The IMRA says three-quarters of us will hit the stores this week to get ready for the big day next Sunday. Looks like something is about to happen in the Salem Drive-J.R. Miller Boulevard area. The city is on the verge of annexing 12 acres east of J.R. and south of Salem that belong to Jack and Ione Jones. That property combines with 13.6 previously annexed acres the couple owns next door for a 25.6-acre development. Jones says he's in the process of selling the property but doesn't know the name or plans of the buyer.
City records say there are nine commercial lots in the section being annexed.
And don't forget to tip. The Kentucky Lottery has a new ticket that it says is a guaranteed winner.
