Louisville makes top 10 "Cities for Creative 20-Somethings"

[Robin Garr]

To be honest, this story isn't very well done. It was probably written by a free-lancer who's never been here and who did the kind of "research" that 5-cents-per-word writing justifies. "Germantown's warehouses"? Hmm.

It's still good for us to get this kind of publicity, though. Here's the two-paragraph summary of Louisville, which made the Top Ten at No. 8:

15 Cities for Creative 20-Somethings That Aren't New York or Los Angeles

Sure, Louisville is a mecca for sports fans and those trying to break into sports media. It's even a hot tourist destination now that Lonely Planet named it the top U.S. travel destination of 2013. It's also land of the $575 per month for a two-bedroom rent, which means young artists are sniffing it out.

Germantown's warehouses, previously tied to tobacco production, are now home to Louisville's creative class. Official citizens of Bourbon country don't have to worry about bars closing early or a dearth of festivals like the Lebowski Fest. There are dozens of concert venues, which birthed band My Morning Jacket, among others, and quirky contemporary museums and galleries like the work on display at Hotel 21C.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. But it's worth what it cost us (nothing, I assume).

I think your statement that this wasn't the best written article may be an understatement! The description of most of the cities on the latest is not exactly what the cities themselves are about nor what they say they are. I guess it's better than nothing but the article software doesn't give me the desire to visit the cities listed.

This is pretty typical of the corporate clickbait sites, though, Mark. You pay writers a few cents per 100 words (or less) and you're not going to get professional copy.

Sad but true!
