The Madness of March is running. The winged feet fly, the ball sails high And field goal hunters are gunning. The colors clash as silk suits flash And race on a shimmering floor. Repressions die, and partisans vie In a goal acclaiming roar. On Championship Trail toward a holy grail. All fans are birds of a feather. It's fiesta night and cares lie light When the air is full of leather. Since time began, the instincts of man Prove cave and current men kin. On tournament night the sage and the wight Are relatives under the skin. It's festival time,—sans reason or rhyme But with nationwide appeal. In a world of hate, our ship of state Rides high on an even keel. With war nerves tense, the final defense Is the courage, strength and will In a million lives where freedom thrives And liberty lingers still. Let commies clash and empires crash 'Neath the wreck of a victory archl Let our boys tread where hate is dead, In this happy Madness of March! —H. V. Porter.

We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. June Meeting We are going to learn about the award winning Thoroughbred Chorus and then be entertained by them. The Thoroughbred Chorus was established in 1946 in Louisville as a member of what is now known as the Barbershop Harmony Society. The men originally met at the home of founder Fritz Drybrough and then for many years at the Rathskeller of the Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. In 1978, The Thoroughbreds moved to the Old Lutheran Church building in Jeffersontown. It has since been renamed "Jim Miller Hall" to honor the late, great director of the chorus. They are a seven-time international champion chorus that is a part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Thoroughbred Chorus won the international championship in 1962, 1966, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1981, and 1984. The chapter has also produced several championship quartets including The Bluegrass Student Union, Interstate Rivals, Second Edition, and The Barons.

  • A History of Change: Fourth Street, Louisville
    A History of Change: Fourth Street, Louisville When one visits a major metropolitan city, its history lies in the facades of the buildings and how they are changed over time for many different reasons. Fourth Street in Louisville is a perfect case‐study example. Once the place to stay, shop, eat and work, stores such as Stewart Dry Goods which opened in 1907, Selman’s or Kaufman‐Straus were centers for family goods. Fourth Street, at one time, could have been considered a full‐day’s experience, shop, eat, take in a movie or the theatre. The Seelbach Hotel was developed by two immigrant brothers, Louis and Otto Seelbach. Their first hotel was in 1869. In 1903, the brothers built their landmark hotel on the corner of Fourth and Walnut streets. This hotel opened in 1905 and was described as having Old World opulence similar to hotels in Vienna and Paris. The hotel continued after the brothers died but it closed in 1968. As with other hotels in town, many owners were had. Since 2015, Historic Hotel of America now operates it through the Hilton system. The 1960s were tough times for downtown Louisville. As told to us on a city tour, a once vibrant place was being threatened by suburban growth and the rise of shopping malls. Demolition to many buildings also took place. To counter that, the city government decided to create a pedestrian area that tried to mimic suburban life, but as one put it, it also prevented parents from having access by car to drop off their children or park on the street.

  • Louisville's Historic Downtown Seelbach Hotel Plans an 11-Story Tower, and a Big Redo
    Louisville's historic downtown Seelbach Hotel plans an 11-story tower, and a big redo. Ben Tobin and Grace Schneider | Courier Journal Published 10:31 a.m. |Feb. 19, 2020 | Updated 10:04 a.m. ET Feb. 20, 2020. One of Louisville's most iconic, grand old hotels is in line for a major expansion. The Seelbach Hotel, at Fourth Street and Muhammad Ali Boulevard, filed an application with the city Tuesday to build an 11- story tower on the north side of the existing Seelbach annex wing and above an existing two-story ballroom addition. In a statement released Wednesday night, Rockbridge, the Columbus, Ohio-based investment firm that bought the hotel two years ago, said the upgrade also will include a "comprehensive renovation" of all existing guest rooms and public spaces. “This will be a transformational project for both the city of Louisville and the state of Kentucky,” Jim Merkel, Rockbridge's chief executive, said in the release. “By re-establishing the iconic nature of this historic hotel, we will shine national attention on Louisville and Kentucky.” The 150-foot tower will include guestrooms between the second and ninth floors, a meeting space at the 10th floor and a rooftop bar, which will have both an indoor and an outdoor space, according to the application. All told, the addition will include a little more than 30,000 square feet, expanding a facility with 308 rooms over 300,000-square- foot, 308-room hotel. The renovation will start after plans are finalized and capitalization is completed. The company provided no cost projections or planned numbers of rooms.
