Some nice folks there, but not my favorite place in KY. Hell, there's not even an interstate close by! To get anywhere else, you have to take a toll-roll (or one of our Parkways, as we call them) and drive through the middle of nowhere for hours. I got a speeding ticket on one of those Parkways. GRRRRRRR!!!

Come to Louisville! It's great! The island of sanity (sort of) in the midst of teabaggery!
