Nearly every other person in Kentucky, indeed in the nation, is much more concerned about the rivalry between Kentucky and Indiana or Kentucky and Georgia.<br /><br />This shows the bizarre cognitive disconnect in most Louisvilians who simultaneously show hubris at being the state's largest city while acting as if they are not even located in Kentucky, but rather in some vapor-state known as "Kentuckiana".<br /><br />News for you Louisvillians: <br /><br />1. The rest of the state barely knows you exist. <br />2. You are the only large Southern city that is considerably LESS sophisticated than the rest of the state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
