Hey, Id like to know whether gays can live in Kentucky. Is louisville a welcoming place for gays and how is your attitude about those people. Would you respect me, if I live as a gay in Louisville???
I was born in Kentucky and I had a wonderful childhood there, but we moved to Iraq, and here I am living the most difficult days of my life in Iraq I miss her and I miss my life there .....
We get such a bad rap. It's a really safe city versus it's population. Isolated events between those who know each other are visible on the news in a negative light. I wish more people would be interested in our great city. It's an awesome place with lots of attractions
@@kentucky_native3974 Yes It Is A Great City, That's Why I Always Give My Shoutout To Y'all Every Time I Look At A Video On Louisville, I've Had Nothing But Great Experiences Down There & I Continue To Do So. 💯
@@kentucky_native3974 And You'll Be Surprised On How Many Of Us Cincinnatians Have Moved Down There, I'm Planning On Moving Down There Real Soon. I Love The Festivals, Concerts, Soul Food Resturants, Chicken Places & Everything. 💯
Moi je suis de France 🇫🇷. Je vis dans le sud près au bord de la mer Méditerranée. Grace à Google Earth et street wiew j’ai pu voir votre ville. Le climat est différent mais j’adore indian’s Hill et bellewood. Le kentucky est très joli. Le bonjour de Marseille. 🇫🇷
Easy to spot this as a tourist made video within the first 2 minutes lol. BUT! Still a nice video, helpful in my planning. Thank you! Also.. big thanks to all the locals who have chimed in on the comments offering additional info about safe areas and recommendations. Recommendations from locals are invaluable.
As a native, the best and safest places to visit (mostly downtown) are the waterfronts parks and walking bridge, the parks and restaurants on river rd, 4th street live and historic theaters in surrounding area, museums in downtown Market, the bars and restaurants of Nulu, Bardstown rd in the highlands, Frankfort ave and Shelbyville rd, Churchill downs, Cherokee park, Kentucky Kingdom, and the fairgrounds when they have events.

Downtown is not safe hundreds maybe even a thousand homeless people they walk around bumming and asking tourists for money they got her up in groups and post that corners drinking beer and figure out a way to get people for money they will even rob you they will try to store a conversation with you in the next thing you know then we'll be going into your pocket if you don't believe me is it regard yourself and find out
Hey, Id like to know whether gays can live in Kentucky. Is louisville a welcoming place for gays and how is your attitude about those people. Would you respect me, if I live as a gay in Louisville???
Good job from a Loo-a-vull boy (me). One fun place to go in town is the Frazier Historical Arms Museum across from the Louisville Slugger Museum. Local history and the only place putside London to show British antique arms on permanent display
It's awesome to go to the Louisville Slugger Museum. I don't go inside because the amazement to me is the childhood bat that Chuck Norris donated to them and is clearly seen outside leaning up against the building.
LOL your right I live in louisville work in Cinci. Can make it to Cinci in about a 1 hour and 20 mins. You learn the traffic patterns where to get off to get around construction where traffic builds up etc. Now the opposite can't be said leaving Cinci. Almost always get stuck in traffic at the 65 bridge trying to cross. Cinci is pretty dirty prepared to Louisville.
I wish I knew this channel existed & you were going to be at Churchill Downs. I've was painting there everyday till May 2nd. I could have placed a painter shirt on ya & give you an access band to check out the new area that was just constructed for this coming derby. Absolutely beautiful. An also might of been able to take you up to the 6th floor mansion. Where all VIPS go, absolutely historic pieces of derby memorabilia. Cool upload even tho I don't live in that state I do live across the bridge up in Indiana.
Very nice vid, next time you are in town come to repeal and ask for me. Right there next to hotel distil. We’ll make sure to give you the best meal of your life!
@@IslandHopperTV well I’m glad you enjoy your stay!! Thanks for all the kind words in the end with your final thoughts of the city!! I love Louisville! Miss living there. Living in Georgetown KY at the moment (which I also love) just like 10mins north of Lexington.. so still visit as much as I can
Few facts about Louisville-Lou-ah-vul, it has the most shotgun houses in the country, use to be New Orleans but Katrina destroyed a lot. The large bat outside the Slugger Museum was actually designed by accident, the designer just leaned a small bat up against the model leaned back and liked it. Louisville puts on one of the largest fireworks shows in the country, it is 2 weeks before Derby and is the official kickoff to Derby. Louisville has 17 Olmsted parks and 6 parkways. Old Louisville is the largest collection of old Victorian homes in the country.
I agree. When I first bought my house here in Louisville, I was looking at shotguns. High ceilings, no hallways (wastes of space), and small yards. The only drawback to me is that the cellar area is not very usable to me. But who doesn't love the architecture and cute rooms?
Thank you! I moved here at the beginning of last year. From Atlanta. I give my husband gripe that there’s nothing to do and we need to once a month explore Louisville. I have parents visiting next week and I definitely want to get some tours in. I love the riverfront parks in Louisville and Indiana.
Couple corrections from a local Kfc originated southeast of louisville in corbin. Frankfort ky is the capital, lexington is just the 2nd largest populated city. (Recommendation)Hit up louisville cream there in nulu. Best icecream in the city, on market. Downtown during day is not too bad. Churchill downs area is roughest part of city any time of day. Especially night. Derby festival has events for two weeks leading up to derby. Dont miss thunder over louisville. Pretty accurate review besides those couple things.
I've been doing some research because I plan on taking a trip to Kentucky. I'm a bit disappointed but the stuff that would interest me are: Mammoth cave, Corvette museum, Churchill Downs, Louisville slugger factory, and a Cincinnati Reds game.
Saw someone else say it but Bardstown Road and the general highlands area is the place to be! Lots of small shops and store fronts, antiques, vintage apparel. Mellwood antiques is a super cool place to see too! It’s apart of a larger “complex” with other shops and restaurants attached.
@@IslandHopperTV All good, you want to head to Mackinaw Island in the Summer. ruclips.net/video/Ncub6_RWZVA/видео.html this is about the Mackinaw Bridge Heres some on the Mackinaw Island ruclips.net/video/Lsgj6ZnsfmU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/5X3DNJjMtfk/видео.html
Thanks for sharing this!! I was just there this past weekend, good to relive the experience!! Though you should have ate instead at the Brown Hotel and ordered the Hot Brown, the Kentucky specialty
Thank you for your very kind words and generous ranking....but please...don't tell anybody. We're a hidden gem for a reason. It's bad enough when the drunken East Coast 'Wooooo' people invade for the Derby.
Hello, I've seen you commenting a lot on Louisville vids. I'm thinking you're an expert on the city, and am hoping you'd be able to help me with some information pertaining to specific areas there. I'm looking to move to an apt and am considering two areas/complexes at the moment: one is located near the interchange of 64 and 265. So that would be Middletown, I guess. And the other is located further north and west, on Westport Road just a tad southwest of the Standard Club. Any insights on these two areas? Which you prefer? Which most would prefer? Crime, traffic, aesthetics, desirability, etc.? Anything you could offer would be incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for your time.
Okay my friend…here we go…listen closely….how do you say the name of this city? It’s 3 syllables, with a tiny bit of emphasis on the 1st part…. Lou-ah-vull….must let it roll off of your tongue, say it rather quickly …Lou-ah-vull …Lou-ah-vull ……it’s not Lou-a-ville or Lou-ah-VULL…… It’s not that hard……just don’t emphasize the "Vull"……..if you divided the emphasis of the three syllables, it would be "Lou=40% "ah"=30% "vull"=30% Lou-ah-vull …….. OK? Great video
Proud Louisvillian here. KFC didn't start in Louisville. Colonel Sanders lived in Corbin KY when he started KFC; then franchised. Natives say Louavull lol. You're in downtown, most of us are work from home now. That's why you're not seeing alot of people. Frankfort is the capital. There's some areas that aren't safe at night as with any city. The Breonna Taylor case rocked everyone, then the rioters came and destroyed some of our buildings downtown. We've been building back our city ever since.
KENTUCKY is bordered by INDIANA, OHIO, WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, TENNESSEE, MISSOURI, and Illinois… couple Louisville Facts, Lexington was the first boom town because the railroad made a stop in Lexington… later STEAM and TUG boats took over. Louisville and surrounding cities are the furtherest east to adopt the eastern time zone in the country. Reason, in the 40’s during war time GE began negotiations to build their Appliance’s, but they wanted to be on the same time zone as the NY STOCK Exchange. So they agreed to build the plant to be able to build tanks and planes… and land planes as well… sorry for the TMI
Congratulations, you saw about 2% of Louisville. The city is so much more than just a few blocks downtown. By the way, the Clark Memorial Bridge is known locally as the "2nd Street Bridge" since it empties onto 2nd Street in Louisville.
I'm visiting in a few months for the first time to decide if we want to move there. What parts of the 98% rest of Louisville would you suggest I visit?
@@theatrechick4ever This could require a novel. Regarding sites to see and experience, Louisville has an extensive park system, many of them designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of NYC's Central Park. Cherokee Park is especially nice. Also noteworthy is Berheim Forest just south of Louisville. If you like a wide variety of dining and clubs, try the Baxter Ave./Bardstown Rd. strip. It's been a hot social spot since I was a teenager. Take a cruise on the Belle of Louisville up and down the Ohio River, and then walk the Big Four Bridge pedestrian bridge across the river (bike rentals are also available). If you want shopping, you have it all in Louisville, especially in the East End, which is the wealthier part of the city. The Kentucky Derby is to Louisville what Mardi Gras is to Mobile, Alabama and New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a couple of weeks of festivals, events, the world's largest fireworks show, and it all culminates with the horse race on the first Saturday in May. Also, it's important to note that the metro area is called "Kentuckiana," because Southern Indiana counties of Floyd, Clark, and Harrison are integral parts of the area. In fact, they have been the fastest growing part of the region, especially the hilly plateau north of New Albany called The Knobs (I'm from New Albany, originally). Across the area you will find homes from modest to extravagant. Depending on where you're coming from, you might find the prices relatively modest in comparison. The weather is variable. Cool to cold winters, warm summers, and very agreeable spring and fall are normal. There's lots of outdoor recreation close by and, if you want, both Cincinnati and Indianapolis are about 90 minutes away. I never felt "deprived" growing up. Though my career took me elsewhere, I still consider that area my home. Any other questions, just ask.
Well, Im glad he picked the one area of Downtown that we've invest in and made pretty. Don't go searching out the rest of the city or you'll be disappointed lol
@@IslandHopperTVI'm down with all that walking. I like to explore walkable cities. being from nyc originally and living in S Florida now i miss walkability and appreciate opportunities like this
Couldn't get the Kentucky Capital correct. Didn't know Indiana was across the river. Didn't know where the Ohio River ended. This is a guide for people who want to be misinformed. He proves the internet is always wrong.
Does anyone that has been to the Galt House recall if there is a memorial of some kind for a worker that fell to his death during construction? My mother grew up with a guy at a children's home that fell to death while constructing a motel in Louisville and I believe it was Galt House. I remember reading the plaque (I think it was) when we visited but it's been over 30 years ago and don't remember.
KFC got its start in Corbin, KY, not Louisville (it’s pronounced LOO-uh-vuhl). Need to do a little more research before doing a video. Other than that, fun video. Really enjoyed it. I’ll subscribe.
@@RealArtfulDodger yes, that was in 2015, but they did it again in 2020 with covid. Used it was an excuse to get rid of people. Even got rid of $10 an hour people that worked 2 days a week
Been here 28 years, trust me it has gone nothing but downhill in the last several years especially. It's funny because when I moved here in 1994 I had a relative who was a multi-millionaire and lived here her whole life. She told me this was just a "hick town". I couldn't understand that comment then. Now I do. Especially after being to places like Chicago. That said, yes it is boring here but crime is not bad (like Chicago now sadly) and standard of living is decent. It's fine if you are older and not looking for much to do. Lot of millennials who moved here during Covid already going back to big cities, should tell you something.
KFC did not start in Louisville. It started in Corbin, KY. Frankfort is the Capitol of KY. Derby Day is May 7 this year. It's the Muhammed Ali Center, not Museum. It's the Frazier Museum not Science Center. Your lack o general knowledge is deplorable , re Ohio vs Indiana; Mississippi River tributaries, etc.
@@DDH40228 I have no problem with you informing him.. I do have an issue with you calling him deplorable because he doesn’t know something. Which is why I said calm down.

@@IslandHopperTVI'm down with all that walking. I like to explore walkable cities. being from nyc originally and living in S Florida now i miss walkability and appreciate opportunities like this
Where are the zombies
Guy must've turned them off in sandbox settings.

Selam dostum merhaba yine muhteşem bir video olmuş Amerika hayallerimi süsledin
My hometown!!!!
It's loooooville. Kinda like ya got a dip in.
KFC originated in Corbin, the state capital is Frankfort, the Derby is the first Saturday in May not May 5th....other than that, great video.
I love no crowds
& did you ever check out the mall there? My husband & i are going up there january 14th for his great uncle's funeral.
Couldn't get the Kentucky Capital correct. Didn't know Indiana was across the river. Didn't know where the Ohio River ended. This is a guide for people who want to be misinformed.
He proves the internet is always wrong.
So which one did you like more Cincinnati vs Louisville?
I like Louisville. Would love to attend a Derby 🐎
cinncy
IM kinda glad they dont do that because if they did it would drive the costs of living through the roof for those that live there
Not you best work, but interesting none the less. I too was surprised to see that is was nowhere near as bad ad people said it was.
Does anyone that has been to the Galt House recall if there is a memorial of some kind for a worker that fell to his death during construction? My mother grew up with a guy at a children's home that fell to death while constructing a motel in Louisville and I believe it was Galt House. I remember reading the plaque (I think it was) when we visited but it's been over 30 years ago and don't remember.
nice
Did you see the Troll pub downtown
No but I will have to go back and check out more of the pubs and food scene.
Frankfort is the Capitol.
KFC got its start in Corbin, KY, not Louisville (it’s pronounced LOO-uh-vuhl). Need to do a little more research before doing a video. Other than that, fun video. Really enjoyed it. I’ll subscribe.
Slugger museum screwed over a lot of employees
Yes after they got bought out they laid off a lot of people.
@@RealArtfulDodger yes, that was in 2015, but they did it again in 2020 with covid. Used it was an excuse to get rid of people. Even got rid of $10 an hour people that worked 2 days a week
👍
Been here 28 years, trust me it has gone nothing but downhill in the last several years especially. It's funny because when I moved here in 1994 I had a relative who was a multi-millionaire and lived here her whole life. She told me this was just a "hick town". I couldn't understand that comment then. Now I do. Especially after being to places like Chicago. That said, yes it is boring here but crime is not bad (like Chicago now sadly) and standard of living is decent. It's fine if you are older and not looking for much to do. Lot of millennials who moved here during Covid already going back to big cities, should tell you something.
Looks nice but very quiet
That's good
Fine by me.
As far as safety stay out of Portland at night
Frankfort is the capital.
Don't forget to show how shitty it really is, dirty and homeless everywhere
KFC did not start in Louisville. It started in Corbin, KY.
Frankfort is the Capitol of KY.
Derby Day is May 7 this year.
It's the Muhammed Ali Center, not Museum.
It's the Frazier Museum not Science Center.
Your lack o general knowledge is deplorable , re
Ohio vs Indiana; Mississippi River tributaries, etc.
Dude give him a break. He’s just trying to show good things about Louisville.
Dude calm down, he is not from here.
@@alibalbee2883 If you don't know something. it's not okay just say some random sh*t. Bad information is NOT better than NO information.
And he titles it a "Travel Guide"??
@@DDH40228 I have no problem with you informing him.. I do have an issue with you calling him deplorable because he doesn’t know something. Which is why I said calm down.
Do you know if they have bears in that part of kentucky?
You won't find any bears in or around Louisville, except at the zoo.
I lived in Louisville forty years. You have so many things wrong in this clip. I quit. Don’t know capitol of KY?.
