Louisville

Grace and I recently paid Emma an overnight visit.  It's a nice little road trip and it was our first time to see Emma's new apartment.  As has become our custom, we headed to the Highlands when we were ready for supper.

 

Impellizzeri's  boasts the best pizza in Louisville.  It's where the locals go.  It's the only pizza I've tried in that town, but I'd be hard pressed to go anywhere else.  It's pizza made the way that I like it--wood fired, thin crust, lots of herb flavor.  There is usually a wait to get into the place.

 

I am seriously drooling looking at this right now.  YUM!

 

My dinner companions. 

After dinner we drove through an old part of Louisville called "St. Matthews."  The houses in Old Louisville are so beautiful.  A lot of them are single family homes and a lot of them have been converted to apartments.  Emma lives in one of those beautiful old homes.  A lot of the apartments are occupied by students/grad. students.  Anyhow, Old Louisville is known for the many types of architecture.

 

This home is so pretty. I love the chairs adirondack chairs in the front yard.  Emma and I went to a street fair (huge street fair) in St. Matthews last fall.  We stumbled into an open house in one of these old homes.  Wow! The house had an elevator, huge curved staircase in the entry hall, beautiful wordwork and built-ins.  Beautiful.

 

Look at the transoms on the first floor and the 3rd floor bay window.  I also love the columns.

 

I've noticed that quite a few of these homes have courtyard backyards--walled, lots of flowers, strung lights.  I love driving through this part of town.

I'm planning another visit in the next couple of weeks. Emma and I will be hanging curtains in her new place--pics to follow!
