More from Louisville
Downtown Louisville, originally uploaded by snoopoz.
Here's a picture I took of the Louisville skyline last evening. This was across the Ohio River, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The only other time I was ever in Louisville was for the Kentucky Derby a few years ago, and when I stopped at the park where I took this picture, I realized it was the exact same place I stopped the first time.
I also didn't realize this, but the Louisville area is home to one of the largest clocks in the world. I learned this because my client used to work at the factory where this clock was located, until Colgate closed the factory and shipped her job to Mexico. Also, the clock was in Indiana, but only visible to the people across the river in Kentucky. Nice job on both those things, Colgate.
I took that picture a little around 6 pm, and shortly thereafter a disturbing incident happened. A man "ambushed" two police officers who were trying to arrest him, leaving both in critical condition. After a manhunt, the suspect killed himself. Lovely.
