What is the the best part about living in the greater Louisville region?

I grew up and lived in the midwest (SW Ohio - Cincinnati) into my twenties. My time spent at Ft. Knox was a great learning experience under a terrific mentor. The area itself & the people are warm, welcoming, and generally gracious. Louisville has plenty to offer and the surrounding area expands on that. The drive to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or Tennessee is reasonably short and gives you a tremendous kaleidoscope of activities and culture to experience.

Ft. Knox has a rich history and, if memory serves, is constantly updating the post. I do have to say it has been some time since my last visit but as with most things - the more things change, the more they improve on the same. I can't pin down one favorite, but the ability to travel a few hours and experience a myriad of things is an advantage. Sporting events cascade year around. The ability to sample a range of regional food is certainly a positive.

I can't think of anything negative that stands out about the post so I would put that in the positive side of the ledger. Hope that helps a little.

Right now it's March Madness with the games at the Yum Center. But on an average day it's the cost of living. Everything is so much cheaper here!

I was born and raised in Jefferson County (where Louisville is) and strangely was sent to Fort Knox for basic training...go figure. Anyway being born and raised near Fort Knox (I joke the tank ranges were my lullaby) there is a lot to see and do. If you enjoy the outdoors, there are lots of outdoor activities both on and off post, other than mountain climbing you are likely to find it within a hour or less drive. Louisville has several museums, a 100 year old steamboat and spends two weeks partying for a 2 minute horse race in May. We do have 4 distinct seasons, but a favorite saying is if you don't like the weather wait 24 hours...I have seen KY go from clear skies to severe weather including tornadoes to snow in a 24 hour period. I have been complimented by many people around the world on our friendliness and hospitality. Although there are a few "GI Towns" right off-post, Louisville for the most part has not been affected by that very much. In civilian life before and after my service, I have worked with dependents & retired military that decided to retire at Fort Knox rather than return to their hometown.
