Pinpoint: Louisville, Kentucky

Louisville is often known as the “Derby City” or “Home of the Kentucky Hot Brown,” but for me Louisville is more than that. For me, Louisville is home. Yes, we wear shoes. Yes, we have teeth. And no, we don’t know what the words “Speed Limit” mean. I may be a little biased in saying this, but Louisville is so underrated. The art culture here is incredible and continuously growing along with the coffee and food scene. (Fun fact: Louisville was named the world’s #1 food city by National Geographic.) Supporting local is something that the city runs and lives by. This only works with a city this size. I call it a small town, big city kind of place. Whenever I go into town it’s an expectation that I’ll see someone I know…or meet someone new. And no matter how many times they’ll redo the highway system or build a new bridge to help with traffic, it’s always home. It has a long way to go but looking back, the city has come a long way, too. I hope everyone has the chance to experience Louisville for themselves someday. It’ll rock their world.
