Oh, Kentucky


Meanwhile, fewest Greater Bullitt County Youth Football League teams in a decade, per The Pioneer News.

When I was at WKU in the late 1980s, there was a student a little older than me who, the story went, had paid for his college by ordering a sun-tanning bed out of a magazine, installing it in his parents' garage and opening the first service of its kind in his home Kentucky county. Then, in the early 1990s, when I was traveling around the state so much, I noticed how it seemed that even the littlest Kentucky town had a place where you could get a sun tan, a place where you could rent a movie and a place where you could get a pizza--and that sometimes you it was one place where you got all of those things ... a one-stop date shop. Then, in 1999, the Kueber brothers launched the Sun Tan City chain out of a video-rental store in Etown. And now, reports The News-Enterprise, that family has given what is "believed to be the largest single private donation to a public school district in state history" to fuel entrepreneurism in Meade County.

"If the U.S. inland waterways system has a hub, Paducah, Ky. is it."

There may or may not be Kentucky Minute reporting in the HP from the Hopkins County AARP Annual Banquet on Monday.

  1. I am really looking forward to going to training camp with the 1966 Miami Dolphins in virtual reality some day. One of the things I'm looking forward to about it is going back to the dorms after practice and turning on TV.
