For a moment when you're walking along Louisville's West Main Street, don't be surprised if you're struck by a sudden Liliputian feeling. It is most probably courtesy of the over-sized baseball bat leaning out from near a building. Touted as the world's largest baseball bat, this carbon steel marvel is 120 foot (36.57 meters) tall and marks the site of the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory. What's more, it is the exact replica of the legendary American baseball player Babe Ruth's Louisville Slugger bat. While you can view the giant bat for free, a visit to the associated museum requires a small fee.
Surface Noise opened its doors to the folks of Louisville in 2016 and has been a local favorite since then. Touted as the city's leading vinyl record store, their collections include albums from various eras. It also functions as a used bookstore, an art gallery, and a venue for small-scale music performances.
