Louisville

A friend and I will be passing through Louisville in early January. We won't have much time - an overnight with a good part of the day on either side. Looking for recommendations for a cool motel/hotel/hostel and a fun neighborhood to stroll around in. What we're not: shoppers, clubbers, or sight see-ers. Tips for a reasonable restaurant with good libations are welcome. We won't have much time, so we're not trying to do and see everything, just want to bum around and get and get an impression of the place, meet the friendly locals. :)

Seems like they've been revamping this tour recently, so I don't know what I'd get if we stopped. We have two smaller kids, and if there is still a self-guided tour around the grounds, I'd stop to let the family stretch their legs. If it is still "hustle into a room to watch a video" or a full blown tour only, I'll give this one a pass. Can anyone give me insight into what I could truly expect? Thanks!

We will be visiting Louisville for a couple of days after the 4th of July. Our two daughters will be with us (ages 8 & 5). We're going to try & hit Churchill Downs for the closing day of the season on 7/5, but other than that, we aren't sure what else to see, or what areas to stay in.

I'm going in April to visit Cave Hill Cemetery and the artsy areas - can anyone suggest a place to stay that would be within walking distance of the cemetery? Also, I'd like a non-chain restaurant suggestion. Nothing too fussy or formal; I liked Artemisia when I was in L-ville in 2003. And the Paradise Cafe rocks! Thanks, Mary

Hello, Going to Louisville for the first time in a couple of weeks for Thunder Over Louisville. We are staying at the Hyatt downtown and I had several questions all of which relate to Thunder. Where to see fireworks and air show? 1) Is there a "best" place to see the fireworks and air show? If yes, where? 2) Would the Hyatt be an o.k. place to see the air show but not fireworks? Riverfront park question. 1) Would you advise getting down to the park at opening (6AM) to save a place or is that a waste of time? I booked the hotel downtown so we wouldn't have to drive afterward so if you would consider that when responding it would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

My husband and 3 friends are traveling on the Ohio River. Today 5/10 they are in the area of Alton, just below Leavensworth. We need to know if there is any Marina's or Public Docks that these guys can tie off too and either get gas or walk to get gas. They are sorta in a desperate situation. We would appreciate this info as soon as possible. I have searched online and cannot find anything. And the Charts most of the numbers are invalid. PLEASE if you can look in your local phone directory and find anything below the Lock in Louisville and between Alton and Louisville would be very helpful. Thanks Donna
