Hi dig!
Sorry to be late with my response but have been busy!
Kentucky is also across the river from Illinois where we live. When you drive across that bridge, you enter the south and there is no doublt about it. Marked differences in thinking and in the socialogy of the whole place. It is just an entirely different way of life. Kentucky is pretty isolated and very backward in so many ways. It is full of rednecks and they are proud of that heritage. Tennessee is far more advanced than Kentucky as Kentucky is part of a patch that runs from eastern Arkansas on through Kentucky, through West Virginia and on into the eastern part of Virginia. Eastern Kentucky and parts of Eastern Tennessee are among the most isolated and backward parts of this entire nation. Relatives still intermarry there and they still run stills that produce moonshine. The world has passed them by in so many ways. It's like time has stood still! When you cross the Ohio into Louisville, Kentucky, you have a modern city with a racetrack for the Kentucky Derby that serves mint julips as if it were over a hundred years ago!
Regards,
Joe
