Louisville Profile
Louisville is Kentucky’s largest and most prized city. Despite its size, Lousiville has consistently been honored as one of the Top Ten safest large cities by Morgan Quitno research company. The city’s beautiful skyline continues to change and grow with the population; recent additions will include the proposed 62-story Museum Plaza and 22,000-seat waterfront arena. The downtown business district is Louisville’s prominent urban hub; a glassed-in Skywalk spans six city blocks and links the Kentucky International Convention Center, Fourth Street Live, and several hotels including the Falt House Hotel & Suites, the Marriott, and Hyatt Regency. It is scenically set south of the Ohio River and southeast of the Falls of the Ohio. The nearby West Main District features Museum Row, where the Frazier International History Museum, Lousiville Science Center, and Muhammad Ali Center all reside. The Belle of Louisville is also a noteable feature, as it is the oldest Mississippi-style steamboat still in operation. Family fun is a priority for Louisville; they host the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, Thunder Over Louisville (the largest annual fireworks display in the country), and events like the Great Steamboat Race and Great Balloon Race. Lousiville Waterfront Park’s free concerts and festivals and Cherokee Park’s prominent landscape. The Valhalla Golf Club is the place to be for golfers, and is host to the 2008 Ryder Cup; don’t worry--the kids will have a blast at Louisville Extreme Park skateboarding while you golf. Sports lovers can catch a University of Lousisville men’s basketball game coached by Rick Pitino. As the sun sets, Louisville nightlife really picks up, and the Highlands neighborhood is the best known bohemian and night club destination. Whether you grab a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and head for a picnic in the park or choose to enjoy a sweet sounding evening at a blues club, Louisville, Kentucky is the place to be.
