Anyone have any additional information about this picture? This is a friend at work's Flickr page, and he wanted to see if anyone knew where this photo came from.. He found it a few years back on the web, but doesn't have any additional info.

Any ideas? or just a one-off found photo?

Glass heart of KY

About 12 years ago the wife and I where driving around Mammoth Cave KY, and there where these small shops that sold shards and chucks of colored glass in many different sizes. The glass was not manifactured for sale, but some byproduct of something or another. We purchased a smallish (11 in x 5 in) artistic looking peice at the time. Flash forward, we now own a house in Duluth MN and I've been pondering those small stores for awhile now becasue I think a rather large peice of glass (< 3x3 ft, which they had at the time) would make a neat lawn fixture.
Does anyone know if 1) these places still exist around Mammoth Cave? And 2) if they are seasonal (ie. driving down in November would be a waste of time). Bonus points if you can provide contact info.

(I already tried google, to no avail)

Things to do in Louisville when you're (not) dead.

Fun things to do in Louisville, Kentucky? Seeking suggestions for especially cool museums, galleries, theatre, cinema, people-watching, eating, walking. Things I'm not interested in, unless they're truly exceptional in some way: Bars, nightclubs, shopping.

Bonus points for places within walking distance of downtown. (My tolerance for walking is much higher than most people, so a coupla-three mile radius is just fine.)

I consulted this thread but I'm interested in Louisville specifically.

Thanks in advance!
