Just for laughs, this neighborhood. The corrupt city officials at the time bulldozed the old downtown leaving empty blocks and all those related jobs gone so the people would go to the new mall on the other side of town. That and depression from WW2 activity set this up. Kind of a 1.5 square mile Detroit.

The Iron Triangle is also known as a high-crime area and has become known as a 'warzone' in neighboring cities. (In fact, its name reflects that of the Iron Triangle of the Vietnam war era.)

If your son is still here 4/22/17 you should come in for Thunder. This is the official kickoff of the Derby. http://thunderoverlouisville.org/

Another very nice museum would be the Frazier History. http://fraziermuseum.org/

I think of all the distilleries Buffalo Trace is my favorite. But haven't checked out the newest ones in downtown Louisville yet. But BT will be hard to beat.
