For Valentine’s Day 2023, we made a map of places where our readers have made memories around Louisville.
We asked for your help compiling everything from Riverwalk proposals to weddings at Glassworks to making friends at UofL ballgames. Y’all did not disappoint.
Explore these local LOU-ve stories by clicking on the hearts, but there’s one love story that we just had to share:
“In 2009, my husband and I were visiting Louisville and we had already fallen in love with the city. We were living in Chicago at the time and it was getting harder and harder to live there. We were walking on Market Street when I came across a “Before I Die” wall that the Speed Art Museum had installed. It was a big chalkboard with lines where you could write your dreams, wishes, desires, etc. I grabbed a piece of chalk and wrote “I want to live in Louisville.” It took five years and a LOT of work but we did it. Louisville has my heart and I am so grateful for my wish being granted.”

Maybe the best love stories are the ones about Derby City itself. It has our hearts, too. 💜
