I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. I have lived elsewhere twice, but keep coming back. I'm a video editor and freelance writer who enjoys watching people wearing University of Louisville uniforms excel at sports, scaling the faces of large rocks, and hanging out with my border collie/laborador/cattle dog mutt thingy that I have.
We have a lot of great towns in Kentucky, but often times Louisville and Lexington get most of the attention. Smaller towns like Newport, Covington, Owensboro, Bowling Green, and Paducah are pretty widely well-liked, but the pattern is that the eastern part of the state is often forgotten. However, eastern Kentucky has a lot more to offer than just mountains and old coal mining towns. Located right across the Ohio River from West Virginia is a Kentucky town that just might be the most overlooked in the whole state.
