After spending majority part of Sunday morning continuously embraced by 16 Fahrenheit ice-cold weather and light wintry mix while walking around the downtown Louisville, I was more than ready to transport myself to any place with warmer-than-glacial temperature. 12 o’clock. Doors of “Museum Row” in the West Main District of Louisville were finally unsealed and visitors began to emerge from hibernation to hunt down bits of history that the city has to offer. I quickly checked myself into the Muhammad Ali Center, a six-story building opened in 2005, featuring exhibitions centered on Ali’s six core values on respect, confidence, conviction, dedication, charity, and spirituality. For the next two hours, the Muhammad Ali Center was my personal Eskimos’ Igloo, filled with fascinating multimedia presentations, 65 Fahrenheit, and much-needed restrooms.
