District articles?[edit]
Since there are no links to any, shouldn't the notice that there are such articles be deleted for now? (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 18:20, 24 June 2012 (EDT)
Dive bars in Louisville?[edit]
Is this paragraph necessary? All cities the size of Louisville have seedy dive bars, where you can probably find "mishmash, smattering of local color jabber-banter" (whatever that is). Louisville's aren't unique.Beeelb (talk) 15:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
"If you're the voyeur type, a Tom Waits fan, unexposed and looking for some culture shock, or just want to connect with some real locals, you might check out the forty or so hole-in-the-wall bars scattered throughout Smoketown, Germantown, Shelby Park, and Downtown. These places can range from extremely seedy (could get accosted) to the utterly laidback (ability to enjoy your malt 40 with cheap soulfood and the occasional mishmash, smattering of "local color" jabber-banter). Not for the faint of heart."
Pronunciation[edit]
Congratulations to whoever wrote the 'How to pronounce the name' infobox, it's really excellent.
Just to push things one step further, could it be stated how "Derby City" is pronounced? As a Brit, I'd naturally say "DAR-bee", but something tells me "DUR-bee" is more likely to be the right answer. Probably worth addressing.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 20:18, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hmm. You're right, in that the word "derby" is always pronounced DAR-bee in British and DUR-bee in American. That's true whether it's an uncapitalized noun or a proper name. (I noticed this difference listening to Stephen Fry in Stephen Fry in America and QI, and also Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work when Queen Elizabeth and her entourage came to the Kentucky Derby. I was a little surprised that none of the Americans in those documentaries confused by the different pronunciation; maybe staff who are senior enough to be interacting with the Queen have just learned about this pronunciation difference, but also they probably would have cut out any "Huh? What's a 'darbee'?" moments from the documentaries.) I guess a note probably would be helpful. --Bigpeteb (talk) 17:18, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
