No Sitting or Standing

Saint John Day Center is a homeless shelter on Muhammed Ali in Louisville. I thought the signs by the door seemed rather uncharitable to the street people the shelter is supposed to be serving.

Crooked Door

Filed under: Kentucky — Christopher Crawford @ 2:50 am

This is the main door on the building pictured in the previous post Doors Within Doors. The door appears to have been set incorrectly in the masonry so that it is not straight up and down. I’ve seen a lot of old wood-frame buildings with crooked doors due to sagging of the building’s wooden frame, but this building is made of more solid brick and cinderblock.

Love You II

Filed under: Kentucky — Christopher Crawford @ 12:10 am

Here is another photograph of the sign I found on a church on Muhammed Ali in Louisville. The simple message is one we need to hear more in the world: Love You.

Doors Within Doors

I found this abandoned commercial building while wandering around Louisville last week. The doors intrigued me. The main entrance was installed crooked in place where another door was probably originally located, judging from the brickwork. The roll-up garage door has a smaller door inset into it, which I have never seen before.

The Original Church of God

Filed under: Kentucky — Christopher Crawford @ 4:38 pm

I found this church while walking down Clay Street in Louisville, Kentucky last month. I thought it was a funny name for a church in this part of the world. Maybe my history is wrong, but my guess would be that the ORIGINAL church was probably in Jerusalem, Israel.

Louisville, Kentucky

Filed under: Kentucky — Christopher Crawford @ 2:25 am

I found this building while walking down Shelby Street just east of downtown in Louisville, Kentucky last month. I was intrigued by the door on that old run-down building needing four locks. Wonder what was so valuable inside?
