The Seelbach Hilton is one of the Grand Old Dames in Hilton's lineup, like the Hilton Chicago and the Waldorf Astoria. This one was built in 1905, and through the ages has been graced by Al Capone, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Muhammad Ali, Paul Newman, and JFK.
I immediately recognized the building-sized portrait homage to the Colonel himself, here at the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken, but Diane Sawyer? Wellesley English degree aside, she was born and raised in Kentucky too.
My first time back in Louisville since 2003/2004 when I worked several months for Yum Brands. The work was good but those were some tough post-dot-bomb days. I'm glad that's history now.
