Louisville, Kentucky Professional Review and Guide

"With its river-city heritage, Louisville, Kentucky, like Cincinnati, Ohio, bubbles with activities, sites, and shopping—far more than one could cover in a single day trip.

Highlights include the $60-million-plus waterfront development, which features fountains, picnic areas, a playground, and trails. Main Street downtown has visually appealing iron-facade buildings, the second-largest collection in the country following that of New York City’s Soho District."
