Congratulations to Jeff Noble and Jeff Nolin for correctly identifying our last sidewalk photo as Oak Street looking west from 12th Street. Here’s a new sidewalk photo ready to be identified in the comments.
Also, beware some of the local sites below are running ads for the Louisville Science Center’s Dinosaur exhibit that play a very loud and annoying noise when the page loads. Such advertisements are, in my opinion, rude and the pages should reconsider showing such intrusive advertisements.

The last one on W. Oak I knew. This one I’ll have to guess. My guess is Galt Avenue looking toward Frankfort Avenue. That’s an area I don’t know as well as I should.
That’s Hillcrest Ave Between Brownsboro and Frankfort.
I knew Jeff Noble would have a comment already posted, but I never would've thought it would be a guess (that's a hat tip, Jeff). I don't know either. It looks a bit like S. Bayly to me.
I am pretty certain that this pic is Jaeger Avenue in the Highlands, facing west.
Jeff Nolin: Thanks for the hat-tip. I love these games.
I don’t know what street this is, but it looks like a great neighborhood to live on from the photo.
Yes, that is definitely Jaeger Ave. The house with the Tyler Allen sign in the yard is 1631.
This photo is 1631 Jaeger Ave. in the Highlands. I used to live there and just moved in January. Great area, great house and we miss it a lot!
