For a really good meal I can highly recommend Mike Linnigs Rest. a very hot rod friendly place, best fish and onion rings in town!
Hope you have a great weekend in Louisville!

 

go see the place where they make the baseball bats

 

Hullabalou should be good, since your gonna be in the Ville I would check out Lynn's Paradise Cafe, lots of freaks there. And you could check out the cruise at Valor Academy on Bardstown Rd, in Fern Creek on Saturday night. LaBamba's on Bardstown rd is great for a burrito (burritos as big as your head) at 3am.

 

sounds good....... thanks guys
keep em' coming !

 

also who has the bes BBQ ?
CRUISE NIGHTS SOUND GOOD

 

The cruise at Valor academy is friday night.

 

In owensville they have the WWII airplane that was dug up from 200 ft of ice and restored. The lost squadron landed on the glacer during the war after running out of fuel. The plane is named glacier girl.Pldwolof

 

Corvette Museum is in Bowling Green, about 1-1/2 hours south of L'ville.

 

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Tour just south of Frankfort, yes free samples. Mammoth Cave south of Louisville.

 

I like Mark's Feed Store.....probably something better, but they gots some good bergoo

 

thanks guys.......... i wrote them down and will be hopefully going to a bunch including valor.... thanks
anymore ideas, don't be shy

 

Churchill Downs is a pleasant diversion for a few hours. The place is full of tradition, history, and legend.

 

Lexington has Throughbred park, real cool bronze statues of jockeys and their horses. Also, the road that runs out of town (sorry, don't know the name) is lined with all the Throughbred farms. These places are like palaces for horses! We really enjoyed rolling down the two lane and looking at all the killer horse farms.

 

Patton Museum, Ft Knox, Louisville Slugger.
Holley MFG, Corvette Museum amd Dan Cherry's F-4 are all in Bowling Green

 

THANKS AGAIN
how bout ice cream, malts, burger joints, bbq, or drive in's ?

 

If you have a half of a day, go down to the "Bourbon trail" and sample/learn about the bourbon process. I would end up at Makers Mark, or if you only have one place to go, Makers is the one to tour.

Also, don't forget to eat @ http://www.lynnsparadisecafe.com/ , it is a quirky little place that has a GREAT breakfast/lunch.

I think that there is a swapmeet this weekend or maybe it was last weekend.

If you stop in Bowling Green try "Toots"

 

mammouth caves, underground boat tour caves , lincoln's birthplace are all near the corvette museum

 

also at bowling green airport there was a ford trimotor you could fly on

 

i am positive i will be going to lynns.........
how about from there headed east........ i know theres got to be something worth mentioning. the somernites thing seems a bit out of the way as we do have to be home by monday afternoon. thanks for all the info and keep em' coming please.
oh yeah that tri motor plane sounds good as well

 

Oh yea, I kinda' be careful on chasing junk in the "country".......the still brew moonshine down there and they will shoot before asking who is driving down the driveway in some areas.
