The next edition of Louisville Life features the unique Norton Commons neighborhood, a look at UPS and the history of the Thomas Edison House. The program airs Thursday, June 26 at 7:30/6:30 p.m. CT; Friday, June 27 at 4/3 p.m. CT; and Sunday, June 29 at noon/11 a.m. CT on KET2. Candyce Clifft hosts. First, Louisville Life visits Norton Commons, a picturesque new Louisville neighborhood. Viewers learn about the area’s connection to local television broadcasting history. Next, the program features Louisville’s largest employer, UPS, and how the global freight company is attracting and training its growing local workforce. Then, Louisville Life visits the Thomas Edison House, located in historic Butchertown. The neighborhood has been known as the center of meat production in the city for more than 200 years, but it was also home to the shotgun duplex Edison called home during the time he lived and worked as a telegraph operator in Louisville. Edison’s cottage was built around 1850, and only the most basic accommodations would have been available for the inventor. Some of the interesting artifacts at the house include both cylinder and disc phonographs and an Edison Kinetoscope, the first home motion picture projector. Then, Candyce meets a woman who is “married” to the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown movement. Mayor Jerry Abramson’s wife, Madeline, visits the Louisville Life studio to discuss her healthy life in Louisville. Finally, viewers learn about chemist Dr. Harvey A. Wiley, a local man who became the father of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Louisville Life is a KET production, produced and directed by Gary Pahler. Jayne McClew is content producer; associate producer is Kelli Brodersen. More information about Louisville Life, including streaming video, is available at www.ket.org/loulife.
