New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Another idea far better than DNA's atrocious Come To City (aren't they all?): It's New Albany as the "Wild West Bank" of Louisville.
Previously I suggested New Albany be known as the "Right Bank" ... of the Ohio, of course, but I like this one better.
We're on the west side of the metroplex, after all, and no one grasps geography any longer, anyway. The Sherman Minton is the westernmost bridge.
A Wild West non-rule of law governs unregulated chaotic streets ... wait, there it is: "New Albany: Louisville's Wild West Bank."
To explain the photo: In Minneapolis, the Green Line light rail generally runs east-west, and so as it crosses the Mississippi, there's the East Bank and West Bank stations.
Puts "More to Explore" to shame, eh?
