Seniors Dearly Love Louisville

Senior citizens, have you been to Louisville?  I dearly love the city motto: “It’s Possible Here” and full of facts like: home of the Louisville Slugger baseball bats, home to the most exciting two minutes in sports (Derby Time at Churchill Downs), a stunning waterfront, the largest Victorian neighborhood in the county, the nation’s largest urban forest, over 120 parks, 1/3 of the world’s bourbon and 90% of disco balls…all in Louisville.

But there’s more, much more. Old Louisville is an architectural treasure trove. Just south of downtown, it is the third largest National Preservation District in the country and the largest Victorian district in the United States.

Of course one of Louisville’s biggest draws is Churchill Downs always the first Saturday in May, but the city is making a concerted effort to draw tourists year round. The big horse race attracts over half a million 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.

Trip Advisor offers 66 must sees in Louisville, beginning with the Louisville Mega Cavern is a major draw is huge with its 17 miles of corridors. The Derby Museum runs a close second and if you are “into horses” start off here. Being a former baseball player of sorts in highschool and college and later, a coach, I’d take in the Louisville Slugger Museum right away.  I broke a lot of their bats.

Seniors Enjoy America’s Most Livable Large City

I was impressed no end when I learned that Lonely Planet named Louisville the Top Travel Destination for 2013. It’s a city on the move, with major amenities like world-class performing arts, great sports and for you gourmets, incredible dining. And Louisville is home to the Cardinals at the Univ. of Louisville, famed for their baseball teams.

Louisville has been named America’s “Most Livable” large city and one of the top “Foodiest Cities” in the world. I loved the city. Where to go and what to do listings will get you on the road to the interior of the city. Dining, theater, movies, neighborhoods,  sports and more. Louisville offers an authentic taste of Kentucky history and culture, but in a thriving city scene.

Wikitravel is also a great site with super information on the city. Incidentally, do you know where the word WIKI comes from? It’s Hawaiian for “quick” and “wiki wiki,” means “super fast.” Makes sense huh?

 I’ll be that you don’t know what Yahoo means either or what a Google is.  Your Average Hierarchial Officious Oracle = (YAHOO) and a Google is something like a one with a hundred zeros after it.  So stay tuned to seniorcitizen.travel and learn more and more.  Thanx and keep coming back. Nice to have you with us today.   jeb
