Calling all Southerners

[scbelle]

^^^ I'd also chime in for Jefferson County. Even though my heart belongs to SC and there are stellar schools in Dorchester County (District 2), I lived in Louisville when I attended seminary. I loved, loved, loved it. I also worked in a couple of schools in Jeff county and thought very highly of them. And the area (at least 7 years ago) was very clean, pretty low in crime, and close to other major cities. And it's hard to beat Louisville during Derby time. Thunder over Louisville was AWESOME!

I attended Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary to pursue my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'm not currently employed, but do volunteer as a therapist at the Chaplain's Family Life center.

Being there on Alta Vista Rd... it's pretty easy to fall in love with Louisville. The area is beautiful.

Cool. I've known a few ministers who went there (most in my area went to Union or Columbia or, maybe, Princeton), although the Louisville grads I've known would have all been there decades ago.

Is that Union-NY or Union-Richmond (another great southern area, to keep things on topic)? My dad graduated from the latter. Met my mom when she was attending PSCE there. She also has worked as a librarian at Union-PSCE and Columbia, where I have had quite a few friends attend. The only Princeton grad I've known was my church's associate pastor. Another associate we had graduated from Austin. I'm a big Presbyterian PK nerd, in case you couldn't tell.

Union in Richmond, of course. My wife went to PSCE (before it became Union-PSCE). My grandparents and my uncle and aunt were also Union-PSCE couples. I'm not a PK, but only because neither of my parents were ministers. (Both elders, though.) As one cousin put when asked why he bacame a mininster, the whole family is so lousy with ministers, he didn't know until he was a "big boy" that there was anything else to do.

To get back to topic, I still have to pull for NC.

Hopkinsville, KY or Bowling Green, KY

i think you'd get a better feel for the South from a mid-sized town. i grew up in Hoptown and went to WKU in BG. they're both centrally located. you can get several major cities in short drives. some people commute for work, others for fun.
