...hmm. I see by their poll there are nine folks answering they are from Kosmosdale. You have to love that name. Its like some UFO RV park or something.
LOL Kosmosdale is named after the Kosmos cement company

Like that Janis Joplin album: I got me dem old Kozmosdale blues again.
Oh Gawd, you gotta stop, y'all are killin' me...
Seriously, Kozmosdale is pretty big stuff historically speaking. A huge percentage of the concrete you touch, anywhere in Louisville, came from Kosmosdale.
And Dixie Highway too. It was the first north/south auto route, running from Canada to Miami. Dixie Manor drew people from several counties around when it opened. When it was built in 1954, it was the largest shopping Mall south of the Mason Dixon line. And later, it really pioneered the idea of using that sort of space for a 'medical mall'. Very handy.
Hey Missy, thanks for that link. I met this guy a couple of days ago at the little store on the corner of Pages & Dixie. I got up to the counter to pay for my stuff & realized I had left my debit card in my jacket pocket. I had three bucks and change in my wallet, and was about 75 cents short. The gentleman in back of me stepped up and said, "I'll get it." I tried to explain I just needed to run out to the car (don't you know that makes everyone in line very happy...)
Anyway, by the time I ran back in, he was coming out telling me I was covered. He said he wanted people to know what a nice place to live this area is, and I could just pay-it-forward. What a nice guy! As we were getting into our cars, he told me to check out his facebook page: I AM Dixie Highway | Facebook
I plan to do the Dixie Run. I think it's a great idea, and really want an 'I Am Dixie' tshirt.
I Am Dixie!

It doesn't suprise me one bit about the man behind you in line. We have some amazing people out here! Last Christmas my aunt was in town and was on the way to my sister's. She had left her purse on the back of her car and strewn all of her belongings all over the Shawnee expressway. Three cars stopped and helped her get her things and ALL of it was returned. Where else is THAT gonna happen?
Thanks for the link Missy. Interesting about the name Kosmosdale, I drive through there fairly often when I go to Knob Creek-pretty area out there with the knobs. DerbyCityDiva-that's a neat fact about Dixie Manor. I know there was a mall on Dixie that was like a smaller version of something like Mall St. Matthews, I'm too young to know/remember but I assume that was Dixie Manor? I know its been renovated.

That is where my Dad worked either when I was born or right before, not sure. My user name dixiegirl is partially due to me remembering travelling on Dixiehighway when I was a child. We lived in Louisville and had family in Etown and Bowling Green and then later moved to Bowling Green but still travelled to and from Etown and Louisville to see relatives. I always loved the name dixie anything...it said Kentucky and the south and one of my favorite places in Kentucky as a child. I love it that y'all have your own website, Missy. I haven't been a true Dixievillian for many years, but I still am Dixie born and bred.
