A Verbivore ad
Verbivore was Louisville's first infoshop, founded in 1997. Modeled on revolutionary leftist/anarchist shops all over the world, Verbivore sought to bring radical political and cultural ideas to Louisville. The store carried zines, newsletters, pamphlets, a few audio selections, magazines (such as Anarchy or Z), and many books from AKPress and many other publishers/distros.
The store was a hobby directly out of the apartment of the owners that turned into a drain on their personal resources, time, and privacy. After eight months, they decided to close down because too many sales were just stickers, buttons, and t-shirts.
