Everyone who lives in Louisville has a common understanding of the way things work around here. I constantly find myself hearing the same things over and over again from people living here and can't help but think about how many times I've heard the same thing. We get it, you live in Louisville.

1. "I accidentally took the bridge to Indiana"

I know people who have lived here their entire lives who still can't drive downtown without getting lost and accidentally ending up in Indiana. How? I don't know but for some reason it happens all the time.

2. "The weather here is so bipolar. Only in Louisville"

Well actually, the weather everywhere is bipolar, but Louisvllians like to believe the unpredictable weather is exclusively reserved for us.

3. "Driving down River Road is so relaxing"

Let me guess, you like to blast music and do it with the windows down too? We've all done it, don't pretend like you haven't.

4. "It's pronounced 'loo-a-vul'"

For some unknown reason we love to correct out-of-owners on the pronunciation of the city. Why we can't just let them say it how it's spelled? I have no clue.

5. "We have to go to Huber's this fall"

I've been every year for almost 10 years yet for some reason I feel I still have to go during the fall. It must be the fried biscuits and apple butter.

6. "Where did you go to high school?"

Why do we have to know where everyone went to high school? Is it because we all peaked in high school and that's all we care about? Possibly, but we still are all guilty of this.

7. "Keep Louisville weird"

You will see this bumper sticker on a 2006 Volvo with a bike rack driving down the highlands at some point in your life. It's guaranteed.

8. "When will Dairy Kastle be open?"

Dairy Kastle is closed during the winter and nobody can handle it. Everyone loses their shit.

9."The traffic here is ridiculous"

The traffic in this town actually isn't that terrible. It might take you 20 extra minutes to get home during rush hour but that's pretty much it. Why we all act like we live in downtown Manhattan and it takes us three hours to get down the street? I don't know.

I am a victim of saying every one of these on one occasion or another. You're not alone. I guess it just comes with the territory.
