Just curious what was wrong with Missy's post? As an FYI, she was replying to a forumer, martylonleela, who has come on to our forum very abrubtly, and rudely. She has made rude attacks, and called people here "clueless southerners" and many names. So that is why she got the reaction she did from Missy. Frankly, that forumer has made a fool of herself calling us names and using blatantly incorrect grammar. I could have erased her posts but sometimes these types of unfriendly forumers must be exposed. Also, to be blunt, if you walk into anywhere in KY saying "we had this back home," many of the natives will not take to kindly about it. This is coming from a guy who has traveled the world and lived extensively in several US cities, including the west coast. I have been in Louisville for awhile due to the friendly people and high quality of life. If the job market was booming more, I have no doubt it would be growing much faster.
I would be careful judging a metro area of 1.3 million people by a few internet posts anyways....
Thank you STX hun for coming to my side It is greatly appreciated!

I too applaud you STX. Martylonleela displayed more ingnorance than the people she was degrading. Visvaldis must live in a part of Louisville that I haven't seen in my 34 years in Kentucky. As for his remark about the French: Louisvilles first "sister city" was Montpellier, France. With 23 years in the army before retirement, I too have been around the world. I have found no place I'd rather be than Kentucky.
Although I live between Radcliff and Elizabethtown, I have worked in Louisville and visit there often. I have a daughter and son-in-law (married 07/26/2008) who would live no where else in the world. Her twin sister also resided in Louisville before a traffic accident near Munfordville took her life.
In a related note:
My daughter-in-law spent her 47 years travelling between San Francisco and Lucca, Italy area. Until this recent wedding, she had thought Kentucky a backward and bug filled state full of toothless rednecks. After six days here, they are planning to buy some acreage between Louisville and Bowling Green. She was impressed that the Louisville area offered so many shopping and cultural oppotunties in such a small area. She also called the political and religeous climates "diverse". The friendliness of the people amazed her.
With a winery on Market street, at least three Montesorri schools, hundreds of brand name stores, and every cuisine imaginable, she felt Louisville and in particular Kentucky was a better place for her family than SF, Ca.
In 2005 I spent a month between the San Francisco and LA areas. I couldn't wait to get back to my little Kentucky house, the friendly people, and some changeable weather.
Some people can only see the bad in any place they are. I can find the good where ever I go. There is just more good here than anywhere I've been.
I just replied to it as it was the last one I read.
My reply was not directed at her, rather at the complaints.
I hope she sees this, as I did not mean to single her out negatively, just use her points as a spring board to my own.
I see it, thank you for your response. Too many times do we get people who move here and then complain about it and praise where they just left. Do your research BEFORE you move instead of being hateful and ugly to us when you get here (this is for everyone in general). We are not willing to change for you and if that is what you expect, go elsewhere.

I thought this was a thread!!! a place where i could express my opinions about this state (i thought that's what i was responding to) to answer some other californians question about the AWESOME (sarcasm) state of LOOOEEVILLE Kentucky. There is one thing to say you don't like it here, it is another to call people here clueless and naive
people here seem to intimidated by anyone who is not from her very stand offish and competitive if i must say, be you we (transplants) are not thinking about you really missy just showed it ,you have so much to say about LA I never said a dang thing about LA but as soon as someone makes a comment about loserville everyone country ,naive person here will get mad Once again, that kind of thing doesn't go over well here

THINK is the operative word hereI grammar if you did not learn as a child teach your children the correct way to says hair,here,there,car,nine,five,ok it's not cute or correct i have a 14 yo that wants to fit in and i sometimes here her trying to talk that way and i explain to her that is not proper english and not to speak that way and she does not do it anymore my family gets mad but i don't care but anyway caio [color="purple"]again, you have the gaul to correct OUR grammer.

Wow, this is the hardest paragraph I have read in my life. Some periods and no run-on sentences would have helped.
