On Saturday October 12th I took a delightful walk in Glendale, Kentucky. I walked for about seven or eight blocks and got a real feel for the community. I’ve been there before and made a video and taking some photos, but this time around I wanted to do it all in one take – no cuts, no editing; just me and my camera walking down the sidewalk into town.

Glendale look like a movie set.

Almost immediately I saw a number of antique shops and beautiful curbside displays. The street was all done up for Halloween and autumn vibes were in the air. For many, Glendale is known for its antique shops and collectors, as well as tourists, descend on the small town looking for hidden treasures. I strongly suggest that anyone visiting this community visit each and every antique shop.

Autumn’s In The Air

As I walked through town with my camera, I noticed a couple [antique] shop owners look at me from inside their stores, usually sitting behind their sales desk. I’d like to see these shopowners come out of their shell a bit. Next time they see someone filming, I think it would be a great idea for them to engage more. Whether the video gets a thousand views or a million, exposure is king/queen in today’s market. And if you can get free exposure, jump at it. On the flipside, maybe the shop owners want to keep the city a well-guarded secret. Who knows?

Lovely Folks From England In Glendale!!

As I walked farther into town, I came across a lovely group of travelers sitting outside the coffee shop. This is another cool spot in Glendale and it’s a great place not only to have a warm drink and a treat, but it’s a great spot to people-watch and get a real sense for the small city. The folks I spoke with were delightfully friendly and had no issue with being on my video. I gave them the url to the website and our social media handles. I really hope they get a chance to read this article and see the video. They were a big part of why I enjoyed my visit so much.

Safety First!

All in all this was a great little walk. I enjoyed it very much and plan to return soon for a cup of coffee and some antiques shopping! As always, thank for visiting ExploringKentucky.com
