Garden & Gun

WHY Louisville got a shout-out in the latest issue of Garden & Gun magazine.



WHY Louisville
Don’t mistake this tiny store’s name with a Derby City identity crisis (the WHY stands for the catch-all category “What Have You”), because the shelves are stocked with modern, sometimes retro-kitschy, Louisville-proud products. T-shirts from local graphic designers; posters, stickers, and merchandise from the annual Lebowski Fest; constant riffs on the city’s symbol (fleur-de-lis) and its area code (502). 1583 Bardstown Rd.; whylouisville.com

The Tumblin Downs is a game from the 1950s that consists of magical beans (aka "horses") of 8 different colors that race to victory on the majestic plastic race track. WHY Louisville was lucky enough to come across a batch of these and they are now on sale for $40 at the store. Each game is complete with 2 sets of horses, wagering board and instructions!

True story

HH: You signed up to post on the store blog?
AI: Yeah, but I don't really have anything interesting to post.
HH: It doesn't have to be store related. It could be anything. You guys are always sending each other funny pictures and crap. It can be a kitten hugging a duck, or whatever.
AI: Got it.


Here you go, Hillary!
