As a Brit I am pleased to say that Louisville KY is one place I have been – I have been to Churchill Downs and I spent 4 days at an Arab Horse Show in this huuuge arena – can’t remember its name now. I did enjoy my time in Louisville.

My cousin has lived there on and off for about 20 years. I can never get the -vul quite right when I say it! I’ve been there a few times to visit her, but not really explored what the city has to offer. Thanks for letting me know I should

Living here you find that we tend to make fun of the pronunciation of Louisville. We have mugs and shirts with all the pronunciations on Louisville. But Even with the hot muggy summers and the freezing cold winters. I love living here because of the wondrous change of the seasons. I love to see the leaves change in the fall the first brisk bite of winter, the blooms of spring and being able to open your windows after a cold winter and the first warm/hot days of summer. The changes are so noticeable that I would not want to live anywhere that was ALWAYS nice…because you just cant appreciate the changes when it is always nice. lol Just my 2 cents about the Midwest.

I know I’ve entered the South when the waitress or menu states “Sweet Tea.” And I think all that mispronunciation comes from the media screwing up the name of those bats all these years.

You make it sound inviting and interesting. I’ve added it to my list of places to visit when we get to the USA. Thanks to Cathy, we will be spending a LONG time in Arizona!

You’ll have to forgive me for pronouncing it “Lewis-ville” all through your post. I’ll have to work on remedying that. I’ve obviously never been there, or I would know how to say it right. It does sound like a nice city.

This is a great post. When Vance was playing t-ball Carl went to Louisville on business and was able to tour the factory and get Vance a bat there. The son of a friend of ours went to Louisville for school and he attempted to teach us the correct pronunciation, but I could never get it right. That brings up another funny story – when we lived in lower Alabama, I went to mail something to Louisville, AL and when I pronounced it Louie-ville, the postal worked was quick to tell me it’s pronounced Lewisville. You just can’t win!

I also love to visit Louisville. I grew up there but moved away 38 years ago. Work has taken me to 14 states in the meantime but Louisville is still my favorite – especially the old neighborhoods. And don’t forget the art, music, and theater. A few years in Atlanta have made me immune to the traffic but I’ve found that once you leave the interstates there is no problem (except for Hurstborne Lane, Louisville’s largest parking lot)
