Louisville: Truly Just A Subset of the White Trash Infested State of Kentucky

One of my comments of course deleted and banned by the censors of at City Data that can't handle the truth about what a festering carbuncle that Kentucky is on the rear end of humanity. I've got some news for them, I can post all day long stuff about Kentucky and just watch them have a total mental meltdown because they hate the facts and truths about their nincompoop infested state of Cousin Eddies that scratch their asses all day and pick their nose while producing nothing of value. That says it all about Kentucky. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Louisville is like a big trailer park from the worst part of Kentucky with some of the worst people you can imagine. It's just that Kentucky has such low expectations from its population and society that Louisville is the best that they can do even though its a glorified trailer park with nicer housing and decent cars.

The mentality is such that it reminds you of a bunch of people who just got out of the mountains somewhere and didn't lose the accents and the low mentality attitudes that exist in Louisville and most of the rest of Kentucky. It's not as if I'm a high class or high worth individual either just a plain average American with a home, nice car and college education that I earned by working full time in the automotive industry while attending school part time and graduating with a double major in Finance and Business Management.

If you've spent time in other cities of the same size or bigger than Louisville, you'll realize that Louisville is behind the times by at least 15 or 20 years if not more. Its in a lot of ways a metro area still stuck in the 1990s if not some remnants of the 1980s. For some reason Louisville doesn't seem to be interested in improving their city beyond what it was in the past. I mean seriously, there isn't any real need to improve when you live in a state that is a toilet economically, educationally and socially. 47th in educational attainment, 41st in K to 12 education, 41st in quality of universities and that is just education.

The problem is also that Kentucky has been one of the poorest and dumbest states for decades. For example, Kentucky has ranked 44th or worse in the United States since 1939 in personal income. That's 80 years of being a major league loser and when your state has hundreds of thousands of people who are functionally illiterate it also drags down the rest of the state. Including Kentucky government which is basically broke and suffering from massive budget deficits to the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars it bleeds yearly as well as a broken pension system. Socioeconomically Kentucky is the pits of America being 47th in personal income, 47th in family income, 47th in median income. Not to mention #1 or #2 in meth labs, worst in heart disease, diabetes, elder abuse, animal abuse laws and the worst state for child abuse. Low mentality people is often what you have to deal with.

On the average, Kentuckians aren't terribly bright to begin with its as if they've totally forgone any level of book learning much less reading newspapers at a 12th grade level as well as magazines. What they do learn usually is some useless crap like basketball or maybe football rather than technical subjects or civics or economics/business. That explains a lot of why Kentucky is and has been near the bottom of the 50 states for decades. Kentucky is just slightly above West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas and a few other Southern based toilets.

I moved about 75 miles north of the Kentucky border and while its not a utopia here its much better when dealing with people and dealing with basic everyday life. Not perfect by any means and I don't expect that but I do expect people to generally have some level of common sense and decency that doesn't exist from when I lived in Louisville. I lived in the Louisville region for a good number of years including 6 years in Kentucky and still have one set of in laws that live outside of Louisville and even they hate it but they are invested in their local community to the point that they probably won't leave until retirement.

Kentucky is like a skidmark on the underpants of society. I've been all over Kentucky over the years and its mostly the same just about everywhere you go and every little town is basically the same with the same type of boring people and same mentality to talk about basketball and go Cayuts. Which is how they sound when the talk. Another annoying aspect of people in Kentucky is their inability to speak intelligently and in at least rudimentary English that most people in the North know how to use. In the north, no matter the religion or none at all you have heard the term Jesus. In Kentucky, in many places they can't properly pronounce his name whether you think he existed or didn't isn't the matter. In Kentucky, the local yokels in many jurisdictions call him Jaysus or some screwed up variation of such like the Kentucky Wildcats are often called Cayuts in some backwoods dialect that is unintelligible to intelligent life.

One of my most laughable experiences was traveling down to Nashville, TN for a conference one time and stopping in one of the local stops in Kentucky for 30 dollars of gas and having the local from the bumhole town ask me if I watched the Cayuts last night of which I told him that I didn't and I didn't like Louisville either. Which totally blew his mind to have someone tell Mr. Yokel that everyone isn't a fan of either of the putrid schools that make up the majority of basketball fans in the Commonwealth. There is more to life than baskeyball another Kentuckianism.

Louisville really isn't any different than the rest of Kentucky. Its just a bunch of transplants that moved there over the past 200 years from somewhere else mostly in the South from Kentucky or WV or NC, TN, AL, etc. Nothing to really brag about there. Its funny because Louisville has this major narcissism complex to the point that they feel that they are the be all live all place of the entire region even though there are other cities with nicer suburbs than what exists in Lousyville.

My wife spent 20 of her 32 years at the time in Louisville and she couldn't ever desire to go back there to live even back to the town in which her family lives about 30 miles outside of Louisville in Kentucky. Think Taylorsville/Shelbyville/Mt. Washington area. If it wasn't for their ties to the community they would be moving back to Ohio or Indiana or even Maryland because Kentucky is a joke.

Louisville thinks because its the end all be all for Kentuckians that its a major metro with something to prove. Even though the city has no professional sports teams, little culture and only a couple of crappy museums one being the Ali Center and the other a gun museum. Maybe a trip to the zoo or the planetarium which you can do in part of a day and that's about it other than strip malls and run down shopping centers that look like a toilet on Dixie Highway or Preston Highway or the Outer Loop. St. Matthews and the mall area is even overrated as is most of Hurstbourne. Even the whole Baxter/Bardstown/Frankfort Avenue scene is majorly bland. You can find better in Broad Ripple in Indianapolis or downtown Nashville or even in (GASP) Cincinnasty aka Cincinnati.

Louisville largely revolves around three or four main activities for most people. Churchianity being one of them. Not Christianity which is a totally different animal or as I would call ones own relationship with their creator. In Louisville, its all about show to prove to your neighbors you're more religious than they and they better step up their game. So they have plenty of large megachurch type facilities whether its Six Flags over Jesus or one of the various Baptist Convention oriented churches around town. Same goes with Catholicism and of course the Evangelical churches which all act the same with the same stuffy boring people that they've always had. People who generally think their poop doesn't stink because they work at Humana or UPS or some other Louisville rathole. The same goes for the Trinity/St. X trailer park rivalry and each school outdoing the other in making asses of themselves.

Another Louisville monstrosity is the alcohol industry mostly centered around the imbibing of crappy tasting bourbon as if that's only thing that Louisville and Kentucky can actually produce. Most cities and urban areas can produce a good quality beer or some other alcoholic beverage for people to consume in moderation. In Louisville, its all about show and who can get plastered before they go to church and start bawling their eyes out in many cases. Louisville doesn't have much of a food scene despite some braggadocio about what a great food city it is even though it gets blown away by cities like New Orleans, Charleston, KC, Houston, NYC, Chicago, etc.etc. Overrated to the max just like most everything else is done in Louisville aka Loubilly. The local media of crap in Louisville (Loubilly) jumps on the bandwagon to promote some local crap restaurant as if it is the end all be all of restaurants even though you can find similar if not better eateries in other cities within a couple of hours trip. Its definitely worth the time and the gas money to take a visit for a few hours one way and then back to try out local fare in other cities in the region. Or catch a plane if the places is over 250 miles away or so that way you're not driving the weekend away. Take a trip to New Orleans, Charleston, KC, Chicago, NYC, Philly or anywhere else and tell me that Louisville is all that to brag about.

Another Louisville past time is fat soccer moms plowing their oversized rear ends into minivans and their cars to run off to one of the myriad of overbuilt suburban strip malls containing your favorite stores and then almost getting into wrecks because they're too stupid to understand the rules of the road. One more thing is the fact that Louisville has a severe infrastructure problem as do many places but its more pronounced in Louisville. Including the local interstates and parkways that don't make a lot of sense, poorly timed traffic lights as Louisville is the 4th most costly city to commute in and having interstate on ramps so short that it causes accidents when the poorly educated morons of Kentuckiana try to learn to merge and speed up.

Even better is the soccer moms, Instagram queens and others blabbing or taking selfies on their cellphones trying to put on makeup and drive down the road while cocking their heads repeatedly side to side while talking on the phone. As if someone is seeing them act like a total moron in traffic cocking their head side to side like a bobble head being struck violently. The guys aren't much better driving their pickup trucks that usually have an inverse relationship to their manhood trying to prove that they're a real man by driving something that is 2 times the size of what is really needed but to be proud because is loud and noise and rolls coal. That's the Louisville driving public in essence. Unable to merge into traffic, no knowledge of turn signals and basic rules of the road, blowing traffic lights regularly or almost ramming someone from behind because they don't understand safe following distances.

Oh and the schools in Jefferson County truly do suck as they regularly rank from 118th out of 154 KY school systems back in 2009 to now being 127th out of 158 KY School systems in 2017 and 2018. Even worse is that half of the people that graduate high school cannot read and write at a 12th grade level to save their lives. So approximately only about 53 percent of them can actually read and write at a 12th grade level. Which means they go to post secondary school and are incapable of understanding the material without remedial classes. The math scores in Kentucky schools are worse in that only about 40 percent of the 10th graders actually test out at grade level in Mathematics. You're going to guess that they are going to pick up remedial math classes in the last two years of high school if they even finish? Probably not so they are basically graduating at what is a 8th to 10th grade level at math and basically the same for science and English.

Science is even worse than in 2018 Kentucky students as well as Louisville only passed the exams at 36 percent at grade level. That speaks volumes about how crappy the Kentucky educational system truly is in a country that has been going through schools that increasingly worse in their outcomes over the decades. Another factoid of why Kentucky is at the bottom of the barrel.

To summarize, Louisville and Kentucky at large isn't worth your time if you're not from there. I know. I lived other places for years before living in Kentucky and after 6 years of seeing such waste and garbage even 75 miles away so my wife can see family is worth getting away. If I had my way I would move further north or east or even west for a better quality of life. That being said, I have to at least let my spouse and son see their family in Kentucky now and then and have a relationship with them and I can deal with a little bit of a tradeoff to do so. Indiana and much of the Midwest needs work from neglect by local and state governments but its still light years ahead of the damp, dank and dark place that makes up Kentucky and Louisville is even worse than Kentucky in many ways. Southern Hospitality that you hear about or Kentucky Values are something you hear in Louisville and or Kentucky and yet they really don't exist except in rare cases of people that actually kept those values. Its like a big trailer park in Kentucky just nicer houses in some places and the schools well they are the reason along with culture and society why Kentucky is a bottom feeder state and always has been and more than likely always will be.
