In the mood to learn more about the part of Louisville where I mostly grew up and was reading my copy of VIEW FROM THE TOP, when I wondered, where did New Cut Road get its name? I thought of maybe a family named Newcutt, or a road where a "new cut" was made through.
I actually spent my earliest years a little farther north, around the Euclid Ave, Winkler Ave, and Algonquin Pkway area. No books have been written about that area, however, and I loved the Iroquois Park area, too.
If anyone is interested in the history of the South End, the book I mentioned above, is wonderful and I love it.
