I've been to Hazard, Kentucky a few times when I was in school at Jackson, KY. Jackson is in "Bloody" Breathitt County, which was dry back then and Hazard is in Perry County which allows the sale of alcoholic beverages. The trip to Hazard was very popular for that reason, but Hazard didn't impress me at all. As a matter of fact, the whole of Eastern Kentucky was very depressed and depressing almost fifty years ago. The coal dust all over the "hills and hollers" gave an atmosphere of despair and decadence. It seems to have changed for the worst.
