No idea, but I can get you into a KFC taste test.
You get to taste something and also get paid for it lol.

I was there last summer and took the Louisville Slugger Factory tour. Very cool if you like baseball history.

To be honest, Louisville may be the lamest city in the United States. I had to spend a few days there for business ... brutal. The "hopping" area is called Fourth Street Live, a sad collection of chain restaurants and bars with a handful of people in each bar. Maybe it improved since I last visited in 2005, but I doubt it.

Fourth Street Live has always been hopping each time I have been there.

The Slugger Museum and Fourth Street Live are the places to go. Also, if you get the chance there is a casino across the river in New Albany, IN.
Outside of town, if you are into some outdoor activity Mammoth Caves are not too far away.

You HAVE to go the Phoenix Hill Tavern on Baxter Avenue/Bardstown Road. Great place to kick back, listen to great bands of all persuasions, and enjoy the low-key energy. Bar staff is fantastic - ask for a bourbon flight!

I have a friend who travels to Louisville regularly. He is a big fan of the Bluegrass Brewing Co.

If you like scary things, check out the Greyhound bus station in downtown Louisville!

I have been to Fourth Street Live on the weekends, it is a great time. Don't know how it is during the week.

Thanks for the input...I'd heard about the Fourth Street Live thing so I might give it the weekday tour.
