This city is charming. Fact. And its crush-worthiness grew infnitely when a local video producer
named Eric Stemen released a four-minute-long
time-lapse tour of Louisville, some 80 scenic
spots in all. A boat wiggles its hind parts down
the Ohio River. Shadows creep up Whiskey Row.
Clouds tear and bubble. Night settles into the
skyline, equal parts energy and romance. The
easy-to-digest details: Stemen captured more
than 200 hours of video on six different cameras,
then spent 40 hours editing the footage. It took
the 30-year-old more than a year and a half to
complete the project, which went viral in October.
A few local news broadcasts featured him. Mayor
Greg Fischer liked the video on Facebook. When
asked if he has another time-lapse project in
mind, Stemen mentioned an upcoming vacation.
He said he hoped to go someplace where the
leaves would still be changing. "I'm probably just
going to do time-lapse the entire time," he said.

"I noticed a shuttered and boarded-up
apartment building in the 900 block of South
Floyd Street," says reader Justin Willis, the
37-year-old Middletown resident and JCPS
publications specialist who submitted this picture. "The gate — metal posts with feur-de-lis
caps — was closed, locked and woven with
barbed wire."
