Share Louisville -- Los Angeles

[kentuckyidiots]

Louisville is a lame ass town. I mean town too because the people there act as if they live in a small town. Louisville is one ass backwards place and I say that as a native of the area who has traveled elsewhere. Not to mention the dumbasses that run the town and locals who act like they've never been anywhere else.

For those of us that want to raise our familes in a Louisville with a vibrant, diverse and growing economy the terribly designed downtown ORBP is nothing short of civic suicide.

[stunoland]

Louisville has the potential to be the next mid-size boomtown i.e. Austin or Charlotte. However, our city's incompetent leadership is planning to toll its citizens to build a $3 billion dollar infrastructure project that will build 100 year ramps that exclusively connect to a 1950s style elevated waterfront expressway. Meanwhile we are building a $1/4 billion dollar tunnel to protect a few politically connected families' suburban estates.

@WhisperSweetNothings The fact that, despite all of this, you still think my city is nothing more than a collection of toothless hillbillies shows just how ignorant you are of the world. On other hand, I hope that you do eventually make it to Louisville. I would enjoy seeing you be thrown into the Ohio River by the angry mob you created when you tried to act "like a god to the locals" In conclusion, its pronounced Loo-uh-vulle, asshole, and I say it with fierce pride.

@WhisperSweetNothings ....and while were on the subject, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Tom Cruise are just a few of the actors and actresses that Kentucky has given to the world. Then there is, of course, the Kentucky Derby. The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports. Mint Juleps, expensive suits, big hats. The postcard of Southern sophistication. I could go on, but I think I have made my point.

@WhisperSweetNothings ...artificial heart transplant, the world's first hand transplant, and the world's first effective cervical cancer vaccine, the development of the Pap's Smear test, the world's first blood bank, and the world's first ER on it's long list of accomplishments. Did I mention that it's a State University? Every year, Actor's Theatre of Louisville plays host to the Humana Festival of New American Plays, an internationally acclaimed new-play festival that lasts six weeks.....

[porstev]

@WhisperSweetNothings- Pronouncing a word a certain way shows a lack of education? What a horridly prejudice, ignorant thing to say. I am a Louisville native and a former JCPS student, and I find your arrogant assumptions to be very offensive. The public high school I attended, duPont Manual, has the second highest standardized test scores in the country; kinda hard to do that when we supposedly can't spell. The University of Louisville Health Sciences Center can count the world's first.....

[evenrane]

These ads are making me hate Louisville. I wonder if that was the point?

[wturnerharris]

I'm FROM Louisville (I just pronounced it "LOO-EE-Ville") and I agree with some of the comments. Poor urban planning, no trains, no effective buses, no car sharing, bad infrastructure... and they want to add MORE highways. Good thing I moved to NY. ugh! Too many backwards people.

[BritneyQuOfficial2]

Don't worry, I'm from Louisville && I live there & I think it's boring. We don't have anything special. So yeah, I agree with you. I wanna move to LA or Atlanta or something.

[AceV36]

I grew up in Cincinnati then moved to Virginia, Philly, L.A., Atlanta & now Louisville for work and I am surprisingly enjoying Louisville the most out of all. The people here are SO nice! Louisville is like a better Atlanta - nicer, less congested, not as many blacks though, a few more would be nice.

When I worked it L.A. I worked for major label CEO's in entertainment making good money so I was "in" but I will take the genuine niceness of Louisville over crime & "fake" any day

[missrunt]

You sir are an idiot for making broad sweeping assumptions like this!

In all actuality, Louisville is pronounced correctly by most citizens outside of its borders in the state of Kentucky. Problems started to arise in the late 80's beginning from the population within, gang violence, rap music, and common laziness of the tongue ensued.

LoserVille is the correct spelling and rolls off the tongue like this:  Looooo-Zer-Veal

[CyborgNinja7]

Louisville is the shittiest city I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. They have zero concept of urban planning and design. They don't even have street signs next to traffic lights! I guess they're either too poor or dumb to realize the most basic of things. Good luck finding your way around town. Beware of the literally _thousands_ of potholes on the poorly-maintained roads there.

[punwin]

Isnt it pronounced Loo-ee-ville not Loo-aville?

[brianherbert]

Most people here pronounce Louisville the way the narrator does in the video: Loo-uh-vull

[jratzinger07]

i drove through louisville several times

never had the urge to stop

[markmccormick]

is this for real or is this a joke

[wturnerharris]

i think it's real. but i'm certainly laughing. lol.

[mattusattucks]

louisville sucks and the people who live there are dumb as shit

[wturnerharris]

MOST people...

[jmpmo03]

LMAO

[moistandwanting]

hahahhahaha louisville sucks

[decepty]

The only reason most of us in LA get denied homeowners insurance is because we can't afford houses here. But that's what renter's insurance is for, and hell... at least we're not hillbillies.

[dxmkrew]

WTF who pronounces it like that!?

[neuteach]

Crazy. Louisville is NOT a great place to live. I've lived in L.A. Noise there is much less than noise levels here in Louisville. Loud car stereos and young white males somehow are under the LMPD radar. If you live south of Bardstown Road, you're pretty much screwed.

[foxymoron7]

That's some quality hate you got there. Have a bourbon. Relax.

[neuteach]

Bourbon and relaxing. Huhmmm. Let's see...discretionary income...noiseless east end living..oh...o.k. I got it. Are you that supersonic cool marketing exec who came up with this site? Drink up dude.

[wturnerharris]

I agree! Mi barrio in Washington Heights is quieter!

[JackRussellTerrier2]

Louisville has the most irritating regional pronunciation in he USA and commercials like these are spreading the disease (of an overhyped, badly pronounced, imperialistic city that sits on the border of the state it srongly identifies with and thinks it's in the middle of the south as well)

[LaRaineDR]

Come visit us in Louisville!

[louisvillechris]

I love Louisville!!
