A quick stop in downtown Louisville turned into one of those places where I kept finding something else I wanted to photograph.
We were really only passing through, but downtown has a ton of personality packed into a pretty small area. The Louisville Slugger Museum is impossible to miss with that giant bat leaning against the building, and just a few blocks away you start seeing bourbon everywhere. Old barrels, historic storefronts, tasting rooms, and buildings that look like they’ve been part of the city forever.
I especially loved how much of the older architecture is still here. You can walk a couple blocks and go from baseball history to Kentucky bourbon to some seriously cool old buildings without ever really leaving the same neighborhood.
We definitely didn’t have enough time to really explore Louisville the way I wanted to, but this quick stop convinced me that we need to come back and spend a full day here.
What’s one place in Louisville we absolutely have to hit next time?
