Man oh man

Louisville was just named The Manliest Town in America by GQ Magazine [insert grunt, scratch, and upward nod here].  I knew Lou would beat out Key West and LA but there is pretty stiff competition against Chicago, Boston, and Detroit (err maybe they're just more gangsta).

But the argument that true gentlemen know baseball, bourbon, and betting made perfect sense.  The article highlights all of my favorite places in Lou:
-21c museum & hotel/Proof
-The Brown Hotel
-Louisville Slugger Museum (confession, I have never been)
-Garage Bar
-Please & Thank You
-Churchill Downs
-Meat
-The Bourbon Trail (again, I have never been but it's on my short list)

It's nice to see that the epitome of men's essence, GQ, has acknowledged that Louisville is greater than its history and the proof is in the city-- art, food, drink, culture.  The sweet Southern style of Louisville is not a front-- Lou's are all about hospitality, taking it slow (except when it comes to racing) and enjoying the moment.  To our testament, I will say that Louisville has some pretty classy ladies that could teach the men a thing or two.

The gentlemen of Louisville know how to compliment a woman—and do so often.
