Nice! I love when the pics are posted in a blog with commentary. This made me laugh, though:

I suppose every region of America is unfairly stereotyped by people who live in other parts of the country. I wondered how Oregonians are thought of in Kentucky. Are we all lumberjacks? Hippies? Computer nerds?
I bought some road food (don’t ask) and an atlas of all 50 states at a Kentucky gas station. As I placed my items on the counter the old lady behind the cash register said, in a Southern accent, of course, “Looks like yer gettin’ some travelin’ fooooood.”
“Yep,” I said.
“Where ya goin?” she said.
“Oregon,” I said.
“Don’t know nuthin’ about it,” she said. “Don’t even know where that is.”
At first I thought she was kidding. Then I realized she wasn’t. She didn’t even know enough about Oregon to think we’re all a bunch of vegans or geeks. And so I felt slightly less bad about how her state is thought of by people in mine.
I have all of these in virtual tour format, but can't show the tour because someone thought they were advertising as my unremovable logo was on the tours.
A couple corrections...that hotel U/C at the end of the presentation is not a Hampton Inn, but rather 317 rooms of combined Fairfield Inn and Spring Hill suites by Marriott, to open in April 2008. Anyways, thanks for your wonderful presentations on Louisville, census...I now challege you to get some pics of some of the other major residential projects U/C downtown like Byck's Lofts, Edison Park Condos, Phoenix Lofts, Legacy Lofts, Gallery Square Lofts, and the mixed use building at Shelby and Broadway, plus the newly renovated Louisville Antique Mall on Broadway.
