Day 28: Mostly Louisville

A little trip across the border into Kentucky for about a day and a half. The photos in this post are all from Louisville unless I mention otherwise.

This Ceratosaurus is at the Penn Run Golf Course. I have no idea what it’s doing there:

The Concrete Lady in Clarksville, IN has thousands of statues on-site:

Lottie the Triceratops:

A giant bat at Caufield’s Novelty:

A relaxed Lincoln:

The former Rocket Cleaner rocket. It originally had animated neon rings on top:

A five-story tall upturned bottle pours bourbon into a glass below at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience:

The former Bernheim Distillery, a whiskey bottling plant, has been boarded up since at least 2015:

The former WHAS radio transmitter building:

A concrete hyperbolic paraboloid next to the WAVE TV station:

A former Frostop:

A former McCrory’s department store:

The two Dairy Del ice cream stands:

The Barrel of Fun ice cream stand:

The Lucky Tavern is closed but this sign remains:

Al’s Bait House is also closed but this sign remains:

This wooden sign was uncovered in 2012 and has been preserved:

The Iroquois Manor Shopping Center:

Hauck’s was originally a general store — now a bar & restaurant:

This camera store sign in the parking lot is intact…:

… while its storefront sign has been adapted at least a couple of times:

The Collier’s Court neon sign and its taller/later/former Superior Motel sign

And lastly, the restored Teamsters Union Hall sign at the back of the building in its protective cage:

Back to Indiana for the next post.

Happy Trails & Happy Thanksgiving!
