Louisville, Kentucky may be one of the greatest cities in the world... not just because I happen to live here, but because it is true!  Where big city events and entertainment meet the friendliness and hospitality of a small town, Louisville is the perfect place to live, work, play, and visit!

Perhaps best known for the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs has definitely put Louisville on the map.  While famous for their aquestrian events, the Downs also plays host to all sorts of exciting things throughout the year, including concerts, family events, and galas.

Louisville also boasts some of the nation's best attractions, like the fantastic Louisville Zoo.  With the addition of Glacier Run, not only can a family experience a wonderful day with the animals, but the kids can cool off at the Splash Park!  Who would have thought of a water play area inside of a zoo?  Yup... that would be Louisville!
