We've seen the signs: Resurgences in neighborhoods surrounding our downtown, cranes dotting our skyline, history coming back to life on Whiskey Row, shows like "Top Chef" picking us before so-called buzzy cities like Cincinnati and Indianapolis.

The magazine asked "high-end travel designers" to name the places they'd send their clients. These are the people who typically lean on travel agents to plan their "once-in-a-lifetime experiences."

What's even more amazing is that the blurb about Louisville — which the magazine lists first — is that it doesn't even mention the Kentucky Derby.

Instead, it tells travelers to stay at the "storied Brown Hotel" and 21C hotel for its amazing art. It tells them to check out the food scene and immerse themselves in our "good vibes."

It also suggests a "must-see" stop at the nearby Bulleit Bourbon distillery. Because, well, bourbonism is a thing.

Louisville

“Louisville is all about good times and good vibes, with vibrant music and art, and a burgeoning food and drinks scene, all characterized by notable southern hospitality,” says Tom Marchant, the co-founder and owner of Black Tomato. It’s also home to some excellent places to stay, from the storied Brown Hotel to the buzzy 21c boutique hotel that also serves as a contemporary, multi-venue art museum. “You can get to the heart of a city by looking at its drinking culture,” he continues. Kentucky is bourbon country, and “the nearby home of Bulleit Bourbon at Stitzel-Weller Distillery is a must-see.”

Sorry, it's an unnatural competitive advantage for championships to be held in home cities unless you are on Tobacco Road.

Silly me. I'll go back to the back of the bus with all the other non tobacco rd schools.
