City View


On my wall hangs a gift from Faryl Edelen, the retired counselor from the Brown. It hangs central to my new home and I look at it from time to time contemplating that city, my time there, and how nothing is constant. Driving into work in the mornings, if I took the river roads, this is what I saw. The lights of a place that is very much alive. At times, I miss this view because it made many of my days in Kentucky very happy.

Jerry Abramson, the mayor, does a phenomenal job with his leadership and I witnessed change after change occur along the downtown landscape. Vision and creativity brought the city to life.

As Derby approaches (this weekend), I give a shout out to the town named after King Louis.
