Yea; I'm beginning to understand your statement unlike I ever could prior to moving to Newburgh, Indiana...right on the Ohio River & a stone's throw from Henderson, KY.
What part of KY you living in, 'cat?
I only ask because politics aside, a prettier place than KY would be very difficult to find.
We are often considered a suburb of Ohio, since mostly all of our local news coverage comes from the media across the river.
In the future my family and I are considering moving closer to the "heartland" of good ol' KY.
