Hello,

I will be moving to Murray, KY in a few months and I would like to know as much as possible about Murray. So if anyone could tell me anything about it please do. Just tell me how it is there, is there anything a Wisconsin girl like me would find weird down there? LOL. Just anything you would like to say about Murray, please post it. Thanx guys for all your help.

Smile Grew up in Murray

My husband and I both grew up in Murray, and we are very fond of the town. We are now in our 40s and live elsewhere in Ky, but we have family there, including a niece at Murray High.

Drawbacks: In the backend of nowhere, it's small and everyone knows your business, if you aren't "from" there it can be hard to get to know people (being in school helps a lot).

Benefits: The lakes (beautiful and lots of recreation area), it's small and you can pretty much go anywhere and be safe, the university is a great school and offers a lot of opportunity for all ages in the community (it's very community oriented), people are very friendly once you get to know them.

There are two school districts: Murray and Calloway Co., and the rivalry is of course a big deal. My siblings all went to Calloway and did sports and band; I went to Murray and did band (which is a very, very big deal at Murray - former national champions). Both school districts are top notch in terms of education, and I can say that having been a high school teacher.

Personally, I loved it, and now that I have young children I regret that they do not have some of the things I had growing up. They have plenty of cultural experiences I didn't get, but on the other hand they have no freedom to speak of. I could go almost anywhere anytime safely ... and as much as things change over the years, that's still true in Murray. Give it a chance, and try not to judge too harshly if you're from a larger area. You may like it a lot!
