This Used to Be Louisville

Have you ever wondered what a building or location in your city used to be? Local author Kevin Gibson’s book, This Used to Be Louisville, explores various locales that contribute to the city’s legacy. From the old Sears building as a directional touchpoint to a frozen-in-time downtown theater, Gibson pairs these places with stories that inform and sometimes surprise. The book may make you wonder about the people who traversed these places a century ago. Ultimately, it offers a better understanding of Louisville’s history, culture, from major landmarks to neighborhood businesses and the Louisvillians who made them important.
