Verbivore
Verbivore was Louisville's first infoshop. Modeled on revolutionary leftist shops all over the world, Verbivore sought to bring Louisville's revolutionary organizations and people a centralized place to meet up to find out about happenings around town and the rest of the word. Carrying newsletters, pamphlets, a few audio selections, magazines (such as Anarchy or Z), and many books from AKPress and many other publishers/distros.
Sadly, maybe word never got around, maybe people were prejudiced against those that ran the shop, maybe it had a bad location (in an alley off of Bonnycastle Ave. in the highlands), maybe none of those factors, or maybe all of them... But forwhatever reason, the store didn't last longer than a year, and closed in 1997.
Volunteers/workers/whatever you want to call them that occasionally watched the store:
