How Do You Spell Possibility? C-A-R-D-S!

Possibility City Plays Five Pips
The University of Louisville Cardinals women’s basketball team has made its first-ever NCAA Final Four. And on Sunday night, at Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis, they’ll tip off against the Oklahoma Sooners for a spot in the National Championship game.

Give ’Em a Hand

Ambitious Bike Center on the Horizon

Louisville is getting a reputation for a city passionate about biking. I won’t lie and say we’re a perfect bike town but we’re doing good in that arena and are looking to do even better. Mayor Jerry Abramson announced yesterday the development of a downtown bike center aimed at carless downtown residents and bicycling commuters.

The center would be on public bus lines and have a kiosk with Transit Authority of River City schedules and information. And it would have a cab stand, where people could rent a taxi, Abramson said.

The project could include a coffee shop, possibly another small retail shop or two and a bike-repair outlet.

Abramson said it would include a “zip” car-rental business — designed especially for workers who perhaps have biked to work and need a car for an hour or two, to perhaps pick up a sick child from school or to keep a business or a medical appointment in the suburbs.

Abramson said the center might even stay open 24-7.

This is such an exciting concept and will make Louisville an even more bike friendly city.

Louisville: A City of Lasers, Lights, and Lemonade

The Best-Laid Plans of Possibilitators
Every now and then, especially in a city known for surprises, things don’t go — well — quite as anticipated.

For example, when we got our big-time like-nothing-you’ve-ever-seen-before hi-tech laser show ready for our road trip to the 2009 NCAA Basketball tournament, the folks in Indy pointed out big-time like-nothing-you’ve-ever-seen-before hi-tech laser shows were forbidden.

But we Louisvillians are nothing if not flexible. So when we got wind of the welling kerfuffle, we went immediately to Plan B: Blind panic, which was followed closely by Plan C: Improvisation. Specifically, loading up the wagons and lasering downtown Possibility City instead.

And because we’re also the kind of place that isn’t too stuffy to acknowledge we’re just as prone to boo-boos as anywhere else, we put together a little movie to celebrate our charming frailties. As always, you’re invited to watch it by CLICKING HERE.

Enjoy.
