All true.

Nashville... Just seems to be more jobs etc...

I'm from Kentucky but given the choice I would go to Nashville over Louisville any day.

What the heck, here are some pics of Nashville taken from Google Images. I'm sure censusdata will post some of his great pics of Louisville (or at least I hope so).

For myself I would choose Louisville

Nashville would be a close second choice if I was moving south.

Yes, simple but wrong. Nashville is definitely the better city.

This is a tossup. Both cities are similar, but Louisville is more like Memphis than Nashville. It depends on your tastes.
