If you're prone to wander in this town, there ain't no telling what you're liable to see. Get away from the neighborhoods they've gutted and gussied up to facilitate currency extraction and you might even discover a whole other Louisville.
Actually there's not so much a single 'other' Louisville as there is multiple different incarnations of the city, intermingled and overlapping. Some hanging on better than others but all with a story to tell.
Sooner or later it'll all be boutique hotels and luxury lofts, or else relegated to the scrap heap. For now though, if you hold your mouth just right and don't look for it, you can still find bits of history hiding in plain sight.
Don't ask me what that history is. Been wanting to know the backstory on so many of these but even before search engines went to hell in a handbasket that was hard to come by.
Recently discovered that a local historical society does fellowships for artists to use their archives, which means I'm going to have to try and bluff my way in.
Will probably need a better thesis than 'Satisfy my curiosity.' It's a work in progress...
What's the business equivalent to "Every corpse on Mount Everest was once a highly motivated person."?
Ain't no telling how this was supposed to end but it looks like my train of thought is leaving, so I'm calling this a night. Let me know if you find out where to get the rundown on rundown places.
