LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 7.15 97 komenlouisville.org around in World War II-era motorcycles, wearing black-and-white tuxedos and selling sweets from the sidecars. They're the only people in town with Atlanta-based King of Pops popsicles (have you tried the banana caramel?!), and they've partnered with local bakery Sweets by Millie to make their own ice cream sandwiches. The idea was born three years ago at Nachbar (aren't they all?). "We blame it on the bourbon," Hamman says. The guys share an interest in motorcycles and nostalgia for the 1950s. "We wanted to bring a classic-type of ice cream service to Louisville," Hamman says, "instead of, you know, the creepy guy in an Astrovan." Look for them Fridays through Sundays at the waterfront this summer, and during happy hours at Nachbar, Outlook Inn and Great Flood Brewing Co., when they discount their treats. Also: offce visits. 10. Baxter Avenue Theatres. Air conditioning. 11. Deep Water Dive, America's tallest body slide, features a 12-story drop. Did we mention that this slide is at Kentucky Kingdom's Hurricane Bay? 12. The weekend before Forecastle, Apocalypse Brew Works hosts its own music festival called Poorcastle to beneft Crescent Hill Radio. Five bucks gets you in. 13. Darkstar Tavern, which used to be on Frankfort Avenue (the Craft House is there now), has been operating on Harrods Creek since last year. Motor your boat right up to the dock. Order fried fsh. 14. Do a little gambling at the St. Joseph Children's Home Picnic (Aug. 7 & 8). 15. Some of you still haven't seen The Big Lebowski. This has to end. And after you watch it, head to the Lebowski Fest and repeat your favorite line over and over again. Yes, it's OK if that line is: "Shut the [expletive] up, Donny!" (July 10 & 11 at Executive Strike and Spare). 16. The Renaissance Fun Park in Middletown has go-karts and putt-putt. 17. Picnic on Big Rock in Cherokee Park. 18. The Science Center is free one Saturday morning each month from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. 19. Jeffersonville built a beautiful park on its end of the Big Four Bridge. Cool your feet off in that water feature. 20. Renew your love of Louisville by leaving for as many days as your schedule allows. Then come home.
