My story about Free Blockbuster is out on @courierjournal today. Free Blockbuster is an initiative a lot like Little Free Library, except with movies. Read about Kentucky’s locations here:

The last days of Summer on the Ohio from Turners on River Road. At left, #Louisville Water Tower Park can be seen in the distance toward the city. At right, ducks float contentedly down river.

Built in 1991 with reinforced concrete and standing at 549 feet, 400 West Market (L) is the tallest building in #Louisville and Kentucky, edging out the former tallest building, National City Tower (R), which stands at 512 feet.
The 5th ABA All Star Game, held in #Louisville’s Freedom Hall, was won by the Eastern Conference, 142-115. @DanIssel44 of the Kentucky Colonels led a squad that included @ArtisGilmore53 (on program cover) Rick Barry & @JuliusErving with 21 points & 9 boards to win the MVP award.
1968 featured new talent added to the @sluggernation bat brand, including SS Jim Fregosi, who in 1983-85 would endear himself to #Louisville as the manager of the AAA Redbirds, winning the American Association Championship in both ‘84 & ‘85 before record minor league home crowds.
A Laurel, Mississippi native, Kenneth Victor Payne came to the @uofl in 1985 to play for HOFer Denny Crum. He would be part of a #Louisville national championship in 1986 & a 1st round NBA draft pick for the @sixers in 1989. Congratulations, Cardinals Coach Payne, & welcome home!
19,487 fans jammed Freedom Hall on this day in 1984 to watch #Louisville native & Male High alum Winston Bennett’s (below) Kentucky Wildcats battle Moore High alum (#30 below) Manuel Forrest’s Louisville Cardinals. Although UK led at half, the #14 ranked Cards prevailed, 71-64.
The @manualredeye knew what was poppin way back in 2014 when they interviewed a very young @jackharlow at the beginning of his rap career. The #Louisville native will give the first of five successive nights of local shows this evening at the @LvillePalace.
On Dec. 19, 2014 RedEye sat down with then @atherton_high student @jackharlow to discuss how social media had played a role in his upcoming rap career.
Now a two time Grammy nominated artist, Harlow will play the first of his five show series “No Place Like Home” tonight.
On what is a dark and confusing day @uofl, with the university President and Athletic Director positions in flux, it should be remembered that #Louisville never had a more competent, loyal and tireless servant than @CoachDennyCrum.
One of Coach Denny Crum’s final recruits, Ellis Myles was a battler underneath for UofL’s 2005 Final Four squad & was the 2nd #Louisville player to record a triple double when he tallied 10 points, 10 rebounds & 10 assists vs TCU in March ‘05. We at EL wish him a speedy recovery.
