*Your "International" airport has only one passenger flight that actually leaves the 48 contiguous U.S. states.

*The in-state sports rivalry is paid more attention to than the national championship.

*You live in an area that occasionally gets considerable snowfalls, floods, and tornadoes... but has no real capacity to deal with any of the above.

*You ask your doctor for an allergy cure and he tells you to move.

*You've shovelled 10+ inches of snow and worn shorts in the same week.

*Your last ten vacations were in Panama City or Destin.

*You make an emergency run to Kroger for bread and milk at the first sighting of a snowflake.

*You hold up traffic to let a motorist you don't know into your lane.

*You give directions based on landmarks that no longer exist or street names that have changed, but your directions never confuse any of the other Louisvillians.

*You have never been to the Derby, but wouldn't miss the Oaks.

*You think all the REAL hicks live in New Albany.

*You think the only thing Southern Indiana is good for is buying pumpkins.

*When introduced to another life-long Louisvillian, you spend the first part of the conversation finding out how you are connected. It's never as many as six degrees of separation - usually two or three will do it.

*You think a pervert is someone who would rather have sex than watch basketball.

*You can read about Rick Pitino in at least three different sections of your newspaper, and you either love or hate this fact with a passion.

*You think the rest of the world knows what Benedictine spread is.

Louisville, Kentucky!!!!!

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 MASSIVE 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.

7.

A Border City situated by the falls of the Ohio River. Despite it's downtown facing the Indianashore, it thinks it's in the middle of Kentucky. Despite being situated along the lower rim of the Midwest it thinks it's in the middle of the South. Locals refer to the northern half of the metropolitan area as "Southern Indiana" despite Evansvillebeing much farther to the south.

A city with what is possibly the most irritating regional pronounciation of a city in the USA, right up there with Norfolk Virginia. Though there is some variation in the regional pronunciation, the typical pronunciation used by people in the local media (TV and radio) could best be described as "Loo-a-bull" (pronounced in such a way that sounds as if one is gargling ______, quickly swallowing on the second syllable) which could be translated as "getting a male bovine to sit on the toilet."

A city that merged with the large county (Jefferson) where it served as the courthouse, back in 2003, imperializing the area around it, accelerating municipal hype, and giving developers an excuse to pave over the rest of the county.

The greater Louisville area is doing it's best to suck away all the jobs (at any cost) from the state of Kentuckyas well as other large cities in the rest of the region like Chicago, Cincinnati, Nashville TN, St. Louis, and Indianapolis
