The Next Door App is going wild over the special deliveries.
Mysterious drop-offs, with no real explanation. The Next Door App went wild in Audubon Park. We caught the incognito deliverer, in the act.
"In other places, people come up on your porch to steal something, here in Audubon Park they leave flowers," said the man of mystery now known as the "Flower Bandit."
His actual identity is a secret, but his mission is crystal clear. He delivers flowers -- like it's Valentine's Day or the day after your man got put in the doghouse -- to people he's never met.
Music is just the medicine people beat up by COVID needed.
Where words fail, music speaks. And it's just the medicine a local DJ knew people beat up by COVID needed.
It's been a while since "Deano Paladino" hit the airwaves. His show on "WYOU" sounds like something you'd hear on your grandparent's old radio.
But there's no spot on the dial where you can listen to it. The toe tapping, hand clapping jams the smooth DJ talks up are for a live audience only.
When the classmates said "friends forever," they meant it.
Think back to high school. How many of your high school friends do you still talk to? Dozens of Louisville classmates called each other "friends forever" years ago and still do today.

League Stadium in Huntingburg, Indiana, is where a lot of "A League of Their Own" was filmed.
When you think of sports in the Hoosier state, you think of basketball. One small southern Indiana town has always preferred baseball. It's certainly earned it's place in the history books of the beloved game.
It's where "A League of Their Own," a classic 1990s movie set in the post-World War II era. Stars like Tom Hanks, Madonna and Geena Davis were stars of the movie -- and so were many locals.
Filming went from July to Labor Day in 1991. It's no secret the movie was big hit when it was released in 1992 and continues to leave an impact today.
Welcome to Sellersburg sign becomes butt of jokes
The sign used to read, "Sellersburg: A town of opportunity."
Signs direct us, inform us, and greet us. But, when something is off with one of them, people notice fast.
Sellersburg Town President Brad Amos and the rest of his team thought a nice big sign along Highway 311 should do the trick.
