He started looking around Louisville after his Mercedes-Benz dealership’s location started showing a limited potential due to its restricted size. “The automobile business, pretty much like every business, has things that work for a specific period of time and then smart companies evolve,” Peterson said during a recent interview. “It’s impossible to fit 10,000 potatoes in a five-pound bag.” He also was convinced Old Henry Road and Factory Lane would be a focal point of this growth as improvements were being considered along […] Read more...

Bourbon comes home to Louisville
Bourbon is making a huge comeback in the commonwealth’s largest city, where it formerly had a strong presence. Louisville became a hub for bourbon distilling activity and distribution, and until the 1920s, as many as 50 distilleries were located on a portion of Main Street dubbed “Whiskey Row.” Kentucky’s native spirit played a huge role in Louisville’s early days, and is a well-known part of Kentucky’s history. Over the past 10 to 15 years, bourbon has re-emerged as a much sought-after spirit in the U.S. and globally. Interest in bourbon heritage is drawing thousands of visitors from all over the […] Read more...
