Thing I would Want to Take With Me If I Left Louisville

 1) Def. Meijer's as mentioned in the last comments

2) The In-State Sports Rivalry. The UofL Cardinals and the UofK Wildcats(although I wish sports talk radio would talk about the national scene more often)

3) Used book stores that don't smell like Cat Urine(Half Price Books, Christian Book Nook---although the odor here is not all that pleasant.

4) Traffic----The fact that you can get anywhere in Louisville in a half hour or less(although I've never tried to get anywhere on 65 in rush hour or anywhere past 265). St. Louis is the only other large city I've lived in. I hate St. Louis traffic. Even when they spend years redesigning a highway, traffic flow doesn't improve.

5) Louisville Cops---maybe it's just me, but they don't seem like they are out to get people or trap normal everyday people. There were places in St. Louis where you had to be paranoid about getting pulled over. Again maybe I just don't go to those places in Louisville. Now that I think of it, I've heard that 264 might be a place to be paranoid. But I'm not on 264 that much.

6) My Church...After seminary I didn't know if I would ever enjoy church again. Thankfully I there is a theologically serious, non-Calvinist, worshipful, welcoming, not-take-yourself-too-seriously church, and I go to it.

7)As far as restaurants, I can't think of any that I would take from Louisville that aren't in other cities. I do like the non food court Chick-Fil-A's, but I'm sure other cities have those as well. I don't remember these in St. Louis. I'm sure they are there by now. They might have been there when I was, but I don't remember one.

I second on Meijer (I was at first surprised that it made the list, but now that I think about it makes sense). It is not quite Dierbergs, but not Schnuck's either probably better than Schnuck's-pretty much it is like Walmart only a lot nicer. I am not convinced Walmart is the cheapest place to stop. We compared sale prices at Meijer to Walmart when we moved here and Meijer won out most of the time. Also they have Meijer brand organic food that is not expensive like Whole Foods.

The U of L, UK rivalry gets kind of old, but it is pretty funny when Pastor Butler mentions it the next day at church. That's a really good way to keep an attentive audience.

Love Half Price Books. In fact I'm not sure I would move to a city without a Half Price Books! LOL!

I agree with the Louisville cops. The only time I've gotten pulled over was because I didn't have my stickers on the back of my plate...the cop actually put them on for me when I pulled them out of my glove compartment right on top of my registration. Plus my brother -in-law is one of Louisville's finest!!

The number one thing that makes me want to never move away from Louisville is my church. Our pastor is awesome and being a Calivinist I can attend and you really wouldn't know he wasn't one unless we come across one of those passages (and every text in the Bible does not talk about Calivinism contrary to my college education). He is the most profound, in depth, knowledgeable, inspiring pastor I have ever sat under. I would say he is the best I have ever heard and that includes every guest preacher I have heard or sermon on-line I have listened to. AND our church encourages the arts, which I did not get growing up at church. There was no room for an artist at church. But as my mom said when she visited my church-they seek to Glorify God and they are definitely not afraid to preach sermons that may offend someone-however I would add that they also preach to love. And that is probably one of the biggest message they preach oh and Christ. Christ is talked about a lot-more than most of the churches I've been at or attended. But I will stop here.

I would say Chic-fila is a pretty good thing outside of the mall. The ones at the mall aren't fresh and taste like they have been sitting out a long time. I also like the one outside of the mall because it is by Half Price Books!!

I wholeheartedly agree with #5, ,only I'd just bring one Louisville cop with me in particular;) I would also take the fact that it's cheaper to live in Indiana...I know it's probably cheaper to leave in East STL than in MO, but who would want to live there?

I got pulled by the police over in St. Louis ALL OF THE TIME, and I've yet to be pulled over just once in Louisville. That might be due to the fact that I rarely speed anymore due to a terrible ticket I got just prior to moving here.

What church do you guys go to? I'm sure you've told me before but I forgot.
