Louisville, KY is a unique town. And while there are many pros to living here, there are some major cons. Pros would include all the awesome food, and the fact that we experience all four seasons, but the cons are some of the worst and they need to be addressed now. These are Louisville Problems:
1. The Spaghetti Junction
Driving through this downtown intersection of highways is equivalent to driving through a maze. It is the reason you have accidentally driven across the bridge to Indiana multiple times in your driving career.
2. Parking
When it comes to parking downtown or in Old Louisville, forget it. Every street is by permit only or has insane parking hours like 2a.m.-7a.m. every other Monday and Thursday.
3. Being under 21
Louisville is definitely an alcohol town. We have countless bars and everyone is obsessed with bourbon. Being under 21 while living in Louisville is basically asking to have no social life.
4. Seeing a decked out UK fan
Going out and about in the city and seeing someone in head-to-toe UK clothes is seriously sickening. Like, what are you doing? Move to Lexington where the ambulances are blue.
5. Deciding where to eat
Deciding what restaurant to go to is like deciding which way you want to win a million bucks. There are SO many options and all of them are amazing. Even after my mom moved to Chicago, she said she still missed the food in Louisville.
6. Snow
Ahh, the snow. It comes every year, but every time it does, people literally freak out. Everyone acts like it's the apocalypse and nobody knows how to drive anymore. Schools close at the sight of one flurry and everyone needs to chill out.
7. The rain
Again, magically everyone forgets how to drive when it even sprinkles.
8. Traffic
For a relatively small city, we have a lot of traffic. If there's even a small wreck on the other side of the highway, everyone will be backed up because they want to stare at it and see what happened. Also, nobody can handle any type of construction.
9. Speaking of construction...
It is never ending.
