Posted October 31, 200717 yr Old Louisville is due south of downtown and centered on 3rd and 4th streets. It's home to the largest collection of Victorian homes in the country. This set mainly consists of the homes on Belgravia Court which is the cream of the crop of what Old Louisville has to offer. The sun was out in force that day, but despite that I believe you'll enjoy what you see. This is the only one which is not on Belgravia Court. This is further south on 3rd and it's amazing how just one block west the change is dramatic with a strip mall and undesirable characters. Some guy and this woman came out of an alley nearby and the guy must have been on crack asking us/himself? "Can ya' smell it!?" and went on rapidly rambling. That area reminds me of Olde Towne East where gentrification is incomplete.
November 1, 200717 yr Great photographs :) Weird thing is, go west towards the railroad tracks, go east past Interstate 65, and it is totally ghetto. And I mean scary ghetto. Old Louisville is rapidly gentrifying, which is probably for the best, and will hopefully spread west and east. I have a friend who lives on the eastern fringe and it is just now starting to creep out near the interstate. You can go a few houses down and find an abandonment with crack whores inside, but on the street corner will be a very nice diner. Did you venture towards the downtown?

And yes, I was all over downtown. I certainly wasn't expecting how good it was going to be.
