I found this in an old e-mail file. Our friend Ed may have forgotten sending it to me roughly three years ago.
From "Lonely Planet USA" (1st Edition, March 1999):
"Adjacent New Albany (opposite Louisville), the only Indiana town of any size in the region, doesn't have much to recommend it, and bypassing it is not a bad idea."
Yet again, proof that two decades of promoting New Albany as "Slum Lord Capital of Indiana" just hasn't enhanced the tourist trade.

Oh you never forget, do you? I have been using the Lonely Planet guide books for a number of years for traveling and they are usually correct 99.9% of the time. When will we get that Foghat,Deep Purple or Uriah Heep reunion tour concert at the Trinle Dome? Maybe in Frank Burns' 2nd term?
Two founding members of Foghat have died, and one from Uriah Heep; Deep Purple is still going strong with the 8th or 9th lineup, and will be playing the Louisville Palace in June.
And Bob Trinkle wouldn't know taste if it kneecapped him, IRA style.
I guess Syd Lewiston has front row seats for the Deep Purple show?
No kidding, when we lived at 713 East Market back in the 90's, they actually used to have some pretty good entertainment at the T'Dome. One of the best was the Cincinnati Symphony. The flood wall was packed all the way down to the 6th street crossing and up almost to the Sherman Minton.
Those days are way past gone I'm afraid. Someone had vision back then; pre-gambling boat vote.
