HISTORY: Jockey Oliver Lewis Won the 1st Kentucky Derby 147 Years Ago (LISTEN)
by Lori Lakin Hutcherson (@lakinhutcherson) In the wake of the recent Kentucky Derby upset, today we take a brief look at Oliver Lewis, the jockey who won the very first Derby, and the history of Black jockeys at the event. To read about it, read on. To hear about it, press PLAY:
It sounds like Roadrunner Video had a few locations in the Louisville, KY area. But I can’t seem to hunt down that address. Some kind Samaritan posted a commercial on Youtube.
For those of you who have never been to the American south, you should know that there are drive through liquor stores here.
A surprising number of them are shaped like barns.
This contributed to my culture shock when I came to Texas.
Well I didn’t know these existed before I moved here and I thought it was neat.
Just to be clear, most of America does not have drive through liquor stores. Most places in the world do not have drive through liquor stores. It is not at all like talking about gas stations or shops. Texas is weird. The place the person who made the tags lives is also weird, but they haven’t traveled so think their weird shit is normal.
In my life I have lived in Louisville, Kentucky and points north and west. They have drive through liquor stores in Louisville, Kentucky and I can tell you that having drive through liquor stores is Not Usual.
