Louisville has its nice areas. It's a much bigger city than I initially thought it was. It's also been featured on The First 48 (any city featured on that show has its share of problems).

It's about 1.4 million metro, about double the size of Lex metro, so it's really not fair to compare the two. It's like comparing New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Louisville is one of the largest metro areas in the country without a professional sports team, for instance, and is larger than some that do have them.

Lex very much revolves around UK socially and economically whereas Louisville has a much wider array of things going on.

West End of Louisville (part of which borders Churchill Downs, which is where I think some of those impressions come from) is pretty rough, but Louisville is less violent than national averages.

They're both, funnily enough, liberal as hell if you're in to that sort of thing. Lex has a gay mayor and the eastern half of Louisville (the nicer half) has one of the most liberal Congressmen in the House.
