streets, previously flooded, are still visible during winter pool. Highways were even relocated, including US 68 and US 62, along with state routes and smaller streets. The Illinois Central Railroad was also relocated; the former alignment can still be seen under water from low flying planes above. The area was significantly damaged by a violent EF4 tornado on December 10, 2021. The State Park lodges were opened to house area residents whose homes were destroyed. Recreation Lake Barkley State Resort Park is located on the eastern shore of the lake. The largest yellow bass ever taken in Kentucky (1 lb., 1 oz.) was caught in the waters of Lake Barkley. In 2019 officials started to aggressively deal with the invasion of Asian carp into Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. The state is using electo-shock fishing and sonic devices and hope to remove 5 million pounds of the species a year See also Lake Barkley State Resort Park Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area References External links LakeBarkley.org Official web site of Lake Barkley Lake Barkley – U.S. Army Corps of Engineers KentuckyLake.com Lake Barkley, Kentucky Lake & Land Between the Lakes Information Facilities map of Lake Barkley (Kentucky side) Archived December 24, 2010, at the Wayback Machine Lake Barkley Boating Depth Chart
