What do you think of Kentucky?

Question

I have lived all over Kentucky--Webster County, Lawrenceburg, Louisville, Northern Kentucky--and find it to be just sucky. The weather is unpredictable, the people are terrible drivers, and the people are also some of the rudest, most impolite anywhere. There, it's not what you know or how good of a person you are, it's who you know; if you're connected to the elite in your town or related to a prominent family, people will literally ignore you. When I lived there and worked among the public in retail, I found that the nicest people I dealt with came from places outside of Kentucky. I've received better service in restaurants in Ohio, New Jersey and New York than in a typical small Kentucky town.

Sure, there are nice and mean people everywhere, but Kentucky boasts about its friendliness and warm hospitality. HA!!! I'm impartial to Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas--I LOVE those places b/c of the warm weather, friendly people, and cheaper cost of living.

By the way, Louisville is so bad, it makes New York City look friendly.

In the rural areas outside the major cities, people really do walk around barefooted in Wal-Mart. It doesn't help the stereotype any.

Answer 1

I actually liked Kentucky. I worked in Fort Mitchell and Erlanger for a few years. Of course, they are almost considered 'Greater Cincinnati' so maybe they have the Ohio mentality. I visited Louisville and Lexington several times and have not noticed anything particularly rude .. not any more than just about anywhere I've lived.

Answer 2

i think its too boring, quiet and country for me....i once went there to hazard and visited prestonburg and i wanted to leave the first day....there was nothing to do, the only radio station that came in was a country one....thank god i brought my cd's otherwise i would of went nuts! but i thought the mountains were nice as long as i wasnt riding down a road on one...but i did and i was terrified for my life, i'm afraid of heights and i thought if i died no one would find me in years, theres so many trees, mountains and lakes there and all spread out and some of the houses you couldnt even see because they were on a hill, ect....i'm just glad to be back in my state....
