While I was driving home today from the coffee shop, I was thinking about all of the things I would call "affectionately strange" that can be found in Louisville, KY. This list is not comprehensive, but it nearly is.
1. Banana trees. What is up, this isn't the tropics!!!
2. Dancing, earphone-clad people advertising K-Mart sales by standing on street corners in wife beaters, holding signs.
3. The money collectors for charity organizations that back up traffic for miles....and miles....and miles....and while raising money for children have undoubtedly caused many children with no a/c to suffer from heat exhaustion as their parent's cars trudge through the traffic.
4. Who names a liquor store after a saint? (St. Andrews Liquor Store)
5. You're not cool unless you have a magnetic ribbon sticker on your car!
6. No trace of Chipotle anywhere--Qdoba is the king of Mexican and Moe's holds a weak second.
7. People get billy-clubbed in your sideyard at midnight-30!
That's all I've got. But really, I feel a sort of allegiance to Louisville. They call this place the velvet rabbithole- once you're in it, it's hard to get out of. The cost of living is cheap, and it really is a neat town, oddities and all.
