Take the bull by the horns

Today marks the end of Aries season and the start of the Taurus month. In honor of this occasion, we’re bringing you a Louisville neighborhood for each Zodiac sign. Do you live in the neighborhood that matches your sign?

Aries: Portland | March 21-April 19

Known as the passionate and confident leader of the zodiac, an Aries would feel right at home in Portland. The neighborhood began as a rival town to Louisville before it was annexed in the 1850s — and that independence still marks the neighborhood today. Stop by Outsider Art Museum for a peak at the passion that permeates Portland.

Taurus: Old Louisville | April 20-May 20

As a lover of loyalty, you’ll feel right at home in Old Louisville. With its ~1,400 Victorian homes, the neighborhood has really stayed true to its roots. There’s a lot of history that’s taken place there over the years, but Old Louisville is still alive and well as home to one of Derby City’s great debates.

Today’s edition by: Declan

The good news: I tried Graeter’s new ice cream flavor, Bourbon Backstretch Cherry.

The bad news: It was so delicious I forgot to take a picture until it was almost gone.
Two half-eaten waffle cones of cherry ice cream

Seriously, it’s that good.
