I'm a western Kentucky girl!!! Murray/Paducah area. Love it. But it's small. Not alot to do, which I LOVE. All about mudding and horseback riding, haha.. so it's not for everyone. But when the hubby gets out of the military, 10 more years, we'll be retiring.. at home sweet home Kentucky. Haha..

West. Ky is a great place to visit again and again; shoot, I'm originally from there. But, I would NEVER move back there. Too rural, too "country cultured," weak job market, not very close to any major cities, and there aren't even but just like six Starbucks in Ky. west of I-65. I live in a semi-rural area now yet I can still be at two Wal-Mart Supercenters, Home Depot, Target, two McDonald's, Starbucks, two Krogers, Applebee's, Office Depot, and a cinema in LESS than ten minutes!!!

I like the "middle-class" culture element of it, though; it's an area with very little poverty, yet very few that try to flaunt their wealth. There are more simple, everyday, common folks that are just trying to "get by" and rely on God and family. It's not like eastern Kentucky which is in ramshackles. It's not like Boone Co., Lexington, or Oldham Co., which all have Kentucky's strong elements of faux rich pretentiousness (granted, they're not North Dallas or South Beach, but still...) There are pros and cons to practically any place we choose to live.

I've lived in mainly small towns all my life and love it. I like giving someone directions like "go to the second stoplight, turn right and go out about a mile". That's better than "go to exit 40, go to the 4th stoplight, etc." You can walk down t he street and just about know everybody who lives along there. Of course there are drawbacks to that. I think Ted Turner got the idea of CNN getting the news out fast to all points from small towns! lol When my wife and I had our first date, at a local restaurant, Sunday after church, her mother had 3 phone calls wondering who that was with her daughter 45 minutes into our date! That's my opinion on small town living. And opinions are like rear ends...everybody has one! lol

One the greatest places on earth is the Green County area. I was born and raised there. Haven't lived there in 5 years or so but it amazes me to see it anytime I do. Truthfully though, after living outside of the state for a while coming back I honestly say that it made me cry to see the Kentucky state sign. So many people here want to get out and don't realize how amazing it is.

I love my home state of Kentucky, but among my favorite places are those that I have the most memories of growing up around the central Bluegrass region. I love the open green spaces of Woodford, Jessamine, and the surrounding areas. I also really enjoy going to Pike Co., Cumberland Falls, and cruising up the Kentucky River where the palisades are on either side.

I remember going to Cumberland Falls years ago, when I was able to walk across above the falls. I think there's probably a fence that deters that now!

You measure how cool a place is by how many Wal-Marts, Home Depots, and Starbucks there are?

I've gone to school in Murray, KY, and let me tell you that regarding the money thing, that's where it is. I'm sure it's similar in Lexington, Louisville, and other places in KY, but out near Murray/Paducah is where I think the average American millionaire lives. Keep in mind that the average American millionaire's daily vehicle is a Ford F-150.

You think I was measuring a place's coolness factor "by how many Wal-Marts, Home Depots, and Starbucks" it has? What?!

It is convenience/close-to-civilization factor. Not coolness factor.

Come to California if you want coolness factor.
