An fascinating dialogue is value comment. I believe that it is best to write more on this matter, it might not be a taboo topic but generally individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers degkagdecagadefa

I am a Louisville native, born & raised in the West End. I attended Flaget & UL, then moved to various cities with my job. I'm retired now & live in Sou. CA but I get back to Louisville occasionally and I find that it's changed greatly. As for Old Louisville, I assume that it's the area of 1st thru 7th sts. S of downtown out to UL. It was just an area of big, old homes back in the 50's when I was there. I'm glad that they've been renovated now. I do remember St. James Court as being very trendy back in the 50's however. I miss Louisville.
Is anyone watching what is going on at 1435 4th street? I saw them hauling
out at least 5 mantles last week.
Copper thieves are hitting in old louisville again in wee hours of the morning . Keep an eye out and report any sightings to the Louisville Metro police department .
Everyone needs to be made aware that the Indiana State Police have a speed trap set up in the area North and South of the Kennedy bridge on interstate 65 .
This is just an advisement to anyone needing to move their prescriptions to Kroger pharmacy . Do yourself a favor and go to Waggoner Pharmacy ! Kroger Pharmacy is at best a joke ! The people are rude and if you send in a prescription over the internet you just might not get it !
To get into Louisville from 64 east in Indiana take exit 121 from the left lane and follow all detour signs. To get into Louisville from 64 west follow the signs to St. Louis and get off at the 3rd street exit . Old louisville is straight ahead on 3rd st . Churchill downs is in the same direction . So is U of L.
To get to 65 in downtown Louisville from 64 west Get off at the 3rd street exit . Go under the convention center to liberty street , liberty street is after Jefferson Street . Make a left onto liberty and you will see an overpass . Go under the overpass and pick up 65 North . Go over the Kennedy bridge and get off at 6B. 6B will put you on 265 , 265 will take you back to 64 West .
For those from Indiana going 64 east to Louisville again pick up 265 into Louisville . Just follow the detour signs.
Sherman Minton Bridge is closed between Indiana and Kentucky . Detour to Indiana from Louisville is the Kennedy bridge that can be picked up in Downtown Louisville . Take hwy 65 North in the direction of Indianapolis , than get off at 6 B , 6 B will be 265 West , 265 West will than after a couple of miles you will find and pick up 64 West again .
What was the name of the neighborhood grocery store on the corner of 26 & Walnut In the 1940's or l950's?
How did the street "Pope Lick Road" (Louisville, KY) get its name? Is it based upon an incident?
I have been trying to discover why Market Street at 23 has that large sweeping curve in it...could you possibly help me in anyway.....thank you
Due to time , there is not enough time to keep up with updating ! Even though everyone tries ! There is a lot more updating at http://www.oldlouisville.org . The old Louisville information center website . They have a lot more volunteers ! You can also find the Old Louisville Newsletter under neighborhoods at that site . Thanks for visiting !
I have lived in Old Louisville on 1300 block of 1st St. since November last year and just love it. 2 weeks ago I walked through the neighborhood down 1st St, up Ormsby and then up 4th to Central Park. I then walked through St James and Belgravia Ct to make my way home....what glorious vistas along the way!!! Look up people!! The turrets and roof lines are as interesting as any residential neighborhood in Europe! I'm really looking forward to Shakespeare in the Park later this month.
I'm sorry about those suffering from crime, for some reason I always seem to see alot of police around. So far I've been safe and sound where I live. I see residents young and old walking their dogs, jogging, tending their yards..There always a few to spoil things but overall after living in the suburbs for 30 years I love it here!
As to the site I love it..just wish some portions were updated! (Found my house pictured in the 1st St Spring photo section..wish it was updated!!)
Old louisville was the first suberb in Louisville . Living outside of the city center . The city itself was built on the riverfront .
While I was planning my trip to see Old Louisville next week, I found your excellent site. Just curious - why is Old Louisville so far from the riverfront? A problem with flooding in the early days?
The city did a great job cleaning the streets after the Marathon this year ! The sun was shining and it looked like all were having a great time !
Crime has been on the up swing in old Louisville recently. After meeting with the Louisville Metro Police department they have asked for anyone interested in crime in the city to send in their email to the police department. They will then send you information on crime and a map as to crime locations .Police patrols are being increased . Also never leave valuables in plain view for criminals. Set your alarms day and night if you are away. Be aware of yor surroundings !
Lock pickers are out in force in Old Louisville ! Might be a good idea to set your alarm if you have one ! Also doors are being kicked in.
Homes in the 1400 block of south third street have had bicycles stolen in rear yards and house broken into .
The city is looking into cutting down and adding paver stone to the alley On Magnolia street between S.Second and S.Third street to help with drainage . What do you think ? During the last flood in this area I was standing in almost four feet of water . I think we need more than a cut down and paver stone . During the last flood water was filling basements and garages. Water was coming up out of the drain . The information Center needs your input . Herb Fink is dealing with the city on this one .
Have a happy new year all !
I am going to hate to see the utility bills this month. Have four furnaces and still had to add a few space heaters. Hope we do not have any ice storms as we did in the past !
Dont forget the holiday house tour. http://www.holidayhousetour.com.
Part of the old theater building at fourth and oak burned today .
It will be a sad day when Mr. Jerry Abramson is no longer Mayor. The city has changed in so many ways. We still have a way to go , but we are on the go to get there. Best wishes Mr. Abramson.
I hope you all have your I pads by now. There are many apps to study language if you travel around the world. Also many apps. for all of you medical people out there. Stop by an apple store near you and take one on a test run. Great for reading the Old Louisville news letter in your easy chair. We enjoyed and made many purchases at the art show.
Remember to read your online newsletter at http://www.oldlouisville.org under the neighborhood section.
Halloween was good this year with many in costume. We went through two grocery sacks of candy. The trick er treeters were very polite and friendly this year.
CarlyRae's has reopened and it's better than ever. Something doing every night and now it has, not only the biggest, best patio in Louisville, it has the biggest TV in Louisville. check it out.
just type in m.louisvilleky.gov on your phone.
You can now put Louisville's website on your mobile phone . http://www.m.louisvilleky.gov.
In Kentucky you can open carry a handgun as long it is plain view . Or you can go to the sheriff's office and get a concealed carry permit. Since there are so few police officers in Old Louisville it seems we have no choice but to protect ourselves. I had called the Louisville City Police not long ago. I was told no officers were available. With cut backs this is even happening in other cities.
What is up with drunk people sleeping on peoples front porches in Old Louisville. Had a guy the police were chasing crashed on my porch then busted out my window. Why is it there are only two police cars patroling all of Old Louisville. And why are they moved from Old Louisville when something is going on downtown ????
I was hoping that The Old Louisville Victorian Ghost Tour would take place in October of this year. I was very dissapointed last year when we got to Louisville and there was no Victorian Tour. The special thing about the Victorian Tour were the "Real" ghosts that would appear during or after the story was told and the ability to go into some of the "Haunted Homes". I know that it must have been so much work to get all of that organized, but my husband and I and my friends loved it and have been coming for 4 or 5 years. We miss it and wish that you all could get that together again. I believe that at one time there was even a carriage ride around the fountain in St. James Court. Just wanted to let you know how great that tour was and am hoping that you could bring that back! Thanks!

Everyone that loves horses in Kentucky. Visit http://www.srs.at. In Vienna Austria. We were there and gave them information about Kentucky. And the Old Louisville website. Did you know http://www.oldlouisville.com also has http://www.altfrankfurt.com ?
Saw many nice people and places in Prague Czech Republic and Vienna Austria ,this year. People from Old Louisville are from around the world. Many in Old Louisville , travel around the world. Why is it most Americans speak only english ? When people from places like Europe can speak many languages. Do our schools think we are too stupid ? In America we all should know two languages ,if not more.
Thank you so much for a walk down memory lane.I was born in Louisville and lived in and around Old louisville most of my early years there.We live at 802 and 838 south 1st street.We also lived at 117 east Brackenridge.My Mother worked at a little restaurant called The Dinenet Grill in the 800 block of 1st. At 1st. & Brackenridge was Davis drug store. Also on that corner was a small service station and a liquor store.The small building of the service station is there today.There was an A & P food story at 842 south 1st. One block north on the corner were two bars.We also lived in the 900 block of 1st. and two places in the 900 bolck of 2nd. I went to school from the 1st grade to the 6th at Victor H Engerhard when it was on Kentucky street. We ran the streets day and night never fearing anything. I would'nt do that now. That was all 60 years ago. I wish we had taken more pictures back then as most of the places I lived have a long time goin. I know most of what I speak of is just north of what is now called Old Louisville , but I remember it well. I would like to see some pictures of the things I spoke of if possable .Thanks agen.
You might notify all of the pawn shops. Just google pawn shops Louisville Kentucky. No matter where you are these days it seems people are held up. There was a rash of home break ins in Bullit county. Just a few weeks ago. Hair spray works well if someone is trying to mug you.
My wife and I were visiting Louisville on the weekend of the 24th for a wedding and got robbed at gun-point near Ormsby and 3rd street. They stole my wallet, keys, cell phone, and my wife's engagement ring. We currently live in Michigan, but if anyone finds our ring in a pawn shop, please please please send me an email at hpisloud at gmail dot com. We will reward you for your efforts.
Here is a picture of the engagement ring: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/118/0/a/wedding_rings_by_hpisloud.jpg
In the picture, the engagement ring is the one on top of the other 2 rings.
Thank you!
"Engine 7" on 6th St, recently the oldest continuously operating fire house in the United States closed early in 2009 because the city had no cash. http://www.wlky.com/news/18458729/detail.html
Three months later, the city found nearly a million dollars as a forgivable loan to renovate a 5-year old bar at 4th Street Live http://www.wlky.com/money/19266382/detail.html
Yesterday morning, barely four stoplights away from old Engine 7, another vintage building burns, gutted by fire.

Everyone now can do their part to save Old Louisville. Everyone now can cut down on air pollution by driving a hybrid car, and install a 90% eff. furnace system. We can also go to electric weed eaters, blowers, and lawn mowers. Also be ready for any flooding in your basement by checking to see that your sump pump is working if you have a basement. We can all also chek to make sure street drains are clear for the April showers.
Do not purchase computer related devices from staples on Preston street in Louisville. Or you will be sorry that you did !

What a wonderful resource! The history of street addresses was a fabulous find when researching a building. Thank you SOOOOOO much! There is just so much available at just a click that I was astounded. I realize a lot was lost in the '37 floods, so this is a delight to be able to find so much here. I'm not done yet, but just wanted to give a special thanks for the street address/resident history.
I’m trying to research the Parrish that resided at 1119 S. 4th Street (now 1027 S. 4th Street) Is there a link that may help me there?
I had found old newspapers from the area online somewhere, but after back clicking to the original link, I can no longer find that site..
Thank you for the obvious work put into this site!

Recently there was flooding in Old Louisville. M.S.D. is trying to clean drains in Old Louisville at this time. However, People continue to park over the top of these drains even when M.S. D. post no parking signs. That means these drains can not be cleaned. If you see cars parked on these drains during the posted no parking time . Please notify LMPD to ticket these vehicles before the next rain overtakes Old Louisville . LMPD 574-7010.
Jim Dillon and Peggy Wooten both could be seen at the corner of S. Second and Magnolia for many years. Both died a tragic death. Peggy died by being crushed by a van. Jimmy died in a fire. Maybe we all need to come together and fnd a way to create a memorial in their memory.
Addy for Funerl home is 1201 E. Oak St.
Jim Dillon of the 1300 block of second street has died. He was in a house fire last week next to the Magnolia bar and grill. Funeral services will be held 10:00a.m. Wednesday at Holy Spirit Catholic Church 3345 Lexington Road with entombment to follow at Louisville Memorial Gardens West. Visitation will be held at Arch L.Heady Russman and Sons Funeral Home from 4-7 p.m. Tuesday. The family would like expressions of sympathy to take the form of contributions to the Louisville Fire fighters Fund.
Many people are hit by cars in the south because of in attentive drivers or while riding a bicycle. For care for your self you will need up front 10,0000 $$$$$. Worth of insurance. No Md, in Kentucky will see you if they are aware you have been in an auto accident. Due to lawsuit paper work. This is only the beginning of your horror of anguish and pain. Within the legal system.

Does anyone know what building stood on the south east corner of 6th & Main streets. It's a parking lot now & has been for at least 50 years. I lived in that building for 2 years in 1951-52.

Has anyone ever noticed that the grocery stores in the east end have better meat counters than the ones around Old Louisville. Do the grocery stores also profile ? Just a thought !
Why is the un-employment rate so hi in Kentucky ? It is fairly simple ! Many in Kentucky are smarter then they use to be !!!! Today contractors in Old Louisville are dealing with people with college degrees. While they themselves have but a high school degree. Every used car salesmen thinks he is smarter then his customer. Look around how many car sales parking lots in Old Louisville are now vacant...............The old saying goes !!! Thy shall not screw they neighbor !!! Or with it the information shall flow !!!!!!!! I wold rather my building fall to dust then to hire a thieving contractor. We need to start a list in Old Louisville and run them out of business.
Central West Neighborhoods section of the c/j . July 22,2009. Tatoo shop bruised by Old Louisville rules. Wow ! After people have spent their lives and their incomes to make Old Louisville a better place . Not to mention increasing property values. In turn increasing taxes paid into the city. 'Du" why would anyone be against a tatoo parlor next door to them !!!!! While we are at it. Lets put a tatoo parlor next to every house in the suberbs. This is "our neighborhood ". It is time for all of us to fight for it !!!!!!! The law is the law....

For anyone who lives in Louisville. For anyone who lived in Louisville in the past. Not only is Old Louisville on the come back. The city and the riverfront is also making a come back. I went to the river today from Old Louisville. I could not believe what I saw. The riverfront now looks like a place where tourist would want to come. Everyone needs to go see it.

It was being borrowed as the Old Louisville information was updated to high speed internet. Old Louisville now has many websites. Just remember .org is for the info. center and .com is for a lot more info. That means we have twice as much info as we did in the past.
Please update your calendar... I found myself on the 2008 calendar and was very confused.
Why is it that people in old louisville in good times when they are strong and able to come to meetings will come together and party all night long. However when an Old Louisville resident becomes ill or disabled they are treated as a discard. There are many aging people in Old Louisville. I am sure they would appriciate some company. And possibly a glass of wine......They have stories of the Old Days to tell, if only a few of us would only take in the time for but a whisper into "our future". As so many have past into bygone days .......... To measure one's past is only to look into one's future.........
Recently I watched as one of my neighbors had a roof replaced.It was replaced by http://www.bonedryroofing.com. Looking at it from the ground it looks nice. However the upper area has exposed nails . And the flat roofing edges were nailed and tared over. This is poor workmanship, and a leak waiting to happen.

I grew up in Louisville in the 1950's.....my playground was my dear old Fountain Ferry Park!! What a wonderful place and time.....once I was in contact with a Mr. Jerry Rice, and I loaned him a clown doll from Fountain Ferry to put on display, for a while it was at Kentucky Kingdom...then when I went back it was gone and no one seemed to know anything about it.......I was wondering if anyone knows where these things that were on loan is at and how I can get in touch with Jerry Rice..or anyone who would know. For a few years I ordered Christmas ornaments from him....things that had been in Fountain Ferry.......then somehow I just lost touch with him.......... Any help would be much appreciated and a great help....I am just trying to find out where my little clown doll is at....

Added info from below: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/monitor3.htm
Old Louisville is so large I was going to add a second monitor to my computer so I could see the entire place. My computer has a card with a vga and dvi-d connection on the back of it. You can hook up one vga monitor and one dvi-d monitor .This is a notice to everyone that might want to see old louisville on two monitors. If you need a dvi-d to dvi-d cable to hook up your monitor you will not find a cable at any store in Louisville . You can get one on the net. The new trick all of the stores in Louisville are doing now to hook up your monitor is first you have to purchase a new monitor with a hdmi connection then they will sell you a new cable hdmi to dvd-d for an extra $75.00. Make sure you have the cables to hook up a new monitor , before you purchase one. Also make sure you have the proper card to hook up two monitors. Just a tip from a neighbor.

With recent rains , some of you might have gotten water in your basement. A few years ago I too got water in my basement. The problem with regular sump pumps is the intake is at the bottom of the pump. If you get mud or sewage in your sump pump , or if your electricity goes out your sump pump is not going to work. Your basement will flood. The answer is a sump pump made by wayne. The model # is ISP40. I have one . I got mine at Lowes on the east side of town. You can also get them on the net. Just google wayne sump pump ISP40. The advantage to this pump is it has a stack on it with a screen . Mud or sewage can get several inches up around the stack and water can still flow into it. With no electricity the batteries will run the pump for up to 20,000 gallons.
One problem that has not been addressed is air pollution in Old Louisville . Today we can slow the acid rain . We can all take part ! Ride the bus to work. Drive a hybrid vehicle. Ride a bicycle. Install a 90% eff. furnace. Plant a garden. Use solar lighting. This might not fix everything. However , what would happen if all 13.000 people in Old Louisville did it ? What would happen if everyone in Louisville did it. I have done all of these things......

Warning to all ! Subject :Identity Theft. Many of us use a shredder to stop identity theft, however how safe are we ? Recently I was listening to my police scanner as police were sending over their radios names , addresses, and social security numbers of people . Could have one of these people stolen your wallet and used your information to give to the police ? Is it your name, address, and social security number going out over the air.

Grafitti artist are at it again. Yes even in the cold of Feb. The east side of the 1400 block of Sout 3rd st. was hit last week. LMPD has seen the painting on the walls and said they will try to step up patrols. They said however they could use some help from the eyes and ears of the neighborhood. Home owners are responsible for cleaning up the grafitti on private property I was told.
Hi everyone. I'm hoping to find some poems about Louisville. Can anyone recommend a poet or a book? Actually, I would love it if folks who visit this site would try writing some poems about Louisville to submit to me for consideration for a book I am going to publish soon called KENTUCKY MEMORIES. Perhaps you think you cannot write poems, but I can help by editing your poem for you. Just send it to me, if you want my feedback. Thanks
February 1, 2008 I loved browsing the Old Louisville web site, but didn't find the source of information that I was looking for, thought maybe you could help me out? My grandmothers' brothers', James Sloan owned a produce market in downtown Louisville, I believe it was called "Hill & Sloan Produce Market. My grandmother also had another brother, Boss Sloan whom also lived in Louisville and drove a delivery truck for the produce. I would love to locate any photos' of the market or any information, I would be so greatful. I appreciate any help you can give me in my search. Thank you. Sincerely Kathy Johnson Bowling Green, KY

I own a home in Old Louisville and visit twice a year. I check this website monthly and like to read the current news, etc. I am very disappointed that the site is not kept up-to-date. The newsletter on the site has not been updated since August and the tour info and calendar is for 2006. Please update it for those who wish to visit and may want to plan their trip around the upcoming events there. Thank you
We post them as we get the files from the Information Center. We received nothing September or October, and the info center does not keep a copy after they send it to the printer. The November newsletter was posted on line before the printed version was sent out.
I lived in Old Louisville in 2005 and was stabbed by a home intruder trying to rob me. I fought the man and held the man until the police came and apprehended the man. It's has been over two years since the bloody battle and trial will soon commence on the 13th of November. The man will serve due-time. I am now requesting from the community of Old Louisville a RECOGNITION OF HONOR for my bravery/stupidity in stopping and capturing a Thief-Repeat Criminal-Attempted Murder-Street Villain--and placing him behind prison bars. My name is Preston Morris and I will be in Louisville for the trial between Nov. 10 & Nov. 15. I can be contacted at PrestonMorris2013<AT>hotmail.com
It is sad to say that recently one of Old Louisville's Old homes that was converted into apartments has burned in the 1200 block of South First St. The fire also damaged a building next to it. Why does the inspections dept. in Louisville not pay more attention to these homes that are being converted to apartment buildings when they are zoned single family ? Many times the wiring in those buildings are not designed for multi family . It is a fire waiting to happen...........
Hello everyone, I don't know how many people read this section, but I hope what I have to say is worthwhile to everyone who loves this neighborhood. I've spent my entire adulthood working to help bring out the best in this neighborhood. I've been involved in Old Louisville since I was 19. (1986) Unlike many people in 1986, I felt that Old Louisville was a special place. Distinct in the U.S. for it's mostly undisturbed concentration of Oueen Anne homes and worth more than what it was getting. I have put more than my fair share of a "pound of flesh" into Old Louisville, and still do currently. I have been influenced by, and have myself convinced several others over the years, that Old Louisville is special. We have all contributed greatly to the improvement of this neighborhood. Some of those that deserve praise are; The Charing Cross Company, The Underhills, Rudy Van Meter, Mary Martin, Ben Handy, Joey & Mark Mosier, and many others. Over the last few years , I have been happily surprised at some individuals (mostly out of town) who see the potential and have been willing to spend large sums of money to improve Old Louisville by making it into an exclusive neighborhood. The trend toward condos as an example. Unfortunately, this has been attempted before by many individuals and they have failed. The influx of these people is exactly want we need in Old Louisville. Yet, why the failure? Sadly, Old Louisville has been both neglected and disrespected by the native Louisvillians and our local government. What should be considered as one of the, ..if not the most beautiful collections of historic homes in the nation, is well... a bitter pill to swallow. There are many individuals that are "Old School" Old Louisvillians that came here and took the risk as I have done because they love this neighborhood and know in their heart that we have something special here. I believe the root cause is a stigma that Old Louisville is known (by the locals) as an area of large cheap units, with no other intent than to trash the place because " o hell, it's an old dump anyway mentality". If we are to live to see Old Louisville's full potential, as property owners,...we will have to take the "bull by the horns". In years past, after the Second Street Association installed decorative street lights, I recommended after another association was going to spend thier money on fighting airport expansion, that it would better be spent on the same. To my delight, it was done and other associations followed suit. This really helped to bring out more "flavor" to Old Louisville in whole. It also shows that instead of several associations, we need to form an Old Louisville association. One association rather than several. This way we can pool our resourses and have a strong political voice. Don't like the trash....lobby our alderman Don't like the crime...lobby our alderman Ideas for public improvments....lobby our alderman Ideas for development..lobby our alderman. Ideas for our own security force...(another subject) Ideas for marketing our neighborhood.....you get the idea. If the government doesn't listen or care(pretty obvious), we can market the area ourselves. This wonderful website is a perfect example, but only the beginning. Let us be educators to individuals who wish to invest as to what they can expect from Old Louisville now and how best to develop it in the future. We can work together as a team or fight it out individually. Myself ,I don't want to see the neighborhood slide, and I don't want to feel that I wasted my life. We are at a tipping point, we can go up together or go down individually. If you would like to write to me and discuss ideas, csmonfort<AT>bellsouth.net
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Domine bluegrasspeasant<AT>insightbb.com ADVENTURES IN NEW KENTUCKY COOKING WITH THE BLUEGRASS PEASANT New Cookbook Combines Tastes and Traditions of the Bluegrass Louisville, KY (October 01, 2007) --- McClanahan Publishing House and Louisville author David Dominé are happy to announce the publication of Adventures in New Kentucky Cooking with the Bluegrass Peasant. The 184-page, hardcover publication features more than a hundred easy-to-follow recipes with corresponding beautiful color photographs and useful tidbits about Kentucky culinary history. Dominé, senior food writer for Kentucky Monthly Magazine and Arts Across Kentucky, compiled this innovative collection of recipes after years of traveling the foodways of the Commonwealth “in search of the perfect meal.” Although some of the dishes presented appear as new takes on old southern classics, most are original recipes designed to “utilize the culinary bounty that is the Bluegrass.” Whenever possible, Dominé features regional ingredients and locally grown produce to promote sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly eating habits. “With this book,” he explains, “I hope to focus attention on the incredible array of artisan food makers and unique local products that dominate the culinary landscape of the state, while at the same time recognizing the valuable contribution made by Kentucky farmers.” Bluegrass food-producers whose items appear in Dominé’s cookbook include Austin-based Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheeses, Shuckman’s Fish Company and Smokery of Louisville, Newsom’s Country Hams of Princeton, and Jamieson’s Chocolates of Mt. Sterling, just to name a few. In addition, Dominé (or the Bluegrass Peasant, as he’s known) flavors many of his dishes with a healthy dose of wine and spirits from across the state. “Bourbon is a natural for Kentucky recipes,” he says, “so I often include a dash of whiskey here and there as a way to tip my hat to the distilleries that have made much such a tremendous contribution to the culinary traditions of the Bluegrass.” Popular dishes that feature the state’s native spirit include bourbonnaised filet mignon, Henry McKenna baked chicken, bourbon bleu-cheese slaw, Elijah Craig ice cream, and raspberry bourbon shrubs. “Bourbon, like good cognac or wine, has a tendency to enhance many flavors, and it adds a distinctive touch to a wide variety of dishes featuring meat, fowl, vegetables and even fish and seafood, not to mention sweets and desserts. Given the recent trends toward regional cuisine in this country, this first in the Bluegrass Peasant series of cookbooks promises to become a classic for years to come. Price: $24.95 ISBN 978-0913383971 David Dominé is the successful author of two books, Ghosts of Old Louisville and Phantoms of Old Louisville – both published by McClanahan Publishing House of Kuttawa, Kentucky – and he also teaches foreign Languages at Bellarmine University and Indiana University Southeast. Dominé will launch the release of Adventures in New Kentucky Cooking with the Bluegrass Peasant with a public signing at the 51st Annual St James Court Art Show in Old Louisville on Friday, October 5, Saturday, October 6, and Sunday, October 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the front porch of the famed Pink Palace on St James Court.

I was born in Louisville and grew up in and around Old Louisville. I have asked before if anyone knows what building was on the South East corner of 6th & Main. It has been a parking lot since the 50's. I lived in that building when I was 6 years old. I can't find any info on it. If you can help please E-Mail me. Thanks. Louis. Prop421<AT>aol.com.
Why is it that there are so many white ,drunk U of L students trying to distroy the beauty of Old Louisville by trashing it during parties? Why does the Louisville Police department refuse to respond to these out of control parties ?
I love brink, I love original wood siding! However you do a disservice by stating things like Vinyl siding fades (to the degree and at the speed you state) and can't be painted. I own three homes, two are investment properties, all three homes have vinyl siding. One home was done 17 years ago and though it probably faded a bit, it still looks like new with yearly spray downs. In fact I had the house on the market for a short time and some of prospective buyers thought the siding was brand new. House #2, had ugly green vinyl siding. Contracted the painting out, the painter assured me with proper cleaning, that right primer and paint the paint will last for years. 11 years and the pale yellow still looks great, no peeling, nothing wrong with it. I spray it down once a year. House #3, I purchased about five years ago, white vinyl siding aprox 15 years old. We were thinking about getting it painted since it's boring white, but after spending 30 minutes going over the house my wife and I decided there was no reason to, it still looks very good. The only maintenance we do on our siding is yearly beginning of spring spray downs. I'd call "practically" maintenance free.
This is a very cool website. My family lived on Belgravia Court from about 1964 to 1966. I was only 5-6 years old, but my memories are very vivid. I distinctly remember the buckeye trees on St. James Court and the Shakespeare stage in Central Park. I remember that a couple of our neighbors were Johnny Randolph and Weird Beard, disc jockeys at WAKY radio. Before that, we lived on 4th St., right across from Central Park. The name of the building was The Park, which I'm guessing isn't there anymore. I also attended Cochran Elementary School in the first grade.
The Park has been recently restored as condos -- webmaster recent view
I noted with pleasure the picture postcard of Covin Cavin School, which was called Gavin H. Cochran or "Cochran" Elementary when I attended there from 1956 through 1961 when we lived just around the corner between 2nd and 3rd Streets at 218 East Hill Street and later on at 1900 South Brook Street over Sloan's Grocery. Then we moved to 1417 South 1st Street where we lived from 1957 until 1963 when we moved out into the county in Okolona after I had attended the 7th and 8th grades at duPont Manual. It was a great area to grow up in and we always had great neighbors while living in Old Louisville.
