While, in my mind, Pittsburgh has the others clearly beat, I'd put Louisville slightly ahead of Indy -- even though Louisville is smaller, it's got more 'flava' with the Ky Blue Grass thing -- plus, in terms of bigtime annual races, I'll take the Kentucky Derby (more history, culture) than the Indy 500.
I am not so big on either of the major races........ give me MotoGP
I do like Louisville. Sadly, I HATE Kentucky. The only time I ever visit KY is to visit Louisville or Newport; and always wearing my Indiana pride on my sleeve.
I think all of the cities offer something, these threads where people feel the need to tear the other places down to build one up is pointless and overdone. I will obviously boost Indy, but I like the others as well (except C-bus, never been). Indy has good urban neighborhoods and unique architecture, albiet on a small scale. Louisville does too. The Highlands are great. Old Louisville is great. But so is Irvington and Fountain Square in Indy; and Mt. Adams and Northside in Cincinnati; and Squirrel Hill in Pitt.
To say Louisivlle, Indy and Columbus don't belong in the same conversation is ridiculous. Perhaps in your mind that is the case, but people are choosing with their feet, and Indy and Louisville are both growing. (Pitt may be too, I don't really know, and I don't really care either)
The future is quite bright in Indy and Louisville!

That's funny, I only go to Indiana to visit my sister or go to Bass pro lol Other than that, I avoid it all together lol
Pitt has changed a lot for the better the last time I visited. As far as bright outlook, Louisville is trying to make some very positive gains. Cincy, I've just never been a fan of. Indianapolis is as always making strides. Lucas Oil Field, the convention center expansion and new 36 story high rise hotel going up on the west end of downtown. The only thing Indy is failing to do and just won't is develop the east end of downtown. Sure you have lockerbie but it needs some height to it as everything is central and west.
The city of Cincinnati is putting over a billion dollars into new development with "The Banks" project, Queen City Square, renovated convention center, two new stadiums. On top of that Cincnnati and Dayton are growing together and will be counted as one metro area by the 2010 census.
Actually, it should be considered one metro area now.

Here we come with the Chicago hate for Indiana. I guess it helps them deal with their past as a meat-packing town.
I'm from KY originally and my parents are meat packers.
My dislike for Indiana has more to do with Indianapolis (where I have lots of family), Fort Wayne, and the miles upon miles of corn fields driving down I-65.
So it has nothing to do with me being a Chicagoan now. Indiana just sucks.
I think Pittsburgh and Cincinnati have the brightest future. So much going for them and population trends seem to be changing
Louisville too
