LOUISVILLE , just south of Indiana
across the Ohio River, is firmly embedded in the American national
consciousness for its multimillion-dollar Kentucky Derby
. Each year, the horse race attracts over 500,000 fans to this
cosmopolitan and well-diversified industrial city, which still
bears the traces of the early French settlers who came upriver
from New Orleans. Today a third of the country's bourbon is made
here.
Louisville's history revolves around a perennial
rivalry with Cincinnati, a mere one hundred miles upstream. For
example, despite being pro-Union during the Civil War, it promoted
itself thereafter erecting Confederate statues and so on as the
place for Southern business to invest, as opposed to Midwestern
cities like Cincinnati.
Besides a lively arts scene and lots of citywide
festivals, Louisville boasts an unrivaled network of public parks,
many designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. One native son who took
advantage of the recreation facilities was three-time world heavyweight
boxing champion Muhammad Ali , who used to do
his early-morning training in the scenic environs of Chickasaw
Park.
