TIDBITS

Dog of the Month

Downtown Dog
of the Month

Meet Blue, a 10 year old Lab, Mastiff, and Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Blue was a Spanish speaker when he was adopted from the Boulder Humane Society five years ago but is now fully bi-lingual. Caretakers Ciel and Paul say Blue has adapted beautifully to his new family, and his BlackPaw training allows him to go anywhere in polite society.

Historic Moments

This month in conjunction with the Historic Preservation Commission, we are featuring:

Thompson House

Thompson House
301 Spruce Street

In a community consisting primarily of modest frame houses, this house remains as one of Louisville’s largest and most elaborate historic residences. The house was built in 1908 and it was owned by mine foreman, John Thompson, Maggie Thompson and their family from 1908 until 1961. It is also known as the Robinson House.
