Kentucky Bucket List

[Zoot Soup]

Anyone see this list in the Herald Leader? 50 places to see in Kentucky before you die. What ammendments/additions would you make to it? My girlfriend and I have decided we are going to try to hit them all this summer. I'm dorkily excited.

Thoroughly disappointed that Carter Caves was not on that list. Does the author never leave Central Kentucky?

Apparently, there is literally nothing worth seeing in NKY. :idunno:

What would you suggest?

What would you suggest?

 

For those who are architecture nerds like me or simply have a fondness for all things old and reverent (also me), the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington is, to my mind, the most beautifully built church in Kentucky. Definitely worth a look. To think that construction on it was stopped in 1915 and it's still technically unfinished only makes me wonder how spectacular it would be if they'd completed it. The exterior is modeled on Notre Dame, the interior on the Royal Cathedral of St. Denis in France and it has two of the three largest rose windows anywhere in the world. Absolutely spectacular.

The Anchor Grill?

 

(They do have one of the only remaining operational jukebox bands in the United States...)

I thought NKY was IN Cincy...

Visit Patti's 1880's Settlement in the Land Between the Lakes area. Home of the two inch thick pork chop!

It was extremely Central KY biased IMO.

Not saying that I disagree with you, but it was an article in a Lexington news outlet. Being from Northern Kentucky, I don't know that I could tell you that much about the other parts of the state.
