Dear Louisville,
When I left, you were frozen under a foot of snow and ice. Chicago didn’t have any snow at all and didn’t seem quite as cold somehow. I was impressed by all the new faces, the public transportation, and all the new places - Wicker park, downtown, china town, and wherever else. But it got old, and after a few days I was tired of the constant sounds of traffic and trains and I wanted to relax. On the way home I slept with the seat down and only woke up when the starting and stopping of normal traffic stirred me. From my position I could only see the top story or two of houses and thought, “What a pretty city! I wonder where Ben pulled over to get gas.” When I sat up it was my very own Old Louisville. I got out of the car to discover that you had somehow managed to melt a foot of snow in a matter of days and that it was nearly sixty outside. I walked inside to find light streaming into my cheap, beautiful, big apartment and was struck by how quiet and peaceful it was. I fell in love with you all over again. I’m sorry I ever doubted you. It’s like they say, it’s not the size that matters, it’s how you use it.
Yours Truly,
Sarah Davis
