The Huffington Post has named Louisville the 5th most underrated city in America. Fort Worth, Akron, Sacramento and Portland were also on the list, along with 13 others.
The Kentucky Derby may be its claim to fame, but the famous horse race isn’t all Louisville has to offer. Nestled on the banks of the Ohio River, this Southern underrated city has loads of small-town charm, a cosmopolitan riverfront district, a diverse art scene–thanks to the Kentucky Center for the Arts–and a growing foodie market with its own Restaurant Row. Sports lovers should make a stop at the Louisville Slugger Museum, while history lovers can sip mint juleps on a river cruise aboard the Belle of Louisville, a National Historic Landmark.

A city is always going to be underrated if its image defining gateway and historical heart features a hideously ugly and out of style form of infrastructure: the elevated waterfront expressway. You can come up with all the cool slogans you want but if your brand has no authenticity then selling a product or city is nearly impossible.
