The City that grew because of the Falls of the Ohio

The Big Four Bridge connects the Louisville waterfront with a historic neighborhood in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Walkers are rewarded with the views of the moving river, the barges and river boats.  At one time citizens could take the train over the Big Four Bridge to visit over the Ohio River.  Now citizens can walk or bike and enjoy a similar journey.  The central business area of Louisville is highlighted by the Aegon Center, the tallest building in the city. The Kentucky Derby Museum is on the property of the Churchill Downs facility at Taylor Boulevard and Central Avenue. The architecture of St. Louis Bertrand Church on Sixth Street south of Broadway attracts one's eyes.  Banners along the Louisville streets describe the city as Possibility City.
