Old Louisville murder mansion for sale. Cheap. [Opinion: The Arena]

1435 South 4th Street
Meanwhile, the murder mansion is on the market, and would make a lovely residence for some genteel family seeking to settle in the historic Old Louisville neighborhood.

There’s a lovely old 1895 Italianate mansion for sale in historic Old Louisville that you can probably pick up for a song.  With 11 bedrooms, 8½ baths, and over 7,000 square feet of living space, it was pretty much a bargain when listed for $275,000; and now it has been reduced to $119,900.  And—but for the fact that the cops recently found a corpse buried in the basement—should sell quickly.

An Evening of “Genius”: Wining and dining with biographer Justin Martin at 610 Magnolia [Books]

The Olmsted Parks Conservancy hosted an evening of good wine, treats and conversation with Justin Martin, author of Genius of Place: The Life of Frederick Law Olmsted.

It was a perfect evening for a leisurely walk.  Hosted a mere stone’s throw away from our humble abode in Old Louisville, The Olmsted Parks Conservancy’s Meet Justin Martin event provided an excellent opportunity for my handsome date and myself to enjoy a stroll through the neighborhood.  I’d imagine Olmsted would be pleased; his ideas of calming scenery, urban beauty and reflection through nature converged perfectly for our slow-paced, two block amble.  Mature trees drape their heavy heads over the sidewalks; a riot of foliage carpets our path.&nbs

Crime fighting initiative in Old Louisville appears to be a success [The Arena]

The crime-fighting plan of Metro Councilman David James seems to be working.

During last year’s political campaign, we interviewed David James—then candidate, now councilman—and asked him what he saw as the most important need in Metro Louisville’s 6th District.  His response was:  “Metro Government must also work to keep our streets safe and keep criminals where they belong – behind bars. Our neighborhood citizens must feel safe to keep their front doors open and stay tuned in to what is going on in our neighborhoods.
