Today
Louisville today has several businesses with strong Irish ties. Recently an "Irish Pub District" has been observed, centered around Baxter Avenue, featuring Dublin's Cellar, Flanagan's, Molly Malone's, O'Shea's, and The Irish Rover.
On April 14, 2008, Louisville became a sister city of Bushmills, Northern Ireland. There was a vote that took place, where voters could decide if Louisville, Boston, Massachusetts, or Portland, Maine would twin with Bushmills.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.”
—Alice Paul (1885–1977)
“Whether we regard the Women’s Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
“I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
