LOUISVILLE: One Of The USA's Quirkiest, Most Unique Downtowns

We traveled to Louisville, Kentucky. While exploring downtown I discovered several interesting statues and many beautiful, old buildings. I also visited the Cave Hill Cemetery, in which two of the most remarkable men in history are buried.

We stayed at the Louisville Drury Inn

Always a joy to see someone come to Louisville, pronounce the name funny, and see which parts of the city they went to. Thing about this city is, much like the weather, if you go a few minutes in any direction you're in a whole new world. Each neighborhood and vibe changes every 2 blocks around here. You'll go from our slums to a great part of town to an industrial park to a slum to a great part of town all in a 5 minute drive down one street.

I used to live in Louisville a long time ago, I lived there for about14years and was so in love with the people, the city, everything!!! When I moved back to my native Denver Colorado, I went into culture shock and have been depressed ever since. I LOVED Louisville! I still call it my home. Oh, I actually saw the funeral procession when the Cornell Sanders was about to be buried. Lot's of mourners. Cave hill cemetery is so gorgeous it's amazing that its a cemetery. I could go on and on about the people and town, but Thank you for making this video!
I just love you and your awesome wife!

bardstown road is our real party street! as well as frankfort ave, and parts of shelbyville road. i really do love my city :)

Louisville has some AMAZING neighborhoods...The Highlands being one of the most amaziing...maybe potentially in all of the United States. Very walkable and just so cool. A real gem in the USA which is predominately defined by predominately car culture and downright hostile to walkable neighborhoods. Louisville in general is a cool city.

You should see The Palace Theater on the inside. When I was a kid I went there for my very 1st concert and I was literally in awe of how beautiful it is on the inside. I'm 33 years old now and I think I was 12 the 1st time I went but I'll never forget it. I've lived in Louisville my whole life so I appreciate that people would come and appreciate our city!

I am from a small town close to Lexington, Ky. I have gone to several conferences downtown Lousiville. I love the top older hotels and it is very beautiful downtown. Now I'm interested again in going and seeing more of the older historic buildings. The art work on several you showed, is worth a closer look for me in some leiusure time. The Gault House and The Brown Hotel.I've stayed at and both have awesome history. Thanks for your review.

Yep, my hometown. Left at 18 and never returned save for short visits. Loved your observations. I laughed a lot at those who commented about the Louisvilles' culture/condition/and attitude. One comment accurately highlighted how people interact with their experiences in Louisville by social class, which isn't as much economic as based on where you live in the County. It was spot on in that there is a core of poverty but there are tons of positive things as well as negatives that make any city it's all up to the individual. Love your Vlogs as they touch so many of the places I've been and those I've lived in. Currently adapting to Hutto, Texas after living in the Peoples Republic of Illinois, the town was nice but the State needs massive help. I was just East of St. Louis and cringed seeing you enter an alleyway in downtown St. Louis. I was an armed officer and would never have done that without backup. Glad you have a cluster of guardian angels riding with you. Please try and get to Frankfort Kentucky, It will surprise you as its principal reason for existing is as the State Capital. Small and sleepy town the last time I was there.

The city has lots of issues but it has a lot of history to be appreciated
Glad you came down here to see it

I really enjoy seeing different U.S. cities. Your videos are great.

[alexsutton]

I really love this series of videos you guys are making it’s so fascinating to learn all of these fun facts

[Maria-fzmu]

Yes it's beautiful the old buildings

[Whatisit_]

Thank you on the Drury recommendation. I want to take a road trip.That is exactly my price point.

In the mid 70s My Dad took us from Louisville to St. Louis and this has brought back memories for me.
Met Colonel Sanders as a kid! He was a bit cantankerous but friendly to kids!
Also, you missed the Belle of Louisville Riverboat!

Thanks for the video. I really love Louisville. Lived there for 3 years. Really regret leaving. It is such a beautiful city, and there is so much more then Downtown to see. Old Louisville is very nice. Bardstown Rd is very nice. Louisville has some very beautiful parks. The Suburbs are very nice.

Loving going back to watch the ones from before I discovered this gem of a channel. iirc urban explorer channels like Proper People and Broken Window Theory is how I got here. I wonder why your nearly half a million of your subscribers aren't going back and watching these ones. I have heard that you are coming to Canada! Assume you will be doing each provinces capital city as per your format. That will have you an hour from me here in Canada's oldest incorporated city of Saint John New Brunswick. Cheers!

17:35 Muhammad Ali Blvd used to be called West Chestnut Street, and was formerly filled with black-owned local shops and grocers. Unfortunately, it was turned into a long wide road and the expansion closed a lot of those businesses down. Basically that entire neighborhood became displaced.
Another thing worth noting is that you missed Old Louisville, the largest collection of Victorian architecture in the world outside of Europe. Right by the UL campus, which has one of two or three original copies of The Thinker on display. If you go back, you might wanna check those spots out!

I hope you looked inside the Palace. It's very elaborate and fancy.

I never thought I hear Michealangelo's David described as "campy" and "tacky".

[peterw.kocsis]

A pretty decent city, from my limited experience there.

[freedomgal]

It's Loo-uh-vul.
Love: a native.
