where to begin, oh well i would first like to say that louisville aka gateway city to the south is a southern city always has been and always will be. it’s the nations 16th largest city, with a black population of 140k (23rd largest). it’s most known for the kentucky derby attracted over 100k each year, which does not include the m-ssive party in the west end off broadway (the black hang out). it’s also known for fried chicken hence connel sanders kfc. so don’t hate on my city if it’s not liberal enough or what ever else please go north of the mason dixon line (the ohio river).
louisville is a redneck mecca especially in the portland area and other residential areas downtown.
