I didn't expect Kentucky to be that low. Looks like on dunno's map on the last page, Lexington and Louisville score ok, but the rest of the state is enough to drag the averages down. Impressed how high New Hampshire ranks, part of the southeast is Boston burbs, but otherwise.
Eastern KY is beautiful country for sure, I remember in July 2007 driving on U.S. 23 down from Portsmouth, OH and then on down through Ashland, Prestonsburg, Pikeville, etc.
This forum is super lucky to have nei. Nei thank you for being a great mod, never inciteful, always seeming to balance things out and be in the middle. You don't seem biased, and most of all you don't abuse your power as a mod. The mods in the NC forum are terrible, super terrible, anyone who questions them, or posts opinion that is radical to their own gets their post deleted or banned in some cases as I found out. Almost any post I make in the NC forum that includes my opinion gets deleted, generally the post goes against the majorities opinion including the mod. Just today my post and every post that agreed with mine was deleted. Worst part was our posts were calling out blatant racism and they were still deleted.
Bummer. I imagine places like Lexington and Louisville have more opportunities though.
Definitely. Lexington is a great city all things considered.

What does that measure? I'm not familiar with the term "Human development".

Damn, I would never imagine that taking 6 hours.

Sounds like you could be getting the flu.

It did look extremely depressed though.
I've gone hiking at Natural Bridge State Park many time, the scenery is beautiful. Definitely not somewhere I'd want to live.

I worked with horses as a groom and Lexington is an amazing city, people call it the horse capital of the world and I believe it, and places like london Kentucky where i worked too are amazing. Bluegrass meadow country and tons of gorgeous equestrian events, alot of of magnolias, beech, maple, hickory , eastern white pine and oak and all the bluegrass. gorgeous region, where I worked all the rich dubai/arab owners kept their farms and breeding and tons of rich folks . horses is like sailing and boating in the south , crazy amount of money in this stuff .
Love the bourbon trail, where I grew up in DC there are bourbon and whiskey and cocktail bars , tons of Kentucky history on the menus with the barrels and aging. My mother was an equestrian and moved from england to virginia to ride professionally and was always very defensive about how horse country Virginia was inferior to Kentucky in the horsey world. lol

You lived here? Yep, every year UAE 747s come for horse sales. Tons of money.
Apparently Ocala, FL is another "horse capital of the world". But Lexington is pretty serious about proving it:

Actually I took a shower and I feel better now.
And I remember I think I stopped in Pikeville at a gas station, I felt rather uneasy there. And this is coming from someone who's lived in a Miami hood before. Lol.
Although the surrounding scenery was really nice. And it was a rainy, cloudy, foggy day while driving through as well, created a certain ambiance that a sunny day wouldn't.
