BTW, I'm a native of KY, have done A LOT of traveling across the U.S., and decided that I don't like KY. It's not the greatest place on earth; I'm impartial to Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas.

It's horse country!!!! I just got back from a charming weekend in Danville, loaded with horses, music, shopping, fine dining, true hospitality, and gorgeous scenery. If I ever move, it will be to KY. I go to L'ville every year and it has everything a big city has to offer with a little bit more of a personal feel. Lexington has to be the best, tho. Worth a trip!!!

Culture: more urban and artsy in Louisville, pretty country throughout the rest of the state. Western KY is more of a cowboy state of mind, much more Southern. Eastern KY is basically full of white trash rednecks who have crappy cars and nice homes, or visa versa...seriously.
Natural beauty: abounding
People: 75% of them suck, the 25% that actually aren't from the state are the nicest and easiest to get along with.
Hospitality: SUCKS!
Jobs: where are they?
Economy: if working on the horse farms around Lexington counts... (no offense to those people, but there's not much diversity in the economy)
Weather: okay, but it sucks in the winter, too cold. Never know what it will do and when; I've literally seen it go from cloudy to sunny to rainy to sleet back to sunny all in 24 hours.
If hospitality is what you're looking for, Kentucky sucks! If rude people don't bother you or you don't mind living a secluded life in the hills of eastern KY where there's no Wal-Mart for 45 miles around, KY is your place.

I see Kentucky every day. I don't live too far from the Ohio River and on the other side, Indiana. I love the rolling hills of Kentucky, they are the most beautiful scenes to look at. I love going to Ellis Park and watch the horse races. Been to several towns, it is kind of hard to choose my favorite one. It is a choice between Louisville and Bowling Green for a large town. I love down home folks like me and I have relatives from Kentucky.

I love Kentucky. I grew up there, and in a small hick town as well. The people are so nice. When I first moved there and continuous for 12 years, as you would drive along every person waves from their car. Politeness....loved it. Yes ma'am, no ma'am. The town I refer to is Williamstown. Its so peaceful. IF you ever go to KY, don;t take the interstate....take back roads...US 25 instead of I-75.

I've lived here my whole life, and guess what part! I live right behind Colonel Sanders (the original) LOL.....seriously, its pretty funny seeing people in there buying shirts and taking pictures, but I guess its a pretty big deal. Anyways, I think the land is absolutely beautiful and the food is delicous! We have real neighbourly neighbours who would do any thing to help you out and a church on every street corner. Its wonderful living here and though there's not alot of things to do....you have to make your own fun.

It is one of the easiest states to do genealogical research. My ancestors are from Kentucky. In my researches, I have it found so easy compared to other states. Kentucky centralizes everything. The courthouses and libraries are friendly for the most part. In fact, the last time I went to the State Archives, the lady at the check-in ciunter was so friendly, she gave us ideas when we went to lunch. Very nice.

It's a hell hole. I'm a native, I know. I've lived, worked, or know people in Louisville, Lawrenceburg, Frankfort, and Winchester, and those towns are dumps! Rude people, by the way. The land is beautiful, though. I love Texas!

To each his own. Obviously, no matter what you like or dislike, there'll be people that believe just the opposite. Personally, I wouldn't want to live there, but I have ancestors that where from there, and there's a creek in south western Kentucky named after them. Billington Creek.

They have the friendliest redneck gals & the best moonshine ever made. Just make sure you wave back to the old country timers or they'll cuss you out. We pride ourselves on friendliness. Fried chicken anyone? I can go out in the yard & ring ones neck in a jiffy for ya.

there is no longer something Christian approximately it; it is a shame to Christianity. Contradicts the middle coaching of Christian Charity. that's basically meology, the place Christianity is used to mask prejudice and hatred. it is no longer the 1st time. interior the previous, an identical Church used Christianity to sell slavery and lynchings. remember Rev. Richard Furman of South Carolina who argued for slavery interior the Bible Belt as ordained by God.. all interior the call of God. yet whose God? basically what's the version between this view and the Talibans? unusual yet exciting bedfellows. the only reason we condemn the Talibans is they are focused on us, yet we do an identical component common and seem on the different section and project a faux, hypocritical image of a Christian united states - shame on all persons!
