The six scenes are: the hookah smoking caterpillar; Alice holding her cat, with the Cheshire Cat in the background; the Queen of Hearts' frog servants; the Queen of Hearts; the Mad Hatter; and the White Rabbit. It's a beautiful mural and love the bright colors. It is probably my favourite mural in Louisville. [Yelp collections: Louisville/Indianapolis 2023; Louisville, KY 2023; Public Art]

Nulu is stocked full of awesome and beautiful public art works. Thai Alice and wonderland rendering has added to that. So detailed, specific and well done.

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. The mural consist of a pair of boxing gloves with its angel halo (I assume created shortly after ali passing) and the left wing being a butterfly wing and the right wing being a bee wing. Very cool and unique. While the mural never mentions Ali name or the phrase or is obvious what the message is by the creative use of symbolism. Overall a great piece and while it's not very large and kinda hard to spot on the side of a building it may be one of my new favorite pieces because of the creativity.

I didn't find the Garden but I did find the historical marker that describes the site and the…read morehistory. It is located at the corner of Bradley and Presidents. The marker reads, "The Grotto (D.X. Murphy & Bros., Architects) was dedicated in 1927 as a place for contemplation on St. Joseph Infirmary grounds. Two-story, half-domed, concrete apse is faced on inside with stones and rubble. Modeled on natural grotto at Lourdes, SW France, where Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858." And on the reverse, "Their statues adorned Louisville Grotto. Masonry walls enclose Grotto's Garden. Fourteen arched niches, since filled in, held mosaics of Stations of the Cross, events from end of Jesus' life. Dwane Beckhart painted modern replacements. Named state landmark by Ky. Heritage Council, 2001." I'll come back and look harder. [Review 20182 overall - 223 in Kentucky - 1159 of 2023.]

When you doom scroll, you come across many different places that are true hidden gems. Door To Nowhere, or Heigold House, is definitely an oddity and salute to the past. Some housekeeping, you know, things to know about this place. BE CAREFUL. This sits on a roundabout island with steady traffic. Be mindful to the traffic flow and businesses nearby (I parked at a nearby business off the road and walked over here). Be kind to the natural beauty that surrounds this. And most of all, be respectful. As I said, this sits on a roundabout with flowerbeds surrounding it. Whether you are facing front, as in looking at the front of the façade, or looking from the rear, please stay on the sidewalks provided. Take in the informational plaques as well. Built by Christian H Heigold, a successful stonecutter. Majority of the house was completed in 1853. Heigold was a master at stonecutting and completed the home with busts of Presidents George Washington and James Buchanan. Heigold was also a staunch opponent of the 'Know Nothing Party,' and anti-immigration political party and I would like to think that he built his house with all the busts was a big middle finger to those that were anti-immigration. This façade sat in what was known as the The Point neighborhood, which was favored by those that moved to the city from the New Orleans area. Once Louisville diverted the Beargrass Creek away from downtown, this place started to flood annually. Shifting people away from the neighborhood and then the Great Flood of 1937 happened. Slowly the city started buying houses and demolishing them. Ultimately using the land as a dump site. Then this façade was listed on the National Registry of Historical Places. Remained in that area which became Thruston Park. That is until a developer bought the land adjacent to this and build condos. They moved this massive beast, 70,000-pounds, across River Road to where it sits today.

I made my own free outdoor art gallery. Wow! What a powerful mural. Of all the murals I saw that day, this one had the strongest message. It is the work of a group known as the Art Cartel headed by Will Sieg III, who has lots of art all around the city as solo artist and as part of the group. The mural has a lot going on. It has a smoking gun and a dead black man on the scales of justice, with the smoking gun outweighing the dead man, a black power fist, the Statue of Liberty with her hands covering her eyes and the word "hope" on her fingers. She also has a BLM symbol on her robe and a peace sign, equality sign and a heart tattooed on her arm. This is one of the more controversial pieces that you will find. And with that comes some a-holes. The piece has been vandalized many times. You can see the red paint that has been thrown on it in my pictures. The pieces intent was to start a conversation that apparently some people refuse to have. Well, now that I am off my soap box. This is a masterful piece with a wonderful message and purpose. Even outside of that it is visually a nice piece of art that is very detailed and uses black and water to convey its message. There is lots of free street parking available to for you to get out and check out the mural. However, it is not a very long stop and you probably could accomplish what you want to in the comfort of your vehicle. If you could only see one piece of Louisville public art, this one should get the highest consideration. Definitely a must see of Louisville public art, no matter what side of the fence you are on.
