An overdose of nostalgia coming your way. We love these collections of old local commercials that remind us of the good, and not so good things in our local past. Some commercials had jingles that we’d never forget, even some that we wished we could. These vintage Louisville commercials show a snapshot of a city on the brink of truly understanding its charms.

Thank you to Augustv123 for allowing us to mine your collection. 

It’s that time of year. Happy Derby Folks!

Time has not been kind to the newspaper business. We’re due for a change. Support your local journalists, ask us how.
First Baby? No problem. Here’s a dose of anxiety to start you off right.
The amount of hair bleach was unreal in local wrestling.
The Pickles Pickle People Pick…Yep, we too are suckers for alliteration.
Who didn’t love Louie the Lightning Bug?
We’ll take any or all of these cars.
Whose dad is this in a pile of dusty sweaters?
Oh, Kid’s Club. That had to be an awkward day at school.
Some like it rough. Get your minds, out of the gutter. We’re talking about furniture. The rough room was very popular.
