I received "Secret Louisville: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure" by Kevin Gibson recently and I really enjoyed this one., I find myself in Louisville a lot, and this book included several things that were off of my radar. AND, the copyright on the book is 2017, so it is a pretty updated book too!
There are the entries you might expect in a book like this (there's a shoe tree, stories about ghosts, and contested food birth sites). There are some great lesser known obscurities too, like a (staged) crashed airplane, lots of caves and caverns, and cemeteries.
Each entry gets a couple of pages, and there are about 100 entries here, so this is a nice book to pick up if you enjoy exploring Louisville!
