July 19, 200818 yr Rocket Both have plusses and minuses. I currently live between the two. IMO Louisville is a city - Lexington is a town. If you're a city person you'll get bored in Lexington pretty quick. If you're not a city person, Louisville will intimidate you. I hear a lot of people complain about the traffic in Lexington. I don't know what everybody's basis of comparison is, but I don't concider the traffic to be bad. Once you know your way around it's no big deal. I lived in Cleveland and Chicago, this is nothing. I can say that I have never felt unsafe in Lexington at anytime. There were a couple of times in Louisville that I didn't feel very comfortable. Louisville has more night life and concerts and theatre and better restaurants. Lexington is is mostly chain restaurants. It's just my opinion but I find Lexington to be peaceful and fairly slow paced compared to Louisville, I'm a little older than you, but I like the pace. So for me I would choose to live in Lexington. But I still visit Louisville quite often.
July 19, 200818 yr I believe the thread is about Lexington, not Louisville. IMO, Lexington vs/ Paducah is a no brainer. I think Lexington would be a GREAT city to live in, especially for a 27 year old bachelor. There is plenty to do, and being a college town, you'll find nice looking ladies are everywhere. Lexington is a great town if you know the sports to hit. I must say that I am really shocked at those who say there's not much to do in Lexington.
July 19, 200818 yr I must say that I am really shocked at those who say there's not much to do in Lexington. I'd say that's really a matter of what you're used to. Coming from most places in KY, yes I would say there are plenty of things to do but going from Louisville to Lexington it has a very small town feel.
July 19, 200818 yr but going from Louisville to Lexington it has a very small town feel. However, Rocket is coming from Paducah, NOT Louisville; so that is irrelevant.
July 19, 200818 yr However, Rocket is coming from Paducah, NOT Louisville; so that is irrelevant. For Rocket yes, but it was relevant to the last statement that Boucher made.
July 20, 200818 yr I'd say that's really a matter of what you're used to. Coming from most places in KY, yes I would say there are plenty of things to do but going from Louisville to Lexington it has a very small town feel. I'm from Cincinnati, and stand by my statement. I really don't understand where Louisville comes into this discussion. He is asking about Lexington vs/ Paducah, which, imo, is a no brainer. I don't disagree that Lexington has a small town feel, but have you ever been to Paducah?
July 20, 200818 yr Author I lived there for about eight years. It has really grown up and out since I was there, but really liked living there. If you can stay sober and not date every psycho in the city, you should like living there. :lol:
July 20, 200818 yr I guess Lexington would be okay to live in but it doesn't even come close to what Louisville has to offer. Remember, Louisville is the #1 city.
July 20, 200818 yr If you can stay sober and not date every psycho in the city, you should like living there. Count Rocket out.
July 20, 200818 yr If you can stay sober and not date every psycho in the city, you should like living there. That's what my dad told me about Pikeville. (Apparently, I didn't listen.)
July 20, 200818 yr If you can stay sober and not date every psycho in the city, you should like living there. Wouldn't that go for anywhere?
