E:veri 1000-2000 more people seem like a <br />> lot for a 19,000 -person town. I have a vision of our new library so <br />> crowded again that one still cannot find a quiet spot to sit and read. <br />> IF Louisville grows, where and how e~hall we do it?

Even with closed double-paned windows and earplugs, <br />> they wake us up repeatedly. They ruin contemplative garden clean-ups <br />> and attempts at relaxation on the' p<~tio. This issue was a surprise <br />> negative aspect of living in Louisville. It could be a reason not to <br />> retire in Louisville. <br />> A community for ALL <br />> Please edit out all wording which indicates that Lousiville has an <br />> orientation to any specific social groups or ages.
