1/5 of them might be Southern Bapist, but 2/3rds of them are Catholic. I think it's more gray. Feels like Louisville has more northern influences than southern. So call the accent southern but it's identical to southern Indiana/ Ohio and most of the time you don't hear it at all. Whereas when I'm in Birmingham the people have much thicker accents.
Heard the accent all the time when I was there. It's an accent similar to the rest of the Upper South.
It makes a lot of sense. Baltimore is a Blacker city than NYC. However, NYC has 2,000,000 Blacks compared to Baltimore's 390,000.
Do you think NYC is Blacker than Baltimore simply because its raw number of Blacks is greater?
Are you saying Catholics as a percentage of the whole population? Whatever. I suppose you believe Louisville is a Yankee city and that Baltimore and Cincinnati are more Southern than Louisville. Completing your backwards view of pretty much everything.

The upper south.......or the lower midwest?

He's saying Louisville is more Catholic than Cincinnati or Baltimore, yet there are more Catholics in both areas. Doesn't make any sense. I've been looking up old threads on Louisville and many of them say the polar opposite of what is being said on this thread. That Louisville is a Southern city. And that Southern Indiana/Southern Ohio accent, of which Cincinnati is not a part, is a Southern accent, indistinguishable from Kentucky or West Virginia. I actually wonder how many people in this thread have even been to Louisville.
Yes, that's usually what we mean here on C-D, stlouisan. You've had enough accounts on here and have been around long enough to know this by now.
That's not my name. Whatever. I hope you enjoy living in the fantasy world that Louisville is more Northern than Cincinnati or Baltimore. If you honestly believe that, I hope you realize how stupid that is.
"Success in helping the foreign-born population start and grow businesses will be a big boost not only to the local economy but, coupled with existing capacities in entrepreneurship across the nation, may establish Louisville as the entrepreneurial hub of the Midwest," Kulkarni said in the report.
If we're going to stick to the "regions don't stop at state lines thing," then I don't see why Louisville wouldn't at least have an argument for being a Midwestern city.
Go away Matt. Upper South to answer your question. Louisville's accent sounds nothing like a Cincinnati or St. Louis or even an Indy accent. It sounds Southern. Quit taunting me. You're not very good at it.

THen you need to at least leave an argument for Baltimore being a Northeastern city, which you don't. The fact you would rather group in Louisville with the North before Baltimore shows me just how much you shouldn't be taken seriously. I'm from a Midwestern city, and I can tell you with certainty that Louisville doesn't belong in the same region. Enough with you and your stupid quotes. They are the opinions of people, not facts. Louisville is a Southern city that wants to be a Midwestern one, but just doesn't have enough of the criteria to do it. I suggest you go back to arguing for Baltimore being Southern. LOL I am dying..Louisville more Northern than Baltimore...no. Just no.
I'm from a midwestern city too, and I can see more than few midwestern influences in and around this town. You can't scientifically prove anything, anymore than any of us counter arguing can. It would appear that the Ohio River is an impenetrable barrier by which south and north and midwest very definitely end. It's just not that black and white.
