What does it take to go from university career counselor to three-term city council member? We sat down with Lexington's Hannah LeGris to find out. Hannah walks us through the question that launched her campaign, how she built a values-first team, and what it really means to govern a district that stretches from downtown to UK's campus.

We get into the nuts and bolts: how eight votes move policy, the story behind Phoenix Park's $4.6M revival, and how she steered $1.5M into Lexington's tree canopy, prioritizing the neighborhoods that need it most. Hannah also breaks down her no vote on expanding the Urban Service Boundary and makes the case for smarter infill and transit before the city grows outward.

Plus: how to make local government actually accessible, managing criticism with empathy, and surviving marathon meetings. Whether you want to run for office or just make your city better--this one's your primer.

A farmers market can change a city. Josh England, who runs Lexington's 50-year-old member-owned market, walks us through how the city shifted from fearing "messy" agriculture to embracing a vibrant Saturday scene where coffee, flowers, and conversation sit beside corn, beans, and tomatoes. He walks us through the real variables shaping your shopping list, hyper-local weather, hoop houses extending the season, and the dance between price and supply. Plus, a fun looks at "veggie trends" like kale fatigue and cabbage's comeback, with practical moves to keep costs low and flavor high.

We also explore the market's strategic pivots: the move to the Warehouse Block created a welcoming weekday hub, while the Cold Brew Coffee Festival turned a late-August slump into thousands of visitors and protected farm income. As Lexington grows, Josh is eyeing winter options, expanded weekday vendors, and possible satellite markets, while partnerships with Seedleaf and FoodChain help new growers and kids connect with seasonal food.
