louisville, KY: where the wifi’s slower than the bourbon but the views are sharper
louisville smells like old bourbon and wet pavement. i just checked and it’s 18.19°c-ideal for pretending to work on my laptop while people behind me pretend to be farmers at the heineken brewery. feels like 16.95? whatever. i used the ‘preset weather’ body lotion from the airbnb’s bathroom counter anyway.
the neighbors? some guy named dave strumming a pickup truck horn at 6am, but hey, i’ve heard rumors that’s just the raccoons. if you get bored, lewisburg or grotte are just a short drive away. they’ve got corn mazes. not sure if that’s a good sign or a warning.
worked from the bluebelle hotels’ courtyard. WiFi survived for 22 minutes before buffering like my life choices. pro tip: never trust free coffee that tastes like guilt. 🚨 the bistro cafemate? someone told me that’s just recycled regret. tried it anyway. 👇
walked over to the kentucky center. not the courthouse. the cultural center. or was it the convention center? i used 4 gps apps and ended up at a pawn shop ripping photos of mic mickey for $.25 apiece. vintage guy said ‘these look like they’ve got history.’ yeah, baby, they’ve got history. 🥯
ate at the egg & ISS café. (this is the third one! i kept hoping this would be the haunted one.) got a cloud server hash brown. sounds like a bad horror movie. tasted like despair stacked ontop of a biscuit. 🚖
ended up at the foot of the falls of the ohio river. pressure’s been 1025 hPa all day-no storm drama. just a quiet kinda vibe. someone warned me about the ‘swampy ankles’ near the limestone bluffs. turned out to be a guy trying to sell glow-in-the-dark sneakers. 🥸
