Louisville Officials Associations

[GoodwillRef]

I got a buddy of mine moving to Louisville at the end of March...can someone give me some information on some local official associations? He works football and basketball.

You mean Louisville, KY (LOO-vul), right? Not one of the 10 other communities in the U.S. with that name?

Here's a good start:

What is a "Kentuckiana"?

I'm guessing it's east of Texarkana.

"Is that in Texas or Arkansas?"

"Arkansas!....I think...?"

Well, since it's not "Kentuckinois," "Kentuckihio," "Kentuckiginia," or "Kentuckiessee," I'm going to go out on a limb that it may be a cross between "Kentucky" and "Indiana."

If I said I was moving to Philadelphia, would you ask if I meant Pennsylvania or one of the other more obscure Philadelphias?

BTW, I lived in an apartment in Louisville, TN (which is just south of Knoxville and is pronounced Lewis-ville to the surprise of every telemarketer who called) for a couple of years and even I read the OP's question and immediately thought of Kentucky.

Likewise, if the OP had said Columbus, I would've assumed Ohio (even though my home is in Columbus -- in WI).

Well, maybe if *I* say I'm moving to Philadelphia, you should ask.

Louisville, CO, is also pronounced "Lewis-ville."

Nevada, IA, is pronounced "Nu Vade uh."

Wait, what was the question?

Philadelphia is near DeKalb Jct....a well known speed trap along US 11 near Watertown, NY.

Of course you are forgetting Gouverneur ... the booming metropolis between the two & and home of the lifesaver.

Growing up in Watertown, and going to school at Clarkson, had me travelling US 11 more times than I can count (of course, the fans know that I can't count higher than 2). I was never stopped along route 11, other than the random border patrol stop.

And home of Kinney Drugs. I did not forget Gouverneur, but I never got a ticket there, either. Malone, Potsdam, Canton, Gouverneur, darkness, Watertown. Dang that trip to Batavia was long.
