I couldn't help but notice the letter above from the woman in Nevada. The Cherokee Triangle Historic neighborhood is a mess. Such a shame. I live in Atlanta, and have never encountered such visible neglect of a historic neighborhood, such as the once lovely Cherokee Road area. Shame on the tax free slum landlords. Shame on the Landmarks Commision. This is supposed to be one of your city's most prized area of living. I was in Louisville recently, and the garbage flowing on Cherokee Road is a disgrace. The ally behind Cherokee rd. is filthy to no end. The graffiti is appauling! Looks like the fast food establishments do nothing about their patron's litter flowing into the neighborhood. Shame, Shame, Shame, to the City of Louisville for allowing this Historic District to rot. I suggest the City collect / audit all rental properties for all of the losses in revenue. Wouldn't we all just love to live in a mansion and get cash for numerous apartment rentals? There is money to be had if your city would inforce these violations. Starting with the slum landlords, to the fast food establishments which contribute to the decay and value of such interesting old homes. I too considered moving to the highlands, but it's way too out of control. The mayor of Louisville? Jerry Abramson? Seems that your neighborhood is very clean! I'm so pleased I found this site. Thank you, A
