2-Community+Context

Their property is located in an old neighborhood in the South End of Louisville near Iroquois Park. As my father recalls, the land had been mostly farmland when he was a child and houses have popped up over the years producing a typical subdivision of houses in neat little rows with slightly skewed property lines in the backyards due to a few neighborly squabbles in the past. As the larger land owners of the past have grown much older and sold their properties, the neighborhood population has been transformed into a cultural potpourri which includes Traditional Americans, Cubans, Bosnians, Mexicans, etc.

A little further east just across New Cut Road and the dominant ethnic population becomes Asian while to the north you can expect to find African Americans at the forefront. This ethnic population is also clearly defined by the variety of cultural food markets, types of stores and places of worship for specific ethnicities as you drive through the area.
