Why does Kentucky get a bad rap. Sounds like a nice state.
I live in NE Ohio. That’s a no go. It’s blue, and getting bluer.
Southern Ohio is nice, rural, seasons, but you’re still under the thumb of the jerks in Columbus.
My son-in-law was stationed at Ft. Campbell. The base is in TN, just over the border from KY. I think both KY and TN are fine places, I stayed in Clarksville a few times, it was nice. The beauty of that is, no state income tax in TN, and very low sales tax in KY. Living near, but not too near, an Army base generally leads to a conservative populace. Not to mention, Clarksville is close to Nashville, and not terribly far from the Smokey Mountains.
The more I type, the more I’m ready to go!

It’s the toothless, inbred hicks narrative pushed by the coastal elites. I suppose getting away from these elites is why you’re leaving the northeast.
Kentucky gets a bad rap because they treat all vices equally. If you want to smoke and drink bourbon you got a place in Kentucky and if you want to go to church 3 times a week you got to home in Kentucky
Kentucky is a great place to live. Some winters, like this one, are real bummers but the other seasons are almost always nice. Some uninformed or misinformed think we’re all a bunch of rednecks. Granted, some are but most ain’t.
We have big pension and entitlement problems.
