OK, all you wanna-be cowpokes!
As the one and only native-born resident expert on Louisville, KY, on this Board, I invoke my full authority as such in making these next statements.
First, if you were raised here, you say LOO-uh-vull, but in the same amount of time it takes to say one syllable.
Second--this city was named in honor of le roi Louis XVI of France, for his help during the American Revolution. He and his family would have been upset if we'd dropped the
'is', as was suggested. I know--I asked him.
Third--I was surprised that no one commented on the fact that Louisville ain't the capital of Caintuck.
