How well do you know LOU?

Name this Louisville Neighborhood
Neighborhood quiz blanked out
Can you guess this neighborhood just based on the street names? | Screenshot via Google Maps
Last month, we brought you this map of a Louisville neighborhood — spoiler alert: it was the Audubon neighborhood.

Most of you answered correctly, and said our little quiz was “perfectly challenging.”

This time, we’re turning it up a notch to see if you know Derby City as well as you think you do.

The simple instructions remain the same: based on the limited information in the above map, tell us which Louisville neighborhood is pictured. As always, the names of the area’s landmarks and major streets are whited out. See if you can not only name the neighborhood, but list some of those missing spots, too.

If you’ve figured it out, let us know.

From the editor
Outdoor theaters are nostalgic for me. When I was a kid, I didn’t really pay attention to the movies because I could barely hear the often-garbled audio. But being out with my sisters and parents was always fun, and I’m looking forward to making new memories — with better sound quality — at nearby theaters this summer.
