The largest city in Kentucky, with 700,000 people and another million or so in the surrounding suburbs. You know that you're from Louisville if any of the following apply to you:
*Your "International" airport has only one passenger flight that actually leaves the 48 contiguous U.S. states.
*The in-state sports rivalry is paid more attention to than the national championship.
*You live in an area that occasionally gets considerable snowfalls, floods, and tornadoes... but has no real capacity to deal with any of the above.
*You pronounce the name of your city different than anyone else you've heard.
*You think the rest of the people in Kentucky sound like hicks.
*When you think "Kentucky" you don't automatically think horse racing or fried chicken.
*You ask your doctor for an allergy cure and he tells you to move.
*You've shovelled 10+ inches of snow and worn shorts in the same week.
*When people ask what school you went to, they don't mean Vanderbilt, Yale, or Harvard; they mean Ballard, Male, Manual, Trinity, St. X., Assumption, Sacred Heart...
*You know what the Bambi Walk is.
*You say let them have their Starbucks; you've got Highland Coffee.
*Your last ten vacations were in Panama City or Destin.
*You make an emergency run to Kroger for bread and milk at the first sighting of a snowflake.
*You've lived here for years and know the place like the back of your hand, yet somehow you get hopelessly lost each time you attempt a shortcut through Cherokee Park.
*You hold up traffic to let a motorist you don't know into your lane.
*You give directions based on landmarks that no longer exist or street names that have changed, but your directions never confuse any of the other Louisvillians.
*You have never been to the Derby, but wouldn't miss the Oaks.
*You think all the REAL hicks live in New Albany.
*You think the only thing Southern Indiana is good for is buying pumpkins.
*When introduced to another life-long Louisvillian, you spend the first part of the conversation finding out how you are connected. It's never as many as six degrees of separation - usually two or three will do it.
*You think a pervert is someone who would rather have sex than watch basketball.
*You can read about Rick Pitino in at least three different sections of your newspaper, and you either love or hate this fact with a passion.
*You think the rest of the world knows what Benedictine spread is.
*You think the rest of the world knows what a Hot Brown is.
*You want another bridge built over the Ohio River, just so long as it doesn't cut through YOUR neighborhood.
*Whenever an out-of-towner makes a comment about Louisville being small, you immediately jump on them with, "It's the 16th biggest city in the country!"

A city located on the very northern part of Kentucky. Also the only city that really matters in Kentucky, because Shelbyville has a heroin problem and Lexington is too far away and boring. Sometimes they like to say they don’t live in Kentucky and in an attempt to separate themselves will refer to the area as Kentuckiana.
Kids here tend to think they are hot shit, but forget that they still live in Kentucky. Especially if they go to the infamous private schools such as Sacred Heart, Trinity, Saint X, and Assumption. the only other valid options for public schools are Manual and Atherton, which is a discount Manual. You’ll find them around Bardstown road in the Highlands area or in the only two malls worth going to, St. Matthews and
Oxmoor.
The pronunciation is a local only joke that no one finds funny when they put it on shirts, signs, stickers, and coffee mugs. Louisville is pronounced (Lewl-ville) and no one will say it other wise unless they live in Indian Hills.
Our mayor? he’s okay. Our downtown? trash. Our pending gang war between east and west? could be worse. The rates for suicides in our school system? All time high baby. Our teachers? Underpaid.
Are you going to Louisville for Derby?
No way man i’m not going to get groped in the college kid pit, and i’m broke.

Where sobriety goes to die.
(I.E. Bardstown road, 4th street Live, the infield at Derby.)
Conveniently located in the state that gave the world bourbon, Louisville's bars stay open till 4:00-- Unlike its faceless neighbor to the north, where they mostly drink smirnoff at crappy local shows until everyone goes home at 2.

A major metropolis of about 690,000 located along the Ohio River in the Lower Midwest. This is also the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is the "Most Southern of Northern Cities."
We pass through and see the incredible skyline of Louisville on my way back to college in northern Kentucky.

Largest city in Kentucky. Well known for Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Louisville Slugger and Bourbon. Has a great art scene~ including Louisville Ballet, Mellwood Art Center, Speed Museum, Trolley Hop and more.

a town on the Ohio River, home of the Lousiville Sluggar Museum. University of Louisville, Jefferson Community College, and other colleges share this lovely city. Located in The Great Commonwealth.
I live in Lousiville, Kentucky. I am a fan of the University of Lousiville Cardnals, winner of the 2005 Liberty Bowl.

A Fourth Rate Shithole City in Kentucky characterized by high levels of poverty, a decrepit overall city, poor infrastructure and an even shittier school system if such can be achieved in Kentucky. It's main claim to fame is KFC, Muhammad Ali and shitty concoction known as Bourbon. The city smells like the southbound end of a northbound jackass because of the Ohio River Valley and pollution. Valley of the Drums a known environmental cleanup project is located 15 miles South of the city and it leaked into the groundwater. Therefore residents are often socially stunted and educationally challenged to make the phrase smarter than a 5th grade a real challenge in Louisvile.
Culture only exists if one of the green teeth Bubbas picks the stale food between his teeth and its pretty much a post industrial nightmare of stark buildings, shitty design, bomb cratered streets that sit unkempt while a billion dollar basketball palace sits empty 300 plus days a year because there is no NBA team only the Louisville Cardinals and a few women's team games and concerts for the rest of the year. Frankly, this place totally blows so much to make the Hollywood Madam jealous
Louisville is a festering shithole on the Ohio River that makes Cincinnati seem like you're living again in a developed country.
Louisville being so lacking in culture and people with common sense and intelligence is nothing more than a skidmark on the underpants of society.
