To say this place is cool is a gross understatement. They have an amazing selection of architectural savage so if you are looking for doors or cast iron sinks and things like that, these guys have it and much more and prices are killer. I'm guessing that's their mainstay but what totally takes this place over the top is all the rest of the stuff they have. For a guy who loves crusty pieces with character that I can repurpose into something else, this is a goldmine. I found this place while in the area on business and one piece in particular caught my eye. A big old hand riveted tank. Sucker weights over 1000lbs. None of knew exactly what it was but that's just part of the fun right? Bought it on the spot after talking to the folks and owners who if you look up Uber Cool in the dictionary, their pics come up. They loaded that beast up and I drove 350 miles back to the KC area. Come to find out it's an old pressure tank that was made by Kewanee Boiler between 1905-1920. Now where can you find neat shit like that I ask you? Salvage Candy is where. I'm already planning a return visit as these folks rock and their selection and prices are to die for. Thanks Salvage Candy

Gaining new skills in a fun environment? That's a big "hell yes!" in my book…read more I attended one of Level Up Louisville's first classes a year or two ago -- a mixology class where I actually got to make cocktails in Copper & Kings rooftop bar space. And finally my husband and I got to take in new class last week -- "Monetizing Your Home with AirBnB." We had been thinking about maybe one day renting out one of the units in our duplex through AirBnB. This seemed like a great opportunity to dip our toes in a bit. That's really one thing I very much appreciate about Level Up Louisville -- the range of class topics. So for $35 each, we got spots in the class, which met in the home of a local AirBnB superhost. The dozen or so of us started with a glass of wine and chatting in our host's gorgeous Old Louisville kitchen. And then we went up to her AirBnB unit, which was an expertly decorated top-floor studio. Up there, we talked about a range of topics, such as selecting guests, fixing up your unit, deciding what aspects of a unit to invest in, what to do about problem guests, what permits you need, etc. By the time we left, my husband had an entire page of notes, and we had so much more to think about than we had originally expected. When we left, my husband even remarked how impressed he was and how the class was worth every penny of the $70 we spent. It's safe to say that this class won't be my last. One other quick thing to note: If you take a class, don't be "that guy," who comes in as a student but ends up taking over the class, mansplaining all over the teacher. We get it -- you know things. But if you're over-talking the host, speaking up more to try and answer other students' questions rather than ask your own, you are not helping. We didn't pay to hear you speak; we paid to hear her.

There are two sides to Artisan Alley, one is great art on sale, and lots of artists and…read morecraftspeople making everything from glass to murals. Photography, sculpture, ink drawings, let your imagination run wild. The other side to the artisans are the renting of art spaces and tiny business areas. They're often quite cost-effective, and a community of artisans has resulted in their various locations (and availability to enter during the pandemic is mixed and limited-- see their website). If art is beauty to you, you'll find something-- maybe many things-- you'll like. Be sure to check the website for pandemic restrictions before you go.

In 2017, a series of public art murals were added around the exterior of the building at 222 W 2nd…read moreStreet along the B-Line Trail. Five artists and titles have been identified in the project and additional art can be seen including Friendly Beasts' door which is painted, but not identified on the plaque mounted on the street side of the building. The first piece on the west side of the building is a brightly colored piece called "Unity is Community" by C D Culper. There are multiple human figures each only having one eye open. The faces also seem to have a second profile face obscuring half of the face directly looking at the viewer. The next piece is the "Entrance to Paradise" by Haider Ali. The small mural covers a doorway and has a beautiful mountain scenic painted. On the north end of the wall is the huge mural called "Wooden Wall of Life" by Adam Long. This piece stretches over several openings in the wall and is done in mostly blues and greens with images of twisted trees and roots that take on human form. Around to the north side of the building is another large mural with a rainbow of colors forming swirls for a background while additional objects seem to float in front. This is called "Sacred Journey" by Sacred Matthews. On the east side of the building by the parking lot is "Hive Mind" by Laura Brikmanis. It depicts a honeycomb with oversized bees crawling around. The art work is so precise that I am guessing she used a template/stencil to create the perfect geometry of the honeycomb grid and possibly on the bees too. It's a great collection of local talent and a way to check out multiple pieces all in one location. Note: To the north of the building is the Bluetip Billiards building that has a colorful mural of pool balls on the side and front. The owner of the business was unable to identify the artist when contacted. Review #2221
