FiRST FRiDAY TROLLEY HOP Occasionally free wine and snacks. And free trolley rides downtown. A mid-week relief, a reason to go out and drink beer. A true hump-day treat. Art! From photography to paintings to a graffti house. Likes on Facebook: FFT: 451; WW: 1,210. Street performers. Staged on the Big Four Lawn at Waterfront Park. Next to the river. While the sun sets. Friendly faces. And plenty of lovely shops to duck into if you spot a nemesis. Exclusive to summer, a golden celebration of the season. Mr. Rogers' trolley taught us about imagination. This one? Culture. — Mary Chellis Austin — Anne Marshall 6.13 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 47
