Bygone Louisville stores/restaurants (Burlington, Bardstown: living in, shopping mall, safer)

Does anybody recall Lester & Mark's Deli in Hikes Point? Later it moved to Hurstborne Plaza but there was another deli there before Lester & Mark's. Does anybody recall the name of that one? Why did it close? Anybody know?

You can immediately tell whether someone is a Louisville native, and they're at least 40, by whether they remember the old Sears building in St. Matthews. And of course if they use that as their directional compass for everything in that area. "It's by the old Sears' building..."

This is my biggest qualm with Louisville...I got that way more a few years a go when I lived here. Having just moved back from traveling quite a bit more, we have met ways more transplants and get asked that question less.

From the ones who do ask it? I think they are more trying to place you into an economic bracket, and partially, to see if they "know someone who knows someone who knows you "

Your not correct. No one is "trying to place you into an economic bracket". We usually know people from different High Schools because of whatever reason. They may have been your neighbor at one time, your relative, someone you know at Church, whatever. When we connect and you know "that person", you've gained a new friendship.
