If your reference point is Louisville or Frankfort, Paducah is southwest. Even though it is on the northern border, the state's odd slope makes it justifiable to call the whole region southwest Kentucky.
Paducah is Northwestern not southwestern. Who is the editor on this?
Who needs to know all that thar geography anyway?
Paducah is just plain “Western KY”.
Local report says the hospital kept the victim alive for possible organ donation, but she was shot up too badly. Perp shot her several times.
It’s over the state line above Nashville, TN. Definitely not north KY.
