There’s never been a better time to support local businesses, especially when they’re making immunity-boosting, live-cultured, locally-sourced, nutrient-rich foods! The @pressociety headquarters are right here in Portland and they’re taking orders now for fermented delicacies like this nettle pesto and beet kraut. Hit em up! #louisvillelove
Neighborhood goals: make your worst spots your best spots #louisvillelove
Bloom like nobody’s watching #louisvillelove
Speaking of the Fouled Anchor, here she is in all her original glory, at various spots on our 19th-century iron fence surrounding the Family Heath Center Portland campus. #louisvillelove
Here’s an I-64 pedestrian bridge shot of our beloved Fouled Anchor by the always-amazing @stevegrider. What the heck is a “fouled anchor” and why would anyone want it to represent a neighborhood, you ask? Here’s a brief description from our US Marine Hospital website: “The seal of the Marine Hospital Service honors its founding by President John Adams in 1798 and its conversion to the Marine Hospital Service in 1871. The seal was designed by America’s first Surgeon General, John Maynard Woodworth, and features a caduceus crossed with a fouled anchor. A fouled anchor represents a seaman or boatman in distress. The caduceus is the symbol of Mercury and was used by ambassadors as a sign of peace. It is also associated with trade and represents the Service’s long relationship to merchant seamen and the maritime industries.” So yeah, we’re a little distressed over here. But who isn’t these days? We’ve reappropriated our bent-armed symbol into a badge of courage and honor, embracing our flaws and working towards love and beauty. Ahoy! #louisvillelove
Two of Louisville’s most prominent artists made headlines in our state’s two most prominent newspapers this week. Turns out they’re close friends, and selfishly, we’re also proud to mention they both have strong connections to Portland. Katy Delahanty and Richard Sullivan have been creating incredible art in our Dolfinger building for years now, and it’s been inspiring to see them both rise to national acclaim. Richard - a former Atlanta Braves pitcher who is now using his southpaw to wield a masterful paintbrush - graced the front pages of the Courier Journal again this week, after he painted the new bottle labels for Woodford Reserve’s special Derby edition. Katy’s Black Scene project - a collaboration with journalist Michael L. Jones, reinventing a 70s activist magazine that her Civil Rights attorney grandfather helped kickstart back in the day - got a front page story in this week’s Leo. Check out both articles and check out this photo of them looking ready to change the world. Aw, you guys make us proud! #louisvillelove
