Talk:Union Station (Louisville)

Southern United States?
"It was stated to be the largest railroad station in the Southern United States, covering forty acres (16 ha).[2]"

Given that Louisville is on the banks of the Ohio River (just across from Indiana), and that Kentucky was a Union (though slave) state during the Civil War, it's rather difficult to think of Louisville as a "southern" city. It is only the most liberal definition of "southern" that lets Louisville be so included. 66.234.220.195 (talk) 19:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Kentucky is generally classified as a southern state, so Louisville tends to get lumped in with that. Louisville also has a tradition of backing the confederacy (ironically not until after the war was over), there are a lot of influential ex-confederates in Louisville history, confederate memorials, etc. So it's not such an out-there statement, especially historically. Also consider the L&N railroad's obvious ties with the Southern states, as opposed to the northern or midwest. --Rividian (talk) 21:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
