How many times each day do American drivers crash their cars into buildings?
So (security consultant Rob) Reiter’s new projection is that there are at least 100 American drivers veering their cars into buildings each day, or 36,500 a year, and that’s the low bound. The revised figure corresponds to 16,000 Americans injured in car-on-building crashes each year, he believes, and more than 2,500 people killed.
Sadly at present, Renshoku Ramen’s bricks and mortar in Old Louisville (1161 S. 2nd St.) is temporarily closed because yet another act of vehicular mayhem occurred on the street outside.

The fire started after a person driving at a high rate of speed crashed into a parked car and tree at around 6:30 p.m., Louisville Metro Police spokesperson John Bradley said. The driver died at the scene, but no other injuries were reported.
At least the prosecutor’s office is spared the task of refusing to file charges, which seems to be the usual outcome of such instances.
For now, the ramen establishment is reverting to its previous pop-up regimens in an effort to keep employees working as the situation is sorted out. Keep tuned to Renshoku Ramen’s Facebook page for timely updates.

Our good friends @themerryweather have let us go once again I to their kitchen. We will be lining up 1-2 popups a week until we are back on our feet. These popups are for fundraisers for our employees, not us the owners. This week come visit Chef Kairo and I as we sling them dogs. Menu coming shortly and cash is king at these popups. If you can’t support then share and tag a friend, that’s free.
