"A third world country in a Gucci belt" - the cities on either side of this bridge.

It's sometimes a nice walk until you inevitability reach the KY side and are immediately ripped from a scenic walk by either religious extremists or some random advertising. You didn't think you'd be able to just enjoy being outside, did you? LOL. It's Louisville! I assume it takes money to advertise there, though where that money is going I haven't a clue. 1)In warmer months there's often obnoxious young adults & kids running around. So no spending on 'security', even with the incredibly high rate of gun violence in Louisville. 2)In warmer months the trash on both sides is overflowing from the bins.3)The playground is NOT maintained; a hook is missing from the moving bridge, there are several loose planks, merry-go-round is missing several bolts, slides are cracked or missing chunks. 4)No pets allowed on the bridge due to no poo clean up.

IN at least there's never someone bombarding you with opinions. The eateries are MUCH better than the Louisville side, too. The park is smaller and less TO maintain but still has issues. The disability swing has no straps to secure someone with mobility issues, an entire round swing is gone, a chain is missing from an item meant to be secured to the ground.

If you search "prison toilet" you'll know what the toilets are like on both sides.

Now, this isn't some abhorrent place. For sure support the local venues and visit if you're in the immediate area. But manage your expectations. Both sides also have a housing problem and the drug epidemic has effected Sourthern IN considerably. Louisville absolutely has a problem with gun violence and someone was shot and killed near the bridge on the KY side somewhat recently. There's a lot of nicer places where you can actually enjoy being present out in the world.. without worrying over safety & being subjected to extremists & advertising.
