FLASH BACK Louisville Magazine Vol. 24/No. 7, July 1973 On the cover: "Points for Louisville: Hot spot for moving merchandise." Yea, we got your rail, we got your air, we got your water, we got your interstates and we're centrally located. So why wouldn't businesses fock to Louisville? Inside: We indulged in a little city planning, suggesting ways to make Shippingport Island a destination. Among our bright ideas: an aerial cable car from old Main Street to Shippingport Island, a dock for those who want to arrive by cabin cruiser or canoe, an amusement park and a nature preserve. www.nanzkraf.com Outside: In the midst of the Cold War, the Soviets launched the Mars 5 space probe and, on these shores, former White House aide Alexander Butterfeld told a U.S. Senate committee that President Nixon secretly recorded conversations as Watergate started to go from trickle to food. Also, martial-artist Bruce Lee died and, speaking of presidential scandals, Monica Lewinsky was born. Question What's the best part about summertime? for a kid Addison, a local second-grader interviewed on the last day of school "Swim in a pool. I've been to the Y, and I've taken swimming lessons there. And they had a big, big pool. Like small kids and big kids and medium-sized kids, and they're all in different sections, and the really small kids. And then, um, there's shallow water and, um, deep water, and there's these lines in the pool and, um, there's like seven feet down at that end of the pool (points far away) and then, like, only like two inches over here." www.meritrustwm.com 7.13 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 23
