1. Been there? Live or lived there?
2. What do you think of it? How well do you like it?
3. What comes to mind when you think of Kentucky?
As for me...
1. Live here, in the Louisville-Lexington area. (I've also lived in the Madisonville, Murray, and Covington-Newport areas.)
2. Too many rednecks and too much white trash, most folks are rude and impolite; don't like it here! It sure is beautiful, though.
3. Hmmm...fried chicken, horses, Churchill Downs, swamps (in far west KY,) mountains, Shaker Village, rock fences, Green River, Corvettes, Mammoth Cave, Trail of Tears, palisades, My Old Kentucky Home, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Land Between the Lakes, Colonel Sanders Cafe, Cumberland Falls, Natural Bridge, Newport Aquarium, Mellow Mushroom, toothless hillbillies, rednecks, pickup trucks w/ confederate flags blasting rap music, etc.

1. i live here in somerset, pulaski co.
2. i love it i would not live anywhere else i am close to the lake the cumberland falls the tennessee line and all kinds of great stuff. what i hate is the tourist the ohio-indiana-everywhere else snobby assholes that act like they would charge YOU to wipe their behinds. they leave trash in the lake and dump their sewers in it from their houseboats too. also it is impossible to find decent work here.
3. what comes to mind is beauty all year round very nice locals(face it youre gonna have assholes anywhere you go) blue skies, church on sunday barbecue on saturday and a place where neighbors still deliver pies when you move in the neighborhood.
one thing i would love to clear up is this:: people realize!!!:::
THERE ARE REDNECKS IN EVERY PART OF THE WORLD
not just the south.

If you live there, you DON'T live in the Louisville-Lexington area -- they are 90 miles apart at best;
I have lived in several towns in Kentucky (as well as 9 other states) and the description you provided could fit any or all of them. Kentucky is a beautiful state and several of the places--even the ones full of rednecks--are actually very nice places to live and the "natives" become friendly if you treat them as equals and not as beneath you.
You left out the beautiful horse farms in the Bluegrass; Cumberland Gap; University of Kentucky; Transylvania College; University of Louisville; the Ohio River; Kentucky River; etc.

1. Visited Louisville many times.
2. I liked it, but mostly because of the nature of the visits. Not sure I would want to live there ...
3. I think of a lot of the same things you do, but I also think of my relatives ( ... one of whom got a 14 year old pregnant on his 21st birthday), paddle boats on the Ohio, magnolias, red buds, green buds, red brick houses with white trim, bourbon, basketball, blue grass, coal mines, and Cherokee Park. And fruitcakes ... as in the kind my grandma used to make.

Kentucky's one of the best states,for it's natural beauty,
there's so many things to do there.But something you all
haven't mentioned.It's a great place to get away from all
those obnoxious yankees.They don't go there.

Just remember that if you want to be considered a native, "Louisville" has, at most, two syllables.
