After all, we’ve come a long way since our first newsletter.

City Editor Sarah’s favorite stories:

City Editor Katie’s favorite stories:

  • The Great Ice Cream Debate: Dairy Del vs. Dairy Kastle | While this seasonal ice cream debate is longstanding, the article was one of my very first pieces with LOUtoday and therefore it holds a special place in my heartalso, team Dairy Del forever.
  • A sitting tour of Louisville | Back in February, our parent company, 6AM City, presented all 24 markets with a video innovation challenge, so I decided to take everyone on a tour of Derby City, sitting down. Watch the accompanying reel.
  • Louisville’s most missed businesses | I’ve been writing about Derby City for nearly a decade. I’ve seen a lot of places come and go, but it was really cool to hear + share your stories about what Louisville businesses meant so much to you.
