[@bobbiobanion7706]

As a Kentuckian thank you for showing and appreciating parts of our state. We often get a bad reputation but most haven't even been here. I hope you found some enjoyable activities, maybe like the bourbon trail if that's something you enjoy. Thank you again for the love letters of appreciation in digital form, I wish you continued safe travels and many more things for which you will marvel.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you, Bobbi!

[@myrzamarilyslassus956]

Hi. I was just in Kentucky. Loved the places I visited. What is the bad reputation you're talking about? Real question.

[@bobbiobanion7706]

@@myrzamarilyslassus956 that's wonderful to hear, I'm glad you enjoyed it. What I mean is people often consider Kentucky in a negative light, like we are stuck decades behind or something. Like how people refer to Alabama as incestuous, I've heard that a lot about here, like we are all the backward hillbillies in the hills have eyes. People think we have nothing new, fun or innovative here. I was watching a news clip, it was something awful but I saw a few comments say who cares it Kentucky. Most think it's Louisville and Lexington and the rest of us are worthless, toothless hillbillies or druggies. In media, I'll never forget the ending of clueless where they show the teachers getting married and cher says eww this California, not Kentucky.....girl you the one dating your former stepbrother and your dad still treats him like part of the family. When AOL chatrooms got big when I was highschool, I talked to so many people who legit asked me if we had shoe stores. I hardly ever hear something nice about Kentucky that isn't Louisville or Lexington and I just wanted to express that.

I was born and raised in the Big O myself. Been in Texas the past 30+ years.

Frankfort is a town where the city government as well as the people who live there take great pride in their city. It’s quite refreshing when you can see pride of ownership. The Midwest doesn’t usually get its fair share of good publicity so I’m thankful that you do just that. When a place is well maintained you show it and if it’s not you don’t pull any punches and call it as it is! As you can see, just because the numbers you shared were below the National average doesn’t mean the town has to look crappy and run down!!

[@jacquelinesimpson6672]

This is such a lovely city. Really well cared for! Hope to pass through someday.

Midwest? Kentucky is below the Mason Dixon line.

[@peterbilt-bo1vy]

Yeah I was just going to say I don't understand why people say it is in the Midwest when we are in the south and we border Virginia which is a southern coastal state. I really don't like it when people say we're in the Midwest and I wish they would stop.

[@jasonmilly3320]

@@peterbilt-bo1vy - There's no right or wrong answer. I'm not from here (Florida panhandle, also lived in Missouri a little bit)... and this is the midwest to me. At least from Louisville (where I live now) up to Cincinnati, even including Frankfort. I don't think the whole state is midwest, but parts are. I don't think Louisville is southern geographically or culturally. Louisville is even closer to Canada (355 miles) than Memphis (384 miles)... just hard for me to call this the south when I've lived in the actual south before.

Great video man! I'm proud to say I was born and raised in Frankfort KY! thanks for show casing our beautiful little town!

It's a beautiful little city. You could probably tell as I drove through downtown for the first time. I was genuinely charmed, and it just got better.

[@grandepdre]

Nice video. A couple of things that might have been of interest while there-- Elizabeth Hulett (Miss Elizabeth of WWE Fame) was also buried in Frankfort Cemetery, and Rebecca Ruth candies has a little tour of their factory not far from where you shot your drone footage.

[@ethelmcclintock]

I will admit ky is a beautiful state from a-z, it does have some people deep in the woods that are odd but mostly kind southern hospitality is our moto in KY. Your doing a wonderful job getting the photography on video. Now the locals don't want their little piece of paradise exposed to the outsiders but I certainly enjoy watching your videos and I also don't plan to move so I simply watch in delight of the beauty.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

@John Cena Lol! I live in Tennessee now and have for many years. But sometimes I have to go home and breathe Kentucky air. Kentucky has a feeling unlike anywhere else I’ve ever been. It’s mysterious/mystical in a way. I didn’t know that as a child, because I had never felt anything else. It wasn’t until I moved away that I understood how different Kentucky is. But I can only go so long without a dose of it.❤️🤗🐝

[@joebarnes3178]

You showed some cool things, but missed the best, I live downtown and have for a long time, covid and the construction on 2nd street slowed it down but it's booming again now, I love it here, you missed fort hill , I take pictures there weekly and have caught many unexplained things and what appears to be civil war era soldiers in the woods, that you can see through, liberty hall is haunted as well, the grey lady shows herself regularly coming down the stairs inside, I seen her myself when I was about 12 , macho man randy savage s wife, mrs Elizabeth is buried at Frankfort cemetery also, they don't tell anyone because they don't want people to leave anything on her grave, crazy right !!, I have spent hundreds of hours at the cemetery taking pictures and have some cool and unexplainable things in a bunch of the photos , mostly in the civil war burial area , the old insane asylum is right across the street from the cemetery and it's cool as well, and has its own cemetery, if you ever decide to come back to Frankfort msg me and I can give you a list of things to check out and the details about them as well, I just live a couple of buildings down from the singing bridge and I love hearing it when cars go over it, that sound is why it's called that, you literally walked right passed so much cool stuff but was unaware of it, public hangings were held right at the end of the singing bridge, decades ago of course. You walked right by my door about 3 times. Lol. I enjoy the video it was like goin outside and goin for a walk and not having to be out in the heat. Lol. Which I do every evening. You guys take care and be careful, theres crazy people out there

As a Kentuckian, thank you for such a nice video of our capital. Frankfort is a lovely town. There are many beautiful small towns scattered around the state. Kentucky is a bit of a well kept secret. People that have never been here might think it is a backwoods hick state, but it isn't quite fully southern and it isn't quite northern. It has some of the best qualities of the north and the south. People are friendly and the pace is a bit slower, and that's the way we like it. Hope you come back and visit again!

Great coverage of Frankfort. Love your commentaries and clear appreciation of architecture in all its varied forms. I have very strong familial roots in the state by birth. Squire Boone, Daniel's brother, is my Grand Uncle. I caught a lot of harassment for a while when my classmates found out my middle name is Boone, a Family thing for the firstborn son through the generations. My family is rooted in Louisville (great job covering it) but still owns part of Squire's farm in Southern Indiana. It may be a fun thing to dig into but there is a back-and-forth between Kentucky and Missouri over Daniel Boone's true grave. Legend has it that his remains are still in Missouri and a "fake" body was sent to Kentucky. Probably not true but then...Keep up the wonderful Vlogs, be safe, and enjoy the Journeys.

I have to say, Kentucky has never been on my radar of places to visit. But after seeing several of your videos, I am enticed and intrigued to visit. I am most impressed with the number of well preserved historical buildings in the area and how clean and well kept the properties are. I guess there were no fire, floods or hurricanes or natural disasters to speed the process of decay ? Or maybe the residents took pride in preserving the past. Either way, the city is beautiful, and I love the architecture. I am accustomed to the the Greek revival ,neo classic, antebellum and other southern architectural buildings. The brick and stone has held up quite nice.

You need two or three days for Frankfort to see everything the best the good and the bad. I live in Kentucky it’s one of my favorite places to visit on my motorcycle. An area that you seem to have missed in Kentucky is the Northern Kentucky region. It is a totally different area of Kentucky. Again the best the good and bad areas are all there. Good luck in your future travels.

Another dope video. I love driving off the beaten path (with my CCW).
