no thanks. I'm sure it's lovely, but ...I think I have two lips to plant some where.
Went to Lexington last summer with college buddies. Keeneland was sick, as were the bars in Lexington. And I've been to the Derby in Louisville a few times, enough said.
Kansas is next level. The other two aren't close to that bad.
It's pretty nuts when you experience it. I always leave Kentucky hungover. I can't wait until I can retire back home. If not for my wife's amazing job in Memphis, we'd be back there yesterday.

Great state, and the people were even better. I couldn't believe the hospitality at Keeneland and the like. Of course, I have to say some of the best folks were Louisville fans at the game last year, and the Heels curb stomped em, but they were all so nice.
The guys story has been deleted. but...

Clearly the fans that attend Kentucky games are not represented by the fans on RR.
Is Tennessee a flyover state? Because Nashville is the shit.
Arkansas? The Ozarks are one hell of a party.
Indianapolis? Broadripple is a great time.
I could go on and on...

I assume this means you met your first Texan recently.
Kentucky is 10 times trashier than NJ will ever be, and I’m from Ky.I love my state. Rich, some of the best education in the nation, some of the best health care in the nation, almost the entire Revolutionary War was fought here, I drove into the middle of midtown Manhattan on Monday night in 35 minutes for a big ass dinner, and some of the most beautiful small towns around... nothing better than wandering main street on a beautiful summer day, stopping in one of a hundred restaurants for brunch, sitting in the village green, going to the little local theatre... Sure, there are shithole parts of NJ, and there are some trashy people, but there are shithole parts of, and trashy people in, Kentucky and Mississippi and North Carolina and Montana and all sorts of other places. And yeah, the taxes are a bit high, but we get a lot for them, and SOMEONE has to take care of those "taker" states in the South.
Most people who trash Jersey haven't been here, or have only been on the nasty piece of highway around Newark International/the ports. It's really quite nice
No thanks. I'm sure those are all great for people already living in fly over states.
I did almost buy a property in Broad Ripple last year, though. Decent area. Vacationing there? No thank you.
Haha. You try to come off pompous or does it just come naturally? I’ll be in the Dominican partying for NYE, and heading to Colorado and Florida this summer. Sure, there are better options, but that doesn’t mean “flyover” states don’t have plenty to offer. And I’m definitely not gonna pretend I’m too good for them. Eyeroll
My wife always laughs at me for bringing up the idea. But I would love to go fishing in Montana.
Or hiking in Utah.
But it would take a lot to get her to agree to a vacation anywhere away from the Caribbean. Which is fine I guess.
She always talks about going to Europe because she lived there for a while. But there is a lot of America that I would like to see first.

Canyoneering in Zion National Park in Utah is awesome. Finally got my wife to give it a try last summer and she loved it.
I have always wanted to travel out west and do some hiking/exploring. I am a huge mountains fan, and just a nature nerd in general. One day..
We are planning a trip to the SW with the fam... it looks absolutely beautiful.
Have you been to NJ? and Louisville doesn't speak for Kentucky.
I have indeed, Atlantic City is super cool, the shore and boardwalk are always nice in summer, I’ve been to Cape May and Ocean grove as well. I have a friend from grad school that lives in Hoboken, I’ve visited him several times and always enjoy myself, just really neat landscape, plus as Dude said, NYC is super close.Have you been to NJ? and Louisville doesn't speak for Kentucky.
Louisville doesn’t speak for Ky, but tbh Kentucky just isn’t that interesting aside from Red River Gorge, Cumberland Falls, Keeneland-Churchill downs and of course our college sports. I love Louisville don’t get me wrong, have had some decent experiences in Lex, but overall the rest of the state ain’t all that. Kinda sucks.
Areas of NJ outside of Philly near Lambertsville and Princeton were pretty impressive. That’s the only part of Jersey I’ve been to but that’s a different world.
Also a much more expensive and crowded world. Definitely some downsides to that.
In the past year, I’ve been to probably 10 US cities, including Chicago, New York and Miami. City I had most fun in was ****ing Pittsburgh, PA. Great town. Let’s give some love to Pittsburgh.
