Hey, it's a quiz about my hometown and the metropolitan area. As the former spokesman for the local Chamber of Commerce, I should be good to go here. I'll keep the directions fairly straightforward. There's nothing out of the ordinary, just RTFQ and you should be good to go.

Did you know there are two Interstate 265 highways in metro Louisville? (That's not the question) One in Indiana and the other in the city. They're not connected yet (but we're working on it after 40 years, finally). Here's the question -- both I-265s are named after long-term Congressmen. Name either the Indiana Democrat who served 17 terms and is best known for his foreign policy expertise or the Kentucky Republican who served 11 terms and won elections in two separate districts.
Name all three Louisville-based companies to earn a spot in the 2015 Fortune 500.

While in the Army training for World War I, author F. Scott Fitzgerald was stationed in Louisville and used his experiences at a landmark hotel to stage Tom and Daisy's wedding, though in the book he gave it a somewhat different name. Name the hotel, currently part of the Hilton chain.
Musically, Louisville offers the world My Morning Jacket and... Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls and... that's pretty much about it. Well, except for this one-hit wonder whose song "One of Us" reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1996. Name that artist.
The house in this picture was the childhood home of what Louisville native?
Louisville serves as headquarters for General Electric's appliance and lighting division. Name the company that is buying that division from GE.

The Louisville Slugger is synonymous with baseball, but who is the greatest slugger from Louisville? Name the 15-year veteran, who hit 310 home runs and whose 1988 trade would later be criticized by Frank Costanza.
Louisville has a couple connections to Bill Murray's early film career. First, he played the Louisville native considered by many to be the creator of gonzo journalism. He would later play a down-on-his-luck cab driver who sought Uncle Sam's help in a movie filmed partially in Louisville. Name both films.
Louisville is known as a major logistics center, and that traces back to its founding in 1778. Name the natural barrier that forced shippers to disembark in Louisville and carry their cargo on land to Portland (now a neighborhood in Louisville's West End) so it could continue navigating down the river towards such ports as St. Louis and New Orleans.
