Getting around for pickups

Louisville is shaped by its interstates, including I-64, I-65 and I-71, along with the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265). TARC operates city buses, but most residents rely on cars to cross the sprawling metro.

Local buying and selling tips

• Derby season in late April and early May brings huge crowds; plan pickups around the festival schedule.
• Older homes in Old Louisville and the Highlands often have narrow staircases, so measure furniture before committing.
• Ohio River humidity can cause mildew on stored fabrics and wood, so inspect closely.
• If a buyer is coming from Southern Indiana, meeting at a busy spot near a bridge approach saves both of you a crawl through downtown traffic.
