I simply dont understand how they calculate Louisville's population? What cities in Jefferson County are not included, and what are their populations?

I can see Jeffersontown is one, and I had no idea it was larger than Etown...

Wow, Bowling Green's population has shot up there hasn't it?

Bowling Green will probably overtake O'Boro by the 2010 Census.

How sad is it that a 55k population equals the THIRD largest city in the state?

Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. There is a lot to be said for smaller town life. Big cities have big crime & big problems, I have had enough experience with that, thank you.

I was speaking of a lack of real cities in this state.

Warren County as a whole has a population of over 100,000 and I have heard that Bowling Green as a city has already surpassed Owensboro.

Shively would have to be another, Middletown maybe? Any area with their own governments.
