HOW TO DO RAINY DAYS IN THE VILLE

Can you believe there’s such a thing as National Rain Day? It’s all designed to celebrate the essential role it plays in our lives. Well, there’s none today, but when we DO have the wet stuff in the forecast, that's just Louisville's way of suggesting a change of plans. Swap the picnic for a museum, trade the patio for a cozy coffee shop, catch a movie, or finally check out that spot you've been saying you'll visit "one of these days." Turns out a little rain is just another excuse to explore the city from a slightly drier angle.
