Bardstown Road, Louisville, Kentucky 1935 My Old Kentucky Home

This is kind of tough to look at.
This is the neighborhood where I used to live and work. Back then, there was a drugstore on every corner. The first building on the right is where our store was for almost nine years. It's funny how death and re-birth applies to practically everything. I witnessed several incarnations of this neighborhood, participated in one as a merchant. When I left, it was dead as a door-nail. Syd sent me some pictures recently that showed it thriving more than ever. He still lives right down the street.
