Highlands Bulletin Board
For years, this wall next to Twice Told Books was the place for Louisville hipsters to put flyers and posters, but it was locked away with a metal gate after Ray's Monkey House took over. Someone's paste-up Borat art is the only thing still left mostly intact today.
Ersel's Emporium
A good Louisville bar bet: ask the inebriant beside you who is pictured on the Guitar Emporium sign. They'll never ever guess that it's Ersel Hickey. Poor Ersel never got much fame, but his image lives on.
Giant IOU
As I've ranted in my blogs before, I'm of two minds on graffiti - having been both a graffiti artist and a property owner whose building was defaced by graffiti in my contradictory past, I take each example of this "art" on a case by case basis. I can't condone any graffiti that defaces someone's home, someone's place of business, or a historical structure. Especially when the work is really, really, really lame, such as this "IOU" tag is.
But I have to say, this one makes me scratch my head in wonderment: how the heck did they do that? It seems spray-painted but the letters are impossibly tall, and I don't think they dragged a scaffolding out there just to do this. I'm guessing they duct-taped the sprayer button down on a can tied to a long stick?
Stray Bunny
Early this morning I saw this white rabbit in the road on Washington Street in Butchertown. From its cleanliness and its calmness, clearly this is someone's pet that has gotten loose. Had it not been shortly after dawn, I might have knocked on a few doors making some inquiries.

The Galt House
The Galt House, downtown Louisville. One of my favorite bars in the whole wide world, Al J's, resides in that pedway that connects the two towers.

The Oleika Temple Strollers, 1948
Seen in an old magazine from the Oleika Shrine Temple's archive room. An act I regrettably missed out on.

Building, 17th and Portland
Originally took this photo for the Vacant Stores blog but I'm not sure what it used to be, or even if it really is vacant (they still have trash cans outside).
Missing Cat in Anchorage
Saw this sign on the Anchorage Trail near Lakeland. Pass it on and let's find this little guy. Go, team interweb.
