We all know that some former homes have been sacrificed for commercial endeavors. It’s not my utopia, but ok, I get it. The commercial development of one-time homes is done quite successfully in Louisville, Kentucky. A trip down Bardstown Road may convince you that if it’s done collectively, and filled with the hustle and bustle of people and desired businesses, you may actually find charm to this application.

It would be nice to see this former double on Talbott inhabited again. Word on the street, at one time, was that a late night coffee spot was going in here. Sounds like a sensible idea after a visit to the divas, dames, and dolls next door at ‘Talbott Street,” (and p.s. it’s Avenue!)

Let’s look at unused buildings as opportunities and start stockpiling ideas and suggestions that may be useful in a dialogue of moving our city and its neighborhood’s forward. Feel free to leave your suggestions here!
