But I do agree with the person from the Iroquois Park neighborhood. I have lived in Louisville for my entire 52 years. And they were all spent in Okolona. We have never referred to Okolona as the South End. The South End is Iroquois Park to us. My ex husband was raised in the Iroquois area and when he moved to Okolona he actually always referred to it as the east end. Ironic! Okolona does have it's ethnic issues and rednecks to boot but it's always been home to me. I raised my children here and they are both very successful adults with a great appreciation for culture and food as the author suggests. Louisville has a great variety of art, culture, sports and food to offer. But honestly, we all know you can get anywhere in Louisville in 20 minutes. So no matter where your home or stomping grounds are you can always make it to any of the amazing events nightly with little effort. When me and my husband opened our business in the Highlands we were able to offer our children new adventure but after searching for housing in the Highlands we discovered that the 20 minute drive down I65 South each evening brought us peace and quiet that we didn't have in the city all day (and a driveway for our car!). Also, on our drives in the morning heading North on I65 it sometimes scares us the smog that lingers over the skyline. That's the days I'm glad I get to retreat to Okolona in my lovely home and breath the fresh air of this great place called Louisville, Kentucky. Also, the author isn't an asshole, he is one man with an opinion. He obviously was raised with character and class to go out into the world and seek adventure. I see this young man going far in life. Maybe not in the South End but his is talented and a very articulate author. This was an amazingly written article. But I do agree with the person from the Iroquois Park neighborhood.

I have lived in the Iroqouis Park neighborhood my whole life and am nothing like what is described. No one knows about Louisville hidden treasures because of this bad talk.....the south end Valumarket with its huge ethnic selection, Swags Sport Shoes a local business open for 30+ years as is considered one of the nations top fifty running stores 3 years in a row. Iroqouis Park is one of the best parks in the city. The Amerciana Center (old Holy Rosary) is doing so much with immigrants and sustainability.

This eyesore results in an image defining gateway, that is completely inadequate to compete in the 21st century. It is not imperative that Louisville remove the freeway from its river but it is vital that the city have a plan to at the very least build a context sensitive road that moves traffic while presenting a marketable face to the world.
