It's a shame Kentucky still hasn't figured out how to capitalize on the natural beauty of the eastern part of the state like Tennessee has.
I used to love going to Daniel Boone State Park (not sure what it's called now). The beauty is there and you don't have to deal with the crowds.
As for capitalizing.... True story. Middlesboro was a planned city and was meant to be great. It was developed along with the Harrogate (in TN) to be a go to town and vacation spot for the ultra wealthy. Harrogate hosted a Four Seasons (Mark Twain even stayed there as did Cornelius Vanderbilt) but development went to pot because of floods and fires in Middlesboro (and you know how prone to flooding Middlesboro still is - but that's because it's literally built on top of meteor crater which is why it's so flat despite being surrounded by mountains).
At any rate, the Four Seasons and Middlesboro project couldn't recover and the property for the Four Seasons was sold to LMU.
But once upon a time, that entire area was set to be a playground for the rich because it's so damned beautiful.

I would venture to guess there is no one on this board, no one who has been nailed down to where they live. For Pete’s sake people, if you think so little of where you live as you act like you do, pick your worthless arse up and move somewhere that you can be happy. Life is too short to grumble about where you live.
