:lol2: Not in a million years my man!

 

I wouldn't mind Lexington being considered nky, Louisville can kick rocks though.

I tried to get you down here years ago...

 

I know, maybe one day.

TIL Lexington is in Northern Kentucky.

 

I mean, it is in the north half of Kentucky... :lol2:

Yep, I found that comment rather weird myself.

 

And as far as western/eastern/northern KY is concerned, it really depends on who you talk to. I wonder if the author of the above article realizes that there are many who live in Paducah, Mayfield, Carlisle/Fulton/Hickman counties and other areas "out west" who don't consider BG western KY, and that there are many east of Lexington that think the state pretty much ends around Elizabethtown. And not a single person who lives in Lex would consider themselves "northern KY". :lol2:

Well, Lexington and Louisville ARE north of Bowling Green so.... :idunno:

Is Jefferson County a donor or donee county as far money going to and coming from state government goes?

The tax money coming into Louisville floats the boat for a lot of our state's small counties.

Those of us down here in the "Real" south consider all y'all elitist Yankees. :D

We're not elitist, we're just better than you guys.

Well, at least the CJ piece was better written.

 

Hopefully everyone just walks away now, knowing that not only is this discussion not worth it, it's not making either side look particularly great.

Courier-Journal columnist Joe Gerth could have just taken that ludicrous column for what it was and just left it alone. He didn't.

 

'Elitist' Louisville and Lexington prop up small-town Kentucky | Joseph Gerth

 

 

Hummm...well...if one didn't think of Louisville as "elitist" even after reading the original BG column, one might think of them that way now after reading the Gerth article. He didn't do himself or Louisville any favors with several of his comments.

Most Louisvillians I know accept and embrace the fact that the rest of the state looks down on Louisville in any and every way they can. We know how great our town is and really don't lose any sleep over what people who never spend any time here think.

Nothing really says that better than just ignoring it when someone else throws a stone at them. I really am surprised they bothered to respond at all. I think it would have been a better approach.
