The heart of the quilting world is Paducah, KY, about a 3-hour drive from Louisville. Home to the American Quilting Society and its huge annual April quilt show. Also, the National Quilt Museum. And Hancock's of Paducah, one of the top fabric stores in the US. https://www.paducah.travel/quilting/
Was 100% scrolling through looking to see if the places from last July were on here.
Shocked you did not include the incredibly shady hotel I stayed at right next to the store proudly selling "the cheapest cigarettes you'll find in 49 states".
Reading this makes me realize how little I get out these days (a 15 month old does not help). I don't think I could come up with this many recommendations for Seattle.
As I have somehow managed to collect a large swath of Internet-friend Kentuckians (Kentucky-ites? How do y'all collective-noun yourselves?), this will be handy sooner rather than later.
This also reminds me that years ago, I was at a historic rehabilitation tax credit conference where the featured speaker was one of the architects who worked on the project around the Louisville Slugger museum, and all that dude could talk about was the big bat. Lol.
Unfortunately, I think the US Army's tank museum moved from Fort Knox (about 30min away?) to Georgia, and might not have recovered as a regular public space after the move and the 'rona.
I did a bachelor trip weekend in Louisville a couple years back and it was an amazing city to just parachute into, do all sorts of events and drinking then jump back out of two-ish days later.
A curated weekend in Louisville, with the Cookbook!
Olaf not included.
I want that bagel sandwich worse than I want air
I'm just here for the petty grudges causing places to not make the list.

I've really got to get down to Louisville before the husband and I decamp from Cincinnati for greener pastures (Cleveland, babyyyyy)

Excellent list! There’s a couple things I would add to it but I’m wondering if they aren’t on there due to a bad experience/personal grudge lol
I love this and now I immediately wish that you'd do this for every city in the world.

That was pretty damn cool circa 2010.
