This is my home area from 1932-1957. It was fun to see how it has changed. Thank you. Thomas S. Fiske, now in S. California

[@javiermoretti1825]

Fun fact: From 1976 to 1996, the Louisville Slugger baseball bat was actually made in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

[@henrypark5776]

I love Kentucky and Tennessee area!! Wish I could move there! Your videos should be in high school social study classes.. Thank you for the videos.

[@RossLGould]

Thanks, Chris, for the pleasant tour through the River City! It has been a long time since I was last there, so I saw some new things and some that I recognized. Keep up the good work.

[@kathycampbell6122]

You do a wonderful job, Mr. Harden. Thank you!

[@gaycorfield4235]

Thanks chris .....love watching your videos......I’m from New Zealand 🇳🇿 a little town in the north island called Morrinsville..... A 76 year old, and will never travel 🧳 over seas and find your videos very interesting, i must admit being in the car 🚗 with you, so as to speak, was a bit hair raising,as we drive on the other side of the road. Again a big thank you 😊

[@ChrisHarden]

Thanks, and I'm glad these videos can satisfy your curiosity!

[@glennso47]

Some people in the USA unfortunately drive on the other side of the road too (when they aren’t supposed to) but that’s another story. 🤭

[@drakewatkins2624]

Very informative video as always good work Chris thanks for posting

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Hi Chris, I'm Dennis from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about the city of Louisville, Kentucky!

[@travisb.1857]

Bourbon Whiskey is made and/or age outside the state of Kentucky. To be named "Kentucky Bourbon" it has to be atleast aged in the state of Kentucky. For example Bullet Bourbon is actually distilled in Indiana, but aged in Kentucky. But when it really comes down to it Buffalo Trace is the only true last Kentucky Bourbon, all others are owned by outside entities. If I'm not mistaken I think Jim Beam is owned by a Chinese company.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

I was watching this yesterday, then suddenly it was gone. Glad it came back.

[@ChrisHarden]

I had a dumb mistake that I spotted after uploading the original that I wanted to correct. Only a handful of people saw the video by the time that I noticed the mistake so I deleted it, fixed it and re-uploaded it.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

@@ChrisHarden Glad to be part of that handful.

I used to work at the Philip Morris factory that used to be located at 18th and Broadway. Philip Morris used to be a fortune 500 company until they spun off Kraft. River Road out to the east end is a pretty drive.

[@kamranrahmatnejad5640]

Great video with amazing quality! Thank you!

[@ameliarhodes5000]

Good stuff. Food for thought that put this possibility for relocation in a more informed light. You've become one of my go to KZbinrs along with Briggs. And I keep another tab open to Sperling's Best Places Live.

What about “Stuck in the Kernfield? That’s a good one also.

[@ChrisHarden]

Aww shucks.

[@MP-of9hg]

Great video Chris Why are there no people on the streets What day of the week was this? Louisville is the state’s largest city There should be people out & about Thanks keep up the good work

[@ChrisHarden]

It was early in the morning on a weekend and people weren’t out as much as they normally are because the pandemic shut downs we’re still somewhat of a thing.

[@jesscarey7666]

Nice work 👍

[@KayvonJavid]

Downtown is so empty compared to what it used to be. There even used to be an elevated train system where I64 sits now.

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Horses also arrived from Kentucky's Largest City, and the birthplace of the American horse race: Louisville.

[@brianarbenz1329]

Louisville is more of a separate city-state. I don’t think of it as Kentucky’s largest city, though statistically it is, of course.

[@KayvonJavid]

My main complaint about downtown is that there is a bunch of things to do cluster together, and after that, there’s nothing.

[@NDW85]

Louisville is also the birthplace of celebrities such as Billy Gilbert (whom you might remember from his work as a foil for Laurel & Hardy and the 3 stooges and as the voice of Sneezy in Snow White) and game show host Tom Kennedy.

[@johnnyjacuzzi7498]

That was the such a pathetic celebrity list that it was actually endearing.

You explained our complicated merger well! It took three tries to get voters to approve merger. The first two times, in 1982 and ‘83 it failed by tiny margins on ballot referendums. Finally an altered and rather messy version passed in 2002.

[@davidrice3337]

And hows that merger goin for ya ? Southwestern Jefferson County was particularly affected - in a bad way - The roads for example - the police protection has gone downhill - it's unbelievable - its sad - & it makes me mad as hell - Thanks Jerry - and you too "Skatepark" Dave - speaking of the skatepark - yrs ago it cost the taxpayers $10,000 a month cleaning up graffiti and maintaining the bathrooms - hilarious

[@brianarbenz1329]

[@michaelmcelrath8536]

Hey Chris another awesome video you did especially Louisville my former state wrong city though Lol... There was some movies also made there :)

[@glennso47]

I don’t care for anything alcoholic. Just give me a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and some of the best coleslaw on the market. Thanks to KFC.😬

[@uoflann4416]

I wonder if Kentucky's whiskey name "bourbon" came from King Louis' family/surname. Louisville was first a French outpost called "LA Belle." When Louisville was named Louisville, many French traditions were already firmly in place, and the residents more than likely adopted the French alcohol-naming process, e.g., "Champagne." Where only "spirits" produced in certain areas are allowed to use that name..? So I'm sure at one point in our history the story of only Kentucky being able to produce bourbon is true. Of course, that didn't last, and now any area can legally make bourbon.

[@kevinford69]

Well I have a job offer in Louisville and I can say without a doubt that my own personal knowledge of Louisville plus theses in-depth videos I have decided that anywhere other than Louisville looks like a great place. I lived in St. Louis for 20 years and yeah North County, East St. Louis, and South St. Louis are terrible but everything west of downtown is nice. I can't say that for Louisville it's like Detroit and Baltimore. I don't care how much they offer me NO ABSOLUTELY NO.

Was actress Rachel Ashley from Louisville?

[@JUSAGUYNKY]

A porn star? Lol

Reynolds Consumer Products aka Reynolds Wrap flagship plant is in Louisville and is the only place their aluminum foil is made.

What is up with this city's roads? 80% fudged up.

I know. Ive lived here my whole life. Theyve always been like that. People dont care that are government wise. They dont give a million fucks. They claim they dont have the funds.

[@stevenboll322]

Hey Chris have you done one of Memphis or knoxville?

[@ChrisHarden]

Memphis yes, although these were some of my first videos and the quality isn’t as good as you see on my newer videos. Haven’t yet made videos on Knoxville or anywhere else in Tennessee for that matter. Here is my Memphis playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLkAKbwTlGHeJFjxxYQsNPWf-crEbN94F7

The male singer from the mamas and papa’s last name John Phillips did a song called “Mississippi”where he mentions some gal heading down south from Louisville holding onto 100 dollar bill.

[@davidbeck5699]

John Phillips was a pervert who had sex with his Daughter over and over !!! I think that was his Daughter running with that 100 bill away from it...

Another reupload? Why?

[@ChrisHarden]

Because I was drinking too much Kentucky Moonshine during my first attempt of editing this video.

[@ChrisHarden]

I haven’t had to do a re-upload of a video in a while though. Can’t remember when the last time was.

You left out the hood of downtown. The area around U of L Hospital.

[@franklawrence1975]

Sad that downtown Lou is kinda dumpy. Nice architecture especially on Main st but other than that there is so very little commercial activity. A few good restaurants but very little in the way of retail destinations. For a city the size of Lou, their downtown looks like one half their size. With the exemption of Whisky row and some small suburban type of hotels , there is little in the way of investment. Cities a third the size of Lou like Richmond Virginia or Grand Rapids Michigan are considerably more bustling and are attracting big time real estate investors. I just don't get it .

[@kingdomofgarvin3432]

That's what's up

God the road alone want to make me die.

[@JUSAGUYNKY]
