If Louisville is such a great place then why do so many people leave to pursue better opportunities elsewhere. Its almost like an epidemic that people leave here to find jobs elsewhere. Oh, thats because the jobs don't exist in Louisville or Kentucky to start with. You probably haven't lived in Louisville Metro area like I have for about 10 years and I've seen what some of these others are talking about. Just because you can't deal with reality, see my above post doesn't mean that Louisville is the end all be all. Your issue with my comments is because what I say is attacking the idea that you have of Louisville being a great city. Its not and the reason why it is not is because of the culture and society that exists in Louisville. I've did my tour, got the T shirt, and warning other people that they need to think twice about the Louisville area especially when it comes to jobs and common sense economics.

I lived in Kentucky and have since moved. I will be purchasing a home where I live now. Kentucky is not progressive at all. I am not a troll.

Our experience has been the opposite of yours....I wonder why the sour grapes?
Never lived in one of the bad areas of Kentucky. Ignorance is bliss in Kentucy. Come out of the dark ages. The entire state is backwards. Young people become educated and leave. Kentucky loses residents everyday. Take a real look around you. Your state could use alot of improvement. Just like the icon you people need to use your brain and not your mouths so much.

East Louisville. I chose not to live in the bad areas or shall I say the run down and crime infested areas.

He said "We donot want California people here." Claimed we did alot of partying. This was totally untrue. It was also ignorant of this doctor to say. Maybe that is why Kentucky is so backwards. The people are just not progressive thinkers. I never went back to see this doctor. I was definitely not going to allow him to give me a pap smear.

Hmmmmm..... seems like everyone is out to get this poor woman here in Kentucky

Lady, no one is out to get me. That shows you people do not use your brain. Some of the people were very helpful. Some just seemed stupid. I am kind and respectful to all. The school was even helpful in giving me information to transfer my daughter. I am just saying Kentucky is not the place to be. It is backwards and not progressive. Please, think before you post. When the economy rebounds fully. Kentucky will be the last to recover. Take a look around and see it for yourself.

No meds. Just a realistic thinker. I tell it as I see it. Never makeup anything. When I was there I never let people put down Kentucky residents. Many said you all did not have teeth and were barefooted. I stopped them right away. I did say the state was behind the times. No harm meant.

Based on your interests, a nice house in the Highlands is the obvious choice...politically, neighborhood, trees, great selection of restaurants, etc. Don't be pulled out to the East End. Trust me...the Highlands is what you're looking for. I would suggest spending time in Louisville and Austin to see which you prefer. Either way, winters are bound to be better.

"ABOUT US: We’re both liberal Democrats."

Keep on moving then. A majority of Kentucky residents have no interest in having a bunch of Chicago Liberals moving here and running this place into the ground. Kentucky is conservative and a very enjoyable place to live because of it.

Louisville is very conservative, yes, (even the Democrats are mostly conservative Blue Dogs) but the best thing for the city is liberals to move things away from how it has been.
