I am Bob Bahr's nephew, no JOKE!

I am Bob Bahr's nephew and go to college at WKU. He is my dad's brother. No kidding. I have lived in louisville all my life. And I am here to tell you that this book has it all. Everything inside of it is all true, and the best part, the amazement of this woderful city of Louisville is caputured in the simplest ways. All suggestions that are made in this book come from many interviews and suggestions from experts. The advice on golf courses comes from my uncle jim. My uncle jim's wife is the sister of my dad and bob. And my uncle played golf for bellermine university and is an avid golfer, so the insight he offers is well worth reading. This book was written very well. And although Bob Bahr is my uncle, and you think i am just saying this cause he is my uncle, you are wrong. i would tell you if it was bad. But it's not, it is worth your money. So if you visit Louisville, pick this book up, and enjoy Derby City!!!!!!

Very Helpful!

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!

A Friendly Way to Discover Louisville

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.
