Kentucky at a Glance

Louisville, Kentucky:
Whether you're visiting Louisville on business or for pleasure, the 'River City' will dazzle you with its blend of restored historic sites and chic new corporate buildings, arts, sports, and of course, race horses.

Louisville is widely known as the Derby City, because of the running of the famed Kentucky Derby each May at Louisville’s Churchill Downs race track. But the city has much more to offer than this one spectacular event.

Kentucky Travel Notes

Cincinatti, Kentucky

Cincinnati! Are You Kidding: by Leon Schwarzbaum.

When 'Places Rated Almanac' rated Cincinnati as America's most livable city, most of America snickered - "Cincinnati? Are you kidding?" was heard across the land.

Summer in Cincinnati: by Bridget Coila.

After the winter snow has melted and the spring thunderstorms have quieted down, Cincinnati wakes up to its most exciting season.

With many Cincinnati area attractions open only from April through September, summer is the perfect time to visit the 'Queen City'.

Covington, Kentucky

The World's Longest Outdoor Sale: by Mary Mihaly.

If the goddesses of flea marketing were to create a special little heaven here on Earth, surely it would be the 127 Corridor Sale - or the world's longest yard sale.

Every year, beginning the first Thursday in August, treasure hunters from all over the country brave the scorching heat and spend four days handling other people's used stuff.

Originally starting in Covington, Kentucky; and winding south through Tennessee, to end in Gadsden, Alabama.

In 2007 the route was extended northward from Covington and since 2010, the sale has been extended up to Hudson, Michigan.

Louisville, Kentucky

May Looks Great in Louisville: by Shelley Poulton.

Horses, trainers, more than 125,000 race fans and the media descend on Louisville in the month of May for the world famous Kentucky Derby.
