Fond Memories And Festivities 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Jeffersontown is something else, after growing up here, I’ve come and gone several times. I always wound up coming back, because it’s such a great environment to be in, and I highly recommend for families. Some of my fondness memories growing up were with my brother and the l ...Read More ocal baseball team. Schools are pretty good as well.

During rush hour, however, traffic can be a bit tough, but I don’t know anywhere where traffic isn’t an issue. Access to the highways are otherwise a nine issue, and it’s easy to get out of the city into Louisville if that’s your thing.

There are a number of restaurants too, and if you like fast-food, we have many of the popular chains around town. One of the best parts of J-town though, is the Gaslight Fesitival. People from all around flock to see the parade, and the carnival, and it adds wonders to the beauty of the city.

Quiet, safe, family friendly, J-town is great for you! Read Less
