re: Is Kentucky southern?

Some parts, yes. Others no.

Northern Kentucky looks like Ohio, so many people make the mistake that the people must be the same. Nope. Kentucky people all the way through. But North of Louisville, I’d classify them more as Appalachian than Southern. Not always the same thing, though closely related. People in Newport and Covington in NoKy are culturally closer to West Virginia than Alabama or Tennessee. But they’re still very different than the Ohioans of Cincinnati who are literally just a glance across the river.
