I'll tell you why. It's the negative, arrogant, rude attitudes of the people, especially the women. Large cities and small towns alike don't want their "ways of life" intruded, and therefore are very cold and impolite to "outsiders," especially eastern KY (Corbin to Winchester and eastward.) I lived there for five years; I felt ostricized for just not being a native.
The rest of the South is great--well, except Atlanta and Florida. The Carolinas are special; Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia have true Southern hospitality. And, of course, the best hospitality can be found in Texas and Oklahoma. But Kentucky? "It's that friendly?" What a crock! Even some of the surrounding states--rural parts of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri--at least don't have people so cold. Yes, Kentucky is beautiful and diverse in geography, but it's a great place to VISIT and to BE FROM! That's it!
