i dont wanna kill myself this weekend so please tell me there's something good to do while i'm there. food recommendations are #1 but anything else is cool too. hipster-friendly activities are discouraged because i fucking hate hipsters and i do not want to be around them.

Super underrated city. Got in a car accident on the interstate right next to it so was sort of stuck there for three days. I checked out the Slugger factory which was cool if you're at all into baseball. Also went to this gorgeous art gallery/restaurant/hotel called 21c Hotel. On the same street as the slugger museum.
Um...theres a few really nice suburban areas to drive around on the outskirts on the city. Honestly I've been meaning to go back to check out again because I really liked it.
-
I clicked on this thread to post "suicide" but I see you've already ruled that out :-(
-
...leaving Louisville???
-
good suggestions all around. there's a Mohammed Ali museum we're gonna check out, and I plan to check all the rest stops on the way there to see if there's any innocent girls being assaulted by groups of men that can kill to become an internet hero. other than that I dunno.

The bourbon trail is fun, but nowhere near Louisville. It would take about an hour just to get to the first distillery from L'ville.
4th Street has a pretty decent night life, lots of bars packed in to one little place. Bardstown road is where most of the artsy/hipster type stuff goes on. There are a couple of really great places to eat there though.
Mark's Feed Store is a local BBQ chain there that has some really decent food. There is another place called Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen that's pretty good for desert.
Waverly Hills Sanatorium is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the U.S. and is just creepy to be there. They may not be giving tours yet, but that never stopped me from taking a look at the outside of the building.
They just opened up the Louisville Mega Cavern. I have no idea what it's all about, but people say it's a lot of fun.
Churchill Downs is there if you want to see where the most famous horse race in the world is ran every year.
Whatever you do, stay out of the west end of downtown. It's not safe there for anyone. If the street your on has a number, the higher the number the more danger you are in.

:heh yall have press conferences for your shootings. that's cute.
-
Mass shootings. 3 of them, 3 days in a row, all in the same area. That was just last year.
-
dude, youre killing me. I just reread your post and realized we're staying in west Louisville on seventh.it's a little south, but we took it straight up to downtown. every single block I've seen looks nicer than st Louis! there ain't boarded up houses on every block (or collapsed houses, which we have tons of), there ain't unkempt lots and rotted-out stores, and you can walk for blocks and blocks downtown and they all have businesses. I gotta stop making fun of other cities cuz I forget how fucked up mine is. hell, the city is mostly white but it doesn't even have the tense segregation going on that we do.
my hometown is real fucked up
-
Seventh isn't bad. It's once you get up a few more blocks that it starts getting bad. Segregation is definitely present in Louisville. The west end of town is mostly black and middle easterners who live in poverty. I can't say that I ever felt in danger because I was white when I went to that part of town, but it gets a little edgy after sunset.
What hotel you staying in? Or are you staying with somebody?
-
we set something up on couchsurfing because my wife loves it.the girl we're staying with is a total hippie but she's really nice and has a huge house. we've had a good time so far. spent most of the day at the Muhammad Ali museum, which is pretty damn big. we ate at some good little restaurant downtown. I wanted some bbq but all the places close by are closed.
-
Fuck, if Arvie reads this thread he's gonna discover couchsurfing.com
-
arvie couldn't put together a coherent enough profile to trick anyone into his house, let alone type up a whole page worth of info that doesn't reveal him as a serial killer in training.

Progress.

well i finally got back into good ol stl just in time for a gawdawful rainstorm and now i can finally take off my pants
my final review of kentucky is: its not a mind-blowing utopia that i need to move to, but it was pretty damn fun and a whole hell of a lot better than i thought it was gonna be. louisville really has its shit together - compact with lots to do, really clean, no terrible bombed-out looking places like we got around here, and i didnt even see any cops trolling around! its fully hipstered out, but whatev. the rest of the state was beautiful even tho it was pretty empty. but hey, i got to get drunk at jim bean and the wedding was at the family house of the creators of bookers bourbon, so hey. all in all would visit again good job kentucky

For some good bourbon, try Blanton's or Eagle Rare.
