re: Looks like my next job is in Louisville

I moved there for work in March 2017.

Left my job there in October 2018. Didn't want to leave but the new corporate ownership for the company I was working for didn't seem to value my department or team very much so I decided not to stick around.

I liked it there and saw myself settling down there. Let me know if you have any questions.

Everyone you meet who is from there will almost always ask you "Where did you go to high school". This is a way to feel you out in terms of your social standing and class. There is a lot of "old money" snobbery there but for the most part the people are nice.

The further east in Jefferson County you live, the better.

Unfortunately Louisville also charges a city tax ontop of the state income tax. If you really want to, you can live in Indiana to dodge half of this, but the other half will be paid by your employer.

The obvious tourist attraction is going to be Churchill Downs. I think Kentucky Kingdom is weak for an amusement park. The waterpark actually has one of the tallest waterslides in the entire world. Going on a riverboat such as the Belle can be fun.

Lots of people will mention Bardstown Road but I think its overrated. Just a road of expensive hipster type restaurants and a bunch of Bernie Sanders supporter types. I prefer St. Matthews, Brownsboro, or Norton Commons or if you are looking for a bar/nightlife scene over Bardstown Road.

They closed down my favorite hangout(Old Chicago on Wesport Road) unfortunately. But Captain's Quarters is a good place.

UL Basketball draws about 18k for their home games if you like basketball.
