Louisville

What's in a name?

Well, oddly enough, at Cave Hill Cemetery, there's a hill, with a cave.

A natural spring spills forth from this 246 ft deep cave. Standing upright, the cave could be explored for about 100ft. No, it's not allowed... There is a colony of bats that inhabit the cave. Bats pouring from a cave at dusk in a cemetery would be quite a visual.

This man, Harry Leon Collins, held a job I didn't even know existed. He was the corporate magician for Frito Lay.

This statue was sculpted by fellow Kentuckian and eternal neighbor at Cave Hill Cemetery, Barney Bright.
Grave of Colonel Harland Sanders, Kentucky Fried Chicken powerhouse, and his wife. In the these-people-had-lots-of-money part of this really lovely cemetery.  #kfc #cemetery

Tub didn’t drain and was ankle deep with water by the end of the shower. The bed was clean and comfortable. Fortunately, all I needed was a place to crash near the ...

The room was huge but it was obvious why it was so cheap. The tub had hairs that were left from previous occupants.
