This is the river where grain alcohol turned into bourbon. Along this river distillers would load barges of alcohol destined for Memphis and New Orleans. To cheapen the transport, they used cask oak barrels. During the long trip down to New Orleans the alcohol would mix in with the wooden barrels and be transformed. New Orleans didn't know what to call this sweet new liquor. The casks were stamped with the county of origin, Bourbon County. This resulted in a new nickname being formed, Bourbon Whiskey, and the name stuck. The river isn't used for transport much anymore, but the history remains.

I think the listing need to be updated to reflect that different rooms of the house are being rented by different parties. A party arrived after me and began accusing me of using the house they believed they rented the entire thing. Also there is no laundry machines available. They are present, but in a locked area of the house. Overall, I needed a...
