[ Feedback ] Reader of the year We just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share a picture of one of your youngest fans. Tis is Charlotte Pohn (18 months) kicking back in her car to catch up on your latest issue. Keep doing what you all are doing. We love your magazine! Emily and Justin Pohn Louisville See Change I just finished reading the September issue of Louisville. Did I miss the memo about how you were going to make some changes in format, headline styles, paper quality, the cover — in short, just about everything? And, it's all good. Te entire issue seems kicked up several notches in all the usual "departments" as well as the feature articles. Of the latter, I particularly enjoyed "Talk 'n' Roll" about my favorite WHAS Radio personality, Mandy Connell, and "Death in the Family" about the venerable A.D. Porter and Sons funeral home. Some magazines implement change for change's sake with no true differences in style or content. I read the latest issue with great pleasure, noting and appreciating all of the well-planned improvements. Ann Crane Louisville Bob Schulman, Carol Sutton, Billy Davis and Bob Crumpler. Schulman loved their martinis. Two other places I would have included are the Orchid Room at Stewart's and the Canary Cottage, once downtown and later in the 1950s and early 1960s on Lexington Road at Macon Avenue. Te former was the place nicely dressed ladies took their children for lunch during a day of shopping downtown; they made terrific tuna salad (and the recipe is replicated today by Miss C's restaurant in the Henry Clay) and hot fudge sundaes. But the service was very slow, especially for children anxious to eat and go to the movies. Te Canary Cottage, a fixture in St. Matthews, was the first place I ever saw Mary Alice Hadley's pottery, and when you ordered one of their generous and delicious Hot Browns, the game was to see which character or animal was painted on the blue and white plate, under the toast, turkey, Mornay sauce and bacon! We have Hadley pottery in our home, and often when I see it I remember dinner at the Canary Cottage. Do look back Your Eats edition's article "Te Dearly Departed" was a treat www.helpkosairchildrenshospital.com [8] LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 11.12 to read. I found one small error that most people won't even remember. Kunz's Te Dutchman's original location was in the 600 block of South Fourth Street, across from the Mary Anderson Teater and a few doors from the Loew's United Artists (now the Louisville Palace). It was very Germanic inside, a reminder of Louisville's Teutonic heritage, and near the entrance there was a large model windmill that actually turned. Te whole place was decorated with large beer steins and smelled faintly of vinegar. When I was small, the hamburgers I ordered also seemed to be drenched in vinegar. In 1962 Kunz's moved north to the 500 block, which featured a German gift shop. I had many good lunches there when I was a young (Louisville Times) editorial writer with companions including Tanks for reminding us of some of the great places we've enjoyed over the past 30 to 50 years.
