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.
