| How To Get Into Louisville |
Step 1: Master the Art of Southern Hospitality
Let's get one thing straight: Louisvillians are the friendliest folks you’ll ever meet. They’re like golden retrievers with accents. To blend in, you’ll need to master the art of Southern hospitality. This involves excessive use of phrases like “bless your heart,” “y’all,” and “sweet tea.” Bonus points if you can learn to make a decent biscuit.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Step 2: Develop a Taste for Bourbon
Bourbon is the lifeblood of Louisville. If you can’t appreciate the complex flavors of this amber nectar, you might as well turn around and go home now. Seriously, though, bourbon is a big deal here. You can tour distilleries, sip on fancy cocktails, or just enjoy a good old-fashioned bourbon and Coke. Just don't call it whiskey.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Step 3: Learn to Love Horse Racing
The Kentucky Derby is a thing in Louisville. Even if you couldn't care less about horses, you'll need to at least pretend to be excited about the Derby. Learn the difference between a thoroughbred and a pony, and practice your "fancy hat" look. If you're really committed, you can even start placing bets. Just don't bet the farm.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
