Not long after I moved to Louisville in 2004, these "Keep Louisville Weird" stickers started popping up damn near everywhere. After more than twenty years of living here, I can safely say that this city needs no aid or encouragement in that department. I blame microplastics. Was out for a jaunt along Bardstown Road recently when I happened upon this first scene. Had passed this very spot maybe thirty minutes before and there was nothing on the low brick wall, on my return leg I discovered that it had somehow acquired the unlikely combination of an empty shot bottle of Fireball cinnamon whiskey, a tube of children's toothpaste, and a well worn Mickey Mouse puppet chilling on a bottle of water.
Y'all will have to bear with me, I got lots of questions and nary an answer. Could almost call the place Camelot, but the nearest castle is an hour's drive away in Versailles (not that one, the one pronounced Verr-SALES) and there's not enough coconuts in the city to get us there.
As buildings here get older and more subdivided, they sprout an ever growing collection of electric barnacles. If left untended, they can grow and combine with the window unit ACs that live in symbiosis with subdivision to form abstract sculptures.
Do you have prophetic Corollas where you live? It's not exactly the most uncommon thing to spot a vehicle adorned with DIY messages here, usually at least vaguely religious in nature, but this is the first time I've spotted a bilingual prophecymoblie. Who else read it "Jesus is preparese coming be proque cristo prepared viene" the first time around?
Nixon's the one! Ol' Tricky Dick may be dead and gone but Hillshire Farms remembers.
Glad to see you still snappin' shots. Yeah, L'ville is weird and why the wife and I try to stay on this side of the river. We have enough weird over here :)
Still snapping! Get a bit overwhelmed occasionally and neglect to publish, but that shutter click rarely stops for long. Ha, understand that completely. Lol, I was a bit jealous when I saw the video of the drunk lady doing donuts on the courthouse lawn over yonder.
There is always some whacky stuff going on over here.
Yes, I read it in that order at first, too.
Glad to know I'm not the only one.
A Fireball shot, a tube of children's toothpaste and a worn Mickey puppet on one low brick wall is exactly the kind of weird tableau Louisville produces without any help.
Congratulations. Today's #monomad third place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
