The folks over at 8664.org released today a few jazzed up renderings at what’s possible along Louisville’s waterfront. There’s also a video fly-by all through downtown and along the waterfront detailing just how great life without the 7th Least Wanted Highway slicing between the city and its river can be. It’s already smothering the grass at the Great Lawn and we all should know how destructive the junction will be to Downtown, but these beautiful visuals should help everyone realize what great potential there really is along Louisville’s waterfront. Perhaps most dramatic are the views of Shippingport and the areas immediately west of Downtown. The potential for urban growth and real city life almost feels graspable from the above view. As anyone who has walked the stretch of RiverWalk over in this area, this is quite an unmistakable transformation. And the numbers back the plan up, too. (via broken sidewalk)

Young Widows video for Old Skin. Directed by J.J. Johnstone.
This is how there shows look and feel every time you see them. Well, except for the people sitting down, that never happens.

I’ve been waiting to see this for a while. I’ve been in a handful of bands with Evan (guitarist/singer) and we were also on an indoor soccer team together (Buchino .. holllaaarr), so it is a little surreal to see a video for one of his other bands. If you do not have “Old Wounds” you should pick it up. Definitely one of the best records to come out of Louisville in years. Young Widows also has a split coming out soon w/ Bonnie Prince Billy.
