Pronunciation is key

LOO-A-VUL: "Yes."
LOO-A-VILLE: "Yes."
Derby is a big deal
No we don't go to the track all day just to see one race. We have Oaks on Friday, and Derby on Saturday. Both days are spent at the track watching multiple races and drinking multiple mint juleps and lilies. In fact, the Derby festivities last the whole week prior to the actual day. We have free concerts, a parade, and lots of other activities that last the whole week.
No, we don't ride our horses to school
And no we don't all own horses or live on a farm either.
Louisville water is the best in the country
There's actually no argument about this. Once you taste our water you can't go back to drinking tap water from other states, it's just not the same.
Louisville might be a big city but...
You run into everyone you know whenever you're. You'll see your hairdresser out to eat, or your cousin's ex-boyfriend at Target. It's never safe to go run errands looking like trash because you always risk the chance of seeing your 7th grade crush at Kroger.
When we ask "where did you go to school"
We're referring to your high school, not college.
Allergy season is all year long
You've never experienced a real allergy season until you come to Louisville. Not only does it last all year long, but it's also the most miserable one you'll experience. Bring your Claritin if you ever plan on visiting!
Don't forget about Louisville when planning your next trip because I promise I come from a pretty cool city.
