Book Signing Event at Mickey’s in New Albany
Thanks to the News and Tribune for writing about my book event at Mickey’s in New Albany. I started my career there and am so thankful for the experience. Here’s the text and here’s the link.
Local author Kevin Gibson will hold a book signing, Saturday, Nov. 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Mickey's Uptown, 624 Vincennes St., New Albany for his book "This Used To be Louisville."
Have you ever walked past a building or location in your city and thought, “I wonder what that used to be?” Well, if you live in Louisville, you’re about to get some answers to that question in the book.
From “the old Sears building” that continues to be used as a directional touchpoint to a downtown theater that has been frozen in time, you’ll get a tour of these places paired with stories that will inform and sometimes surprise. In the process, it may just get you wondering about the many people a hundred years ago that traversed those places in a completely different context.
Local author Kevin Gibson turned his natural interest in comparing present to past into a book that looks into a wide variety of locales that contribute to the city’s legacy. And when it’s all said and done, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of Louisville’s history and culture, from major historical landmarks to neighborhood businesses to the Louisvillians who made these places important.
Gibson began his career as a part-time sports writer for The Evening News in 1986, then became a full-time reporter in 1988. In 1993 he switched over to The Tribune as a sports writer and later features editor and columnist.
"The two newspapers that ultimately merged to become The News and Tribune are where I cut my teeth as a writer. I have so many great memories from covering everything from high school and college basketball to local government. But the best part is probably the lifelong friends I made along that journey. And, hey, southern Indiana is where I grew up. I only adopted Louisville later,” Gibson said.
This is his eighth book since 2011, including titles like Louisville Beer, Secret Louisville and 100 Things to do in Louisville Before You Die.
