A Border City situated by the falls of the Ohio River. Despite it's downtown facing the
Indiana shore, it thinks it's in the middle of
Kentucky. Despite being situated along the lower rim of the Midwest it thinks it's in the middle of the South. Locals refer to the northern half of the metropolitan area as "Southern

A city with what is possibly the most irritating regional pronounciation of a city in the USA, right up there with Norfolk Virginia. Though there is some variation in the regional pronunciation, the typical pronunciation used by

bull" (pronounced in such a way that sounds as if one is gargling ______, quickly swallowing on the second syllable) which could be translated as "getting a male bovine to sit on the toilet."
A city that merged with the large county (Jefferson) where it served as the courthouse, back in 2003, imperializing the area around it, accelerating municipal

Kentucky as well as other large cities in the rest of the region like
Chicago,
Cincinnati, Nashville TN, St. Louis, and Indianapolis
