Main Street Live

Main Street in Louisville, Ky. is a throw back to another era. It was the commercial wholesale hub of the city once. Cargo and goods from barge and steam shops would be carted and hauled a block or two from the Ohio River and distributed or sold in the city. In the mid 1980’s, this area started saw a revival which continues to this day. Not all of the buildings though have prospered or even survived. In the past 10 years alone, many of these old buildings have been renovated to become museums, offices, lofts and such. In an eight block stretch, I’ve been amazed at the changes.

Residential beauty

During the course of my visit back home and this wander across the back country of Kentucky, I was reminded just how much I missed seeing the stately old Victorian homes and public buildings. These are from Georgetown and Lexington, Ky.

During my trip back home to the Louisville area, I had the opportunity to climb into the car and wander the open roads between Louisville and Lexington. Lexington was the eventual goal, but with an entire day to myself, time slowed down to comfortable slices based on whim not a deadline. In part, it was pleasant exercise in photographing the beauty of the region I grew up in, and documenting any abandoned sites I happened to see along the way. In this same manner is how I’ve chosen to present those images, one post will be the lost and abandoned; while the next will be the normal and natural. The abandoned locations will appear in the photo blog [livejournal.com profile] abandonedplaces
