You ain't from around hyah, are you dawlin'? First off, it's pronounced LOO-uh-vuhl, not LEWIE-ville, or Lewis-ville. A very nice woman at the hotel gently corrected my pronunciation. The "honey"s and "dawlin"s and "sweetie"s will flow from the lips of the locals - young and old. They mean nothing sinister by it - they are just some of the friendliest folks I have ever met! |
Worth the Wait It took me two years, three hours, 165 miles, and one time change to FINALLY see "Wicked" - and it was totally worth it! I've loved the soundtrack for over two years, but the show in New York has been sold out every time I've been there. When I move to Nashville, I got a notice that it was going to be performed in Louisville, I bought a ticket the minute they went on sale. If you haven't seen it - GO SEE IT! I got goosebumps! |
Can't wait to go back! There is so much to see and do in Louisville - I didn't know! I managed to fit quite a bit into my little weekend jaunt, but I look forward to going back and staying longer to explore even more! |

Hi Mel, I go through Louisville several times a year and have only stopped once. Seems I am missing quite a bit here. Thank you for the tips. | Nemorino Sat Aug 22, 2009 10:37 UTC
Nice tips. I used to go to Louisville sometimes when I was stationed at Fort Knox, but that was a loooooong time ago. I often dine in trains, but have never dined in a train caboose replica. | DennyP Thu Jan 29, 2009 13:02 UTC
