Louisvile picked most liveable city in the USA

No, I'm going for a job with Russian Standard and Imperia Vodka. Why do you ask about the arts?

I hear Hoboken is a great scene as well. I'm choosing to live as a hub for my travels. The is a PATH train that gets you to Manhattan in 14 minutes and a train station that gets you to Boston and Philly. I hear Washington St. is the place to be for bars and restaurants.

Brock, best wishes on this venture, and remember, the forum can be reached from anywhere, so when you heac back this way for a visit, give us a yell!

When we lived in NYC a few years ago (okay, early '90s), Hoboken was gentrifying fast ... it was already a great scene then, and I expect it's even better now.

I'll definitely stay up with this site from time to time to stay in the loop. I'm sure I'll send some yankees to the site before their trips to the Derby.

Thanks,

I made the mistake of reading some of the CJ forum comments after that article. Seriously, it's the kind of thing that could get the "Most Livable City" award revoked!

In spite of some of the insipid trolls who frequent the Courier Journal forums, I love this city and I'm glad I moved back a few years ago.

This Louisville native gives a hearty "Hear hear!"

Since we moved back to Louisville three years ago - after 35 years in Rochester NY - we have entertained many of our old New York friends. This past week we had a couple with us for a few days, folks who travel the world frequently and have pretty high standards. We had dinner at Le Relais( My God, it was perfect!), lunches at Cafe Classico, Shiraz, Third Ave Cafe (trying to hit range of prices and types), served them Jackson's Organic, wandered downtown - 21C, the Museum Plaza mock-up, the Main Street museums; Joe Ley and NuLu, Old Louisville, especially St. James and Belgravia; Cave Hill, the Olmstead Parks and the surrounding neighborhoods... It was just a couple of days, but it was enough to wow our friends, as others have been in the past.

We have become such boosters since our return. We love this city - its range, its contrasts, its beauty, its surprises, its weirdnesses... Despite my, uh, age, I am a big indy music fan. Our friends got in last Saturday. I had spent that whole day at the incredible - and wonderfully strange - Terrastock festival. I made friends with folks from Chicago, New York, Denver (the audience was about 80% out-of-towners). Saturday I was grooving on the lawn at funky Mellwood Arts Center; Sunday I was dining at Le Relais. And it all seemed so right and so Louisville.

Yep, liveable.
