Louisville Officials Associations

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?

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."

I'm guessing it's east of Texarkana.

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."

"Is that in Texas or Arkansas?"

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

The city of Portland Oregon is pronounced the same as Portland Maine. The city of Salem Oregon is pronounced the same as Salem Massachusetts. The city of Albany Oregon is pronounced the same as Albany New York. The city of Detroit Oregon is pronounced the same as Detroit Michigan. There's lots more. I think Oregon probably has the most cities named after other cities.

Unfortunately, there's no Las Vegas Oregon.

There is an Oregon, Wisconsin. It's pronounced Or-uh-GONE. I just worked a game there a few weeks ago.

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