    Any city the size of Lexington has no rail transport. Lexington’s street system is built on a wheel spoke. If you learn the side streets, fairly easy to get around.

    I’ve lived in Lexington for 52 years, we haven’t had a major upgrade to our roadways since Man-O-War, 40 years ago, yes, the traffic is indeed terrible! Lexington was rated #1 for traffic congestion (for its size) in the country recently!

I'm here to say, this has the worst public transportation!!! Poorly configured routes and no sense of time. To me, this city is too big and has some poorly designed roads. Take care.

    I think being a college town is a positive thing. It means there are a lot more cultural events, sporting events, and other activities than one would otherwise expect for a city the size of Lexington. We have a huge university in downtown Indianapolis (IUPUI, soon to separate into IU Indianapolis and Purdue Indianapolis) with about 30,000 students, but it's mostly a commuter school without as much influence on the city as it should have. It's a satellite and not the main campus for either school, and it shows.

  • @wayawolf1967
    @wayawolf1967 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There is such a thing as too much diversity. When you throw a bunch of different people into one area there is always conflict. They can all "act" like they get along but being fake all the time would get old very fast. I live 25 minutes from Lexington out in the country on 12 acres and I have about 8 neighbors within a 1/2 mile radius. I avoid Lexington and Louisville except when passing through to go somewhere else. Out here we wave at each other on the road except for the ones commuting to Lex or Lou that were not raised right and dont see other drivers as human beings worth acknowledging. City folks seem a bit more dog eat dog and ready to rage. They will even fight over a parking place but I digress......

    My wife will be done w/her PhD program at FSU in the near future and the University of Kentucky is at the top of her list for possible employment (Even though she is an undergrad alum from University of Tennessee!). Lexington sounds great to us! We're not too concerned w/Lexington being a college town since Tallahassee also has this in common. In fact, both cities have some similarities w/challenges and population size. Hopefully we will become residents of Lexington one day and appreciate your videos.

    My husband and I currently live in a 1 bedroom apt in Frankfort near the hospital which is good as my husband can walk to work at the hospital-only 5minutes away. We are considering moving to Lexington in the summertime. We would be looking for a 1 bedroom apt near the hospitals there. I am going to drive over to Lexington one Sunday to get a look at the area. Better on early Sunday morning with no traffic about. We moved down to Kentucky in 2021 from Albany, NY and so are still new. I would appreciate some apartment ideas that are near the hospitals. Thank you.

    I'm just back from visiting Lexington. Richmond Road (near to downtown) and the streets coming off Richmond boast the most beautiful homes in the area hands down. Checking Zillow, they seem to range in price from around $850k to a couple million. They are comparable in appearance and quality to some of the vintage homes still standing in Beverly Hills. Stunning, pristine vintage homes. They have to be seen. As for hotel staying: I was going to stay in one of the downtown hotel properties, but after reading some reviews online, I was suspicious that nighttime sleep would be difficult. In fact, I was glad I stayed in the Hamburg area, though Hamburg is typical suburbia with every national food chain represented. Why? I found the reviews of hotels on Main Street downtown to be accurate. The street noise is insane and there really is unimpeded late night drag racing going on there. I'm surprised Lexington doesn't try to control that. It's a shame because the two newish downtown Marriott properties are beautiful and there will be some visitors who stay away from those downtown hotels because of the noise, which is, again, a shame. Most definitely, there were people shouting and screaming around the downtown bars. The UK campus, I would say, was impressive. Though not a frat guy myself, I have to say UK has some of the most beautiful frat houses I've seen around the country. When I was there, it was near 0 degrees, painfully cold, so I didn't get to do some of the outdoor things I might have otherwise done. The horse statues all around town are definitely a cool signature of the town. Your videos certainly helped me navigate the town. Thank you for that. I wish there was a regal historic hotel set in a nice neighborhood, but it seemed the couple of upmarket historic hotels were in the hard parts of downtown Lexington. I did think the lights going up the stairs at Rupp Arena late a night was very pretty and not to be missed. I'm surprised the Lexington local government has not done more for a city of its size (and the presence of UK) to offer incentives to airlines to bring in non-stop flights to hubs such as Newark Airport.
