I don’t think Louisville will recover. All the new downtown and Whiskey Row will be annexed into the west end from what I’m seeing there.
We haven’t been downtown in a while (which sucks, this is our favorite time of year to visit Caufield’s, only the best yr round open local family owned costume/novelty store of all time. They’re celebrating 100 yrs of keeping Louisville weird this year) Last time we were downtown, seeing all of the businesses with the boarded up glass storefronts broke our hearts.
