Mellwoods Fat Friday Trolley Hop draws a festive crowd [Visual arts]
All along Frankfort Avenue shops were buzzing and the local patrons, as well as patrons coming from other areas, crowded Frankfort Avenue Friday night. Even though the Light up Louisville Festival was taking place just miles downtown it didn't put a damper on the spirits of the arts festivities or the crowds on Frankfort Ave.
The little restaurants are nice and cozy, smells mixing in the air filled the night with delicious aromas, and shops were hopping. The Galleries were full of people both looking and buying that special gift for their families and friends.

The beauty of change [Visual Art]
In life, there are rites of passage that happen many times without notice or fanfare. It is a process that can be alarming or welcomed but always results in a change of identity. Artist Vadis Turner has beautifully captured this state of transformation from old self to new self in her new exhibition “Bowhead Down” showing at the Green Building Gallery, 732 East Market St. An opening reception will be held on the First Friday Trolley Hop, Nov. 4th, 5-9 p.m.
Murder in the streets [Visual Art]
On October 7th, during the First Friday Trolley Hop, I saw dead people. I am not a nine-year-old boy who hides under sheets and talks regularly with a psychologist. I am a rational adult woman who, along with 12,000 other people on Market Street that night, witnessed people wearing red full body spandex suits to represent the murdered victims of domestic abuse. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and The Center for Women and Families is raising awareness in Louisville.

It seems everyone is a budding photographer now that we have instant access to a camera whenever we want (thank you smart phones).
