A balanced view

I would like to provide a balanced view to these comments.
First, the catholic school systems are prevalent and most do send their kids there...however many public high schools produce great kids with great educations.
I was raised there and my husband who is from Evansville lived there with me for 2 years after college. Yes, we moved away trying to find a better place and thus lived in Indianapolis, Seattle, Spokane and Denver. We are now going to move back and I would like to share why...
We are tired of living where people aren't friendly and you cannot beat the lush trees and flowers. The parks are second to none with vast parks for biking, running, frisbee, flag football, a cookout or whatever...maybe it doesn't have swingsets everywhere for kids, but free tennis is a huge plus. The world doesn't revolve around kids for Louisvillians. There is always an art fair and farmers markets are everywhere. The neighborhoods are filled with gorgeous homes and big trees. Traffic is almost non-existent. They have a world class theater in Actors Theatre and a good orchestra...people care enough to stop and talk whether you are black or white...am sure that racial tensions exist but you wouldn't know it from chatting with someone of color...if you were in any other city you wouldn't even converse....and I have travelled wideky so am speaking from experience.
If you need a city to entertain your kids don't move to Louisville...if you want a great standard of living as an adult and a safe place to raise your kids you have found it.
