Your Interview - Louisville Magazine

I’m Josh, editor of Louisville Magazine, and — in collaboration with Russell: A Place of Promise — we’re wondering:

Where in Russell do you feel most at home?

Below, you’ll find that question and several others about the neighborhood that we’re asking in anticipation of OuR Home: Russell Homecoming Weekend 2024, Sept. 26-28. You don’t have to answer all of the questions but certainly can. We want you to be able to say as much or as little as you’d like and are hoping at least some questions will spark something for you. Our hope is that you’ll answer at least two or three. When answering, the more specific the better.

If you have thoughts or questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch:

Thank you so, so much for sharing your story. — Josh

Would you prefer we use your name if we quote you?

I’d rather remain anonymous

Yep, you can quote me

We'd love to share back with you some of what you and the others share. If it'd be OK to get in touch, what email address is best?

OK, let's get into it: What would you like to tell us about your connection to the Russell neighborhood?

Anything you want to share about your answer?

Besides your own house — or the house of family or friends — what place in Russell makes you feel at home, and why?

What closed business or place from Russell’s past do you miss the most, and why?

What piece of art — a book, a painting, a movie, a TV show, etc. — reminds you of Russell, and why?

If Russell were a car, what would it be, and why? (If this one seems too weird, feel free to skip. We've just asked it before and have loved the answers from those who do have something to share.)

In one word (or so) — based on conversations you have with family and friends and colleagues about the neighborhood — what’s something about Russell that other people seem to worry about a lot more than you do?

And in one word (or so) — based on conversations you have with family and friends and colleagues about the neighborhood — what’s something about Russell that you seem to worry about a lot more than most people you know?

Plenty in Louisville needs mending. At the same time, some problems seem like they’ll always be with us. Can you think of a problem that we always seem to be trying to solve as a city but probably can’t?

In one word (or so), fill in the blank: In Louisville, is power.

In one word (or so), fill in the blank: In Russell, is power.

If you could change one thing about Russell, what would that be?

Next year at this time, I’ll know Russell got a bit better when I see .

And finally, we always like to include this space here, in case you have anything else you want to share — about your answers or anything else.
