Made a trip to Kentucky over the Easter holiday, and that was a wonderful time. Good to be back to what was my hometown, which looks especially good at night. I have some more photos posted on my Photo Page, interesting city for sure. Went to see my oldest son and his family, and had a great time with them. Means a lot that despite all that has happened, they still have time for me. We had a really great visit. Fun to see the city as in this photo, which was taken from the Indiana side of the Ohio River. Its a great town and a most interesting place to visit if you ever find yourself in the area.
This is in Indiana, Schimpff's Candy Store, which is very, very old. They make the candy with old equipment (which dates to the turn of the century..that century being the 20th) but some very good stuff (known for their Turtles and especially the Red Hots). Jeffersonville is a very neat town, with a lot of very cool things to see and do.
Whole area is going though some changes, and yet through all of it, the more things change the more they stay the same. Like Richmond rather than tear down things they reuse them. In that regard they are much like Richmond, and less like Charlotte, NC which tends to just tear down and rebuild. Both ideas are neat, Charlotte looks pretty different at each visit, while Richmond and Louisville go though changes but keep a sense of what they had in the past.
This is the Indiana walkway to the Big Four Bridge. Not open yet, but supposed to be in May. As I said they resuse things, this is an old railroad bridge which they have walkways to (the Kentucky side has been built and open for a few months) The old "Big Four"Railway Bridge. I have some older photos being on that on these pages from a few visits ago, very cool (and free for that matter) thing to do. At any case, its a neat thing to enjoy.
