Oh, Kentucky

Oh, how I love this road:



And, oh, how I love this terrain:

Jenny Smith in Madisonville's Messenger delivers a thought-provoking and heart-wrenching feature on a 94-year-old local woman from Brooklyn whose family was poor enough in the Depression that her father came to her when she was 7 and asked her to give up a bracelet her godmother had given her, to be sold for money to buy food for the family. Man, that's rough.


Sam Neace with chilling news in The Hazard Herald: No. 1 on the Centers for Disease Control’s list of U.S. counties most vulnerable to soon developing an HIV and Hepatitis C epidemic is Kentucky’s Wolfe County. No. 3 is Breathitt County. No. 4 is Perry, and No. 5 is Clay. “Out of the top 220 counties on the CDC’s list, 54 of them are located in Kentucky,” he reports.


Who lobbied Real Legislature hardest this past session?




A member of the Brass Lantern dynasty took top honors in the Kentucky Monthly recipes contest, or his "
Bison with Bourbon Bacon Butter and Pickled Onions."


"MovingKentuckyForward.com" is for sale.

You going to the prom?
