Some scenes from downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The city is located on the south side of the Ohio River across from Indiana. The city of Louisville has approximately 250,000 residents and nearly 1 million more people live in the Louisville metropolitan area. The Louisville area is probably best known for the
Kentucky Derby, held each year at
Churchill Downs. The
Louisville Slugger factory and
museum are located in an historic part of downtown Louisville that has been reborn into a touristy area with the Slugger Museum, artists' glass studios, a children's museum, and other attractions. Louisville is also known as the home of
Bourbon whiskey. 
The World's Biggest Bat! Made of steel, it weighs 68,000 pounds and stands 120-feet tall. The Big Bat is an exact-scale replica of Babe Ruth's 34-inch Louisville Slugger. Bud Hillerich's signature is on the Big Bat, a tribute to the man who turned the company's first bat. It stands at the entrance to the Slugger Museum.
