I was born in El Paso Texas but was raised on the west side of Cincinnati. My wife’s kin are all from Eastern Kentucky.
We’d move to TN if it were not for the family.
Brown County isn’t so bad...
Adams is better though!
Honestly, we came to the same conclusion about Adams v Brown county.
If you are familiar with the White Oak Valley (White Oak Valley Road) you know why we are happy where we are here.
Try SE Ohio. Just below my county (which is very rural, only 40,000 in the entire county), there’s Noble county which we call Nobletucky (with a population of only 14,000). Land is very inexpensive, still.
