Visited this time last year and it was amazing. An absurd amount of things to do and you almost never even have to hop in a car. I walked or took the bus everywhere I went. It was a solid 70 to low 80s with low humidity too when it was a heat index of 105 back in Louisville at the same time.

But he’s right, you’re going to get nickled and dimed to hell and back in taxes, fees, tolls, etc. I think the fees between city and state alone bumped my Hamilton ticket up almost $125 bucks. I can’t imagine what’s paid in fees and taxes living there.
