June 28, 201115 yr Only thing I got really is that the Ohio River is pretty disgusting and you can't really take advantage of fun water activities. No real complaints from me.
June 28, 201115 yr Were would I start, No major Highways like US 62 and 68, is really they only main roads here, no chance for any kind of Industry to come here, Who decided this was it years ago, or is it just this way? Yeah Tobacco was the major source of income but now that's pretty well gone, Why can't we have come sort of consideration of having a local government who knows a thing or two how to get this done, afterall it was most of the most "Promised" things candidates would "try" to get here. What say you in your community? Devilman makes no secret about being from Robertson County; 101 square miles and 2,400 residents (if memory serves, which is more and more of a crapshoot these days). Every so often I hear someone trot out the old "120 counties is way too many". Any merit to this? Does it deserve its own thread?
June 28, 201115 yr No complaints on where I live. 20 minutes to Lexington or Richmond. You have 1-64 and I-75 within minutes. Great community, school system and neighbors, I couldn't ask for any better.
June 29, 201115 yr While Maysville will never be confused with a metropolis; there are several things it has going for it; being the biggest little town within 50 miles in any direction and having Ohio River bridge access. Community college, vo/tech school, hospital, excellent little local museum/library facilities; lots of community organizations, youth and adult music and theater opportunities (for example, our daughter parlayed private voice lesons at the local Downing Academy into nice scholarship dollars), and what seems like more restaurants per capita than anyplace around. Four places to play golf in town and a couple more within 15 minutes; boat ramp (although you won't catch me in the Ohio River), a very nice YMCA. A six-days-a-week newspaper and public transportation (rare for a small town) and a nice recreation area on the west end of town with pool, lake, softball, tennis, etc. Like a lot of small river towns, Maysville seems to struggle keeping its downtown vibrant.

Like a lot of small river towns, Maysville seems to struggle keeping its downtown vibrant. And that's a shame. I recently walked around downtown Maysville and never realized how beautiful and historic is was.
June 29, 201115 yr Traffic would be my number one complaint. Lots of growth and road construction unable to keep up. I have lived in many places---Germany, Milwaukee, Chicago, Nashville, Indianapolis. Honestly--when we I learned we were moving to Kentucky, my first reaction was....are you kidding me? Kentucky? At first I was embarrased to say Kentucky, and would tell people we were moving to Ohio! Did not take long for us to realize that we landed in a beautiful, friendly, oasis that has it all. People used to ask us when we were moving back...but now they get it. We get frequent visitors willing to make the long drive because they also love it here!
June 29, 201115 yr The fact that marijuana is illegal. Other than that I could do with a lot less UL fans. I have no big complaints at all. I'm not tuned in enough on the Riverfields/East End Bridge issues to comment intelligently.
June 29, 201115 yr I live in the country, love the quietness and beauty of it but absolutely am tired of the 70 mile round trip for work. I had the house on the market, which of course didn't move, and part of me is sad to leave and the other very excited to live back in the city again.
June 29, 201115 yr The fact that marijuana is illegal. Other than that I could do with a lot less UL fans. That's funny, I was going to say that I'd like to run all the UK fans across the county line on a rail. :lol: PepRock, I think I'm going to agree with you that River Fields is the most annoying thing about living in Louisville right now. It's become increasingly apparent that moneyed interests, beginning with River Fields, have deliberately bogged down the Bridges Project, encumbering it with additional side projects and extra costs, ensuring that an East End bridge will never be built. Transit issues in general are very frustrating in Louisville: bike lanes come and go at random points on streets around town, TARC bus routes continue to face massive cuts and yet fares are still rising... at least we managed to kill the spaghetti junction project that would have bulldozed half of Butchertown.
June 29, 201115 yr Traffic and the preponderance of rude and inconsiderate drives who will stop at no lengths to raise my blood pressure.

What part of the state did you move to and how old were you when you moved here?

When you say the city, what city are you referring to?
