Grew up in Paducah. Moved to Atlanta after college. Reading the comments section of my hometown newschannel’s Facebook feed makes me laugh and cry simultaneously. You can guarantee there will be 200+ comments for anything related to Trump but less than 5 comments on anything that actually impacts the local community.

Yes we’re barefoot in KY, it’s because we lost our boots putting them up the asses of people who ask that

I knew a guy who actually would go barefoot everywhere he was allowed to specifically because it annoyed people and pissed them off. At the time I was annoyed at him too for perpetuating that stereotype but now I admire his masterful Kentucky trolling.

Kentucky pros:

  • No statewide indoor smoking ban
  • Bourbon (and Copper & Kings in Louisville)
  • Constitutional carry

Kentucky cons:

  • Both North-South interstates run around the edges of the state, making traveling through it take a while
  • Lots of dry and moist counties
  • They keep bumping up the liquor excise tax so now half of the stuff is more expensive than it is in Ohio

I lived in Louisville for a long time and it’s three syllables, but you have to so make the middle one less really short, no clue what the appropriate punctuation is but just act like you have no front teeth and get through three syllables quickly and you’re good.

Also I loved Louisville but there’s no snow where I live now. And I was living in the ville when Lamar was progressing from freshman quarterback to heisman winner and seeing him wreck the nfl is lol

my gf's house is in the Highlands so there are like a bunch of bars in immediate staggering distance, and lots of restaurants and a few interesting stores. I'd never lived in a city, so I dug it.

They should open up Ear-X-tacy again because I think it would thrive now. Doo Wop Shop, Great Escape, and the Twig and Leaf are staples of that area. It struggled for a bit when 4th street live opened but it's a great place to just walk and people watch. I still can't believe that Phoenix Hill is gone.

Anyone else old enough to remember the Toy Tiger? I played there about 4 or 5 times. I also went the first Red Birds game in .....'82?

Anyone been to the Abe Lincoln birthplace? Maybe its going out of fashion just because its kind of corny and old-school but its pretty nuts. The local community raised money to build what's basically a replica of the lincoln memorial in DC. But then they realized that people just wanted to see the log cabin. But the log cabin had already been destroyed. So they built a replica of the log cabin and put it inside the lincoln memorial. There's a super bored Park ranger who just hangs out inside, reading mystery novels, handing out packets, and making sure you don't touch the fake log cabin.

RI doesn't get made fun of much really. They're probably the least mocked New England state.

Like Vermont is the hippies, NH is stuck up libertarians, Maine is yankee rednecks, Massholes are Massholes, Connecticut is the regional traitor and a prep etc
