4.0 out of 5 stars A Friendly Way to Discover Louisville, April 12, 2000

This review is from: The Insiders' Guide to Louisville and Southern Indiana, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

James Nold and Bob Bahr's "The Insiders' Guide to Louisville" is crammed with interesting, honest and friendly information about the city they both love and call home. From restuarants to spectator sports, from nightlife to real estate, these authors offer an wonderfully imformative introduction to Louisville. On every couple of pages, they include "Insider Tips" to add personal advice to their guide book.

I was a little disapointed with the lack of maps. I would have liked to see numbered maps corresponding to the venues and places they discussed. So, if you are using this as your only guide, buy a city map, too!

On the whole, however, this is a knowledgable guide book filled with clear advice.

This review is from: The Insiders' Guide to Louisville and Southern Indiana, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

Just go back from Louisville and used this book for EVERYTHING! Three years after it was published I was still able to use it to cram so much into my visit. I planned visits to historical sites, restaurants and points of interest every day with this guide. Two things you have to do when buying this edition is buy a good city map and call to make sure whatever restaurant you want to go to is still in business (only happened once). Louisville has so much to offer, great food, fun and so much history (2nd only to Boston for the number of historical sites). If you don't have a guide you will miss so many things!

I'm guessing that Louisville just isn't that big to have a guide updated frequently. This is still a good guide, but as it's so outdated (1997), the shopping and restaurant guides are not much use.
