Kentucky.... specifically Louisville...south or midwest? (Richmond, Liberty: appointed, buying, stores)

Here is something that I just remembered and forgive me if this has already been mentioned. Speaking of Louisville's "Gateway to the South" slogan, has anyone ever driven into Tennessee via I-24? In Clarksville, TN (around exit 4, I think) there is a huge water tower which has "Gateway to the NEW South" painted on it. I think that the word "new" is even in italics and under-lined. Any thoughts?

You are correct I use to drive through Clarksville nearly everyday and it's there.

because most are hoping the subject will die out?
(yes, I did vote and now wish I hadn't...it's ridiculous that this subject has gone on for twelve pages, and of course I'm contributing to it now, LOL)...

lol well I figured that the other one would be more satisfactory because of the more options. Oh, well. It's obvious that no one is going to see eye to eye but it's pointless to worry about it.

So then what does that make Louisville the Old South

[missymomof3]

Louisville where did you get the info on SW Jefferson County? I can't find it and would like to learn more.

I friend posted it a while back on Skyscrapercity. Yeah I meant to ask him the exact same question he had posted it.

There is no way to rig one of these polls,

This is an internet Poll, not a presidential election. A classical example of one of these polls being rigged was the CNN poll regaurding interacial proms, and a few Stormfront members alerted the board of this poll and bombarted it with their twisted views on race. You stated that you didn't play close attention to the poll, well I did, and with the circumstances surrounding it can only lead any logical person to be suspicious. So with that said it's dropped.

If anything, I have noted several forumers who you sent PM messages and coaxed them to vote for Louisville being southern.

But when? It certainly didn't happen when it was the vast majority of the voters, but when it was obvious something funny had happened.

Honestly, I have not seen a person on here who would even care enough to do such a thing.

LOL

Two of the people you PM'ed sent me personal complaints via PM, as they have no interest in receiving such spam mail.

I know one of them is SmerkyGirl, and to her please forgive if I horribly offended you in any way shape or form.

I suggest you just drop this stuff.

Consider it dropped.

I actually think Louisville could perhaps use such a gimmick to brand itself. The city just came up with a new slogan "Do something original," and is about to target several states with aggresive marketing campaigns.

It is true, Louisville once had a sign that read "Gateway to the South" on top of the LG&E substation that sits downtown at 2nd and river road in the 1930s. Now that this complex is being torn down for a new arena, I think it could be pretty cool to erect a retro looking sign on top of the arena with the same slogan. While Louisville is certainly not entirely southern, its a nice gimmick and certainly helps us brand ourselves with northern tourists.
