Interesting part of Kentucky

Louisville is so unlike any other part of KY, including just outside of the city, it seems like it does not belong here. Having lived here for 58 years I believe I am qualified to make the aforementioned statement. From the accents of the people to the culture, cross the line between city and state and there is a stark contrast. Not bad, just different. I just returned from a fishing trip in south central KY and seem to have returned from the deep south. The dialect was so different from Louisville that I almost needed a translator. As for Louisville; the city is not big enough to support any major league sports team, does have an orchestra, does not have mass transit, unless buses count, is large enough to have most major entertainment acts stop in or close around, has excellent medical facilities, medical, (with teaching hospital) and engineering schools, major sports attraction ( KY Derby), and several other good and room for improvement qualities. Louisville is geographically in about the center of the US and has rail, water, and interstate transportation capabilities seldom enjoyed by cities of this size.
