Hello and Welcome to my Hometown Louisville Kentucky!!! Above is a picture of Downtown Louisville taken from across the river in Jeffersonville Indiana.... My city is soo beautiful at night as you can see for yourself...In my opinion my city is most famous for the Kentucky Derby... which happens every year on the first Saturday in May... sometimes this falls on my birthday since it is on May 2nd.....2 weeks before the Derby is to even happen we kick it off THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE there is no other way to write theses words except big.... because this is the biggest fireworks show in the world and last year we drawed a crowd over 3/4 million people .. and Lord knows how they all fit downtown..LOL below is a picture...

In the picture above is the same bridge you see in the first Picture on this page Click on the fireworks to see more Pictures of THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE

How Can I desrcibe THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE for you?? I have been right on the belverdere in front of it all.. behind me stood the Boom Box that provided the music for the fireworks...(oh forgot to tell you the fireworks are set off to music...oops)When it begins it sort of puts you into a trance you hear nothing but the music and see nothing but the Fireworks... and for the 30 minutes they go off... your like in such ahhh... and I could never express what I feel when I am standing there... So the best I can tell you is to experience it for yourself....You will truly LOVE it. Well one thing I can tell you its makes it better when you are with someone you Love.. But hey doesn't everything:-)

Ok here is a brief History lesson about Louisville:

Greater Louisville metro area,including Jefferson,Bullitt,Oldham,andShelby counties in Ky. and Clark,floyd,and Harrison counties in Indiana., pop. 952,662. I-65, I-71 & I-64, on the Ohio River, named for King Louis XVI of France, Louisville was founded by Gen.George Rogers Clark and its city charters was signed by Thomas Jefferson, then governor of Va., on May1,1780.

Of course I have to show you our Louisville falls Fountain... This Fountain Is in the Middle of the Ohio River... you are able to see in in the pictures above it is off to your right....The picture is a little blurry I enlarged it so you could get a better view... The fountain is beautiful at night But as ugly as sin in the day time(shhh I didn't say that..lol)

Have you ever heard of the Louisville Slugger?? Well incase you haven't it is a base ball bat.. used by many proffesonal players.. have you ever seen a Baseball bat that stands over 5 STORY'S tall .. well guess what we have one.. This is the newest attraction to Louisville Believe it or not that have made a Glove to go along with that bat But it is not up yet... Here is a picture of the Bat.. notice the building it is leaning against it is 5 story's high..
