Ads to sell 'essence' of Louisville



how would you sell the city?

Heck, we don't have to. The politicians sell it all the time.

My favorite (from the personal stories) is: "I haven't been carjacked once. Louisville is awesome." Now that's just (intentionally, I assume) funny.

Actually, here in Chicago I've only been jacked once...by the city. I parked on a street that was 'permit only' (I didn't even know they existed) and my car was gone. I thought it was stolen, but by the time I realized about the permit sign and tracked down the lot that had it, the lady said "Yes, we have your car....Oh wait....it's been crushed." I bet they are told to be nonchalant so you are just too disoriented to get angry. I remember responding, "Guuuhhh...so that's...it?!?!" "Yeah."

I couldn't very well scream my car back from the grave.

Are you serious????

Yes, indeed. In fact a year later, there was a Sun-Times cover story about this happening, and it turns out they usually don't even crush them--they sell them to towing companies for about $100. Even if the car was worth $12,000. Long live Al Capone!
