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.

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
