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.
@@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.
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!!
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.
@@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.
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.
Kentucky was the 15th state admitted to the union, in 1792. I can honestly say I have never really been to Frankfort, it really is a nice little city. I also didnt know our capitol building was so beautiful, wow. Thanks for showing everything, it was enjoyable 👍
You live in KY? And you have never been to Frankfort, the capital. I am not surprised. Too many Kentuckians don't leave their counties, particularly Jefferson and northern KY.
I was born and lived my first 30 years in Kentucky. I have been a lot of places in my life and found single spots more spectacular, but I have never found anywhere more consistently beautiful than Kentucky.🐝❤️🤗
@John Cena Exactly! I’ve found spots all over the country that are spectacular, but Kentucky isn’t beautiful in spots. Kentucky is beautiful everywhere! Tennessee is a close second.❤️🤗🐝
@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.❤️🤗🐝
@John Cena If you haven’t been there, go to Hemlock cliffs in Hoosier National park in Indiana. It’s a wonderful place down there between those two waterfalls.❤️🤗🐝
I just found your channel this morning when I saw a recommended video for Lexington, KY. I was born in KY and have lived elsewhere, but now Frankfort is home. I love this small city. It is quite, close to bigger cities, and quite safe. The cost of living is also relatively low for the area.
Hi There, wife and I are from the great state of TX, and looking for safe and nice places to retire. You mentioned "quite safe". Will you elaborate more? Would you feel safe strolling the town on a summer night? Would love to get your input.
Thank you for the tour. Frankfort has such a lovely setting. I've been to Central Kentucky once -- it's a pretty part of the state for sure. They keep the roads neat and clean. Mammoth Caves and the area around it are great.
Being a disabled person I'm not able to travel much. I really appreciate your channel. I feel like I'm actually a these destinations. This is truly blessed and thank you so much. May God bless you and your beautiful wife as you travel and I pray for his angels of mercy and protection surround you both. Looking forward to our next adventure. 😀
Thank you for the kind words. It is my goal for you to feel like you've actually visited these places, so you just complimented me the highest way you could. :)
Agreed, I'm in a mobility device it's difficult to travel. I stumbled across this video and he was going up to the Capitol in Frankfort, I thought "gosh I wish I could go there and actually tour the inside" HE WENT IN, so I got to see it!!!!
Great City,it has under 30,000 people,one of our smaller state capitols.I could live there!Kentucky has so many beautiful,charming historic downtowns.I'm originally from Clarksburg West Virginia,that has interesting early highrise architecture in their downtown along with Fairmont nearby Monongah where the worse mining disaster was where 366 miners perished,there's a monument there.
I remember my 5th grade class took a field trip to our capital Frankfort KY. I'd say my favorite site we visited was most definitely the grave of Daniel Boone. Like you said, it's an amazing view. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit.
Looks like a fantastic place to live, Especially impressive capital building, certainly one of if not THE best one yet that I’ve seen on your tour. Your absolutely correct when you said Kentucky has beautiful views. Nice to see some trees. Seen a lot of sand and scrub recently, I guess you’re slowly heading north ?
Fun fact. KY is the Northern most southern state; and, the southern most northern state. 10-8 hours to Pensacola FL, 8-10 hours to Buffalo NY. You can be in either Canada or Birmingham in the same amount of time.
I am from a small town in Kentucky. I've never been there though. I live in a county called Grayson Co. I have stumbled on to your videos for the first time. Thank you for showing off out state. We have a bad reputation usually and actually we're quite proud of our state and are quite friendly. You are a good person to let us experience this with you. Stay safe and enjoy your life once again thanks .
Kentucky native here, just found your channel, my husband and I love channels like this, most all our little towns looks like Frankfort. We live in Garrard county and love to take rides all around areas. Thank you for visiting our beautiful state.
We’ve lived two blocks from the capital building for 22yrs. Frankfort is a nice place to live & raise a family. Plus, it’s kinda cool that our polling place is in the Governors garage.
I love the way you highlight the beauty of the places that you visit. I worked in downtown Frankfort for a number of years as a state government worker and loved the beauty and the hopefulness of the place. Especially St. Clair Street and the Paul Sawyier Library. I worked two doors up from the singing bridge. Your video brings back so many good memories. Thank you for it.
I was born and raised in Indianapolis. My mother was born in Lancaster Kentucky in 1918. I feel fortunate to live so close to such a beautiful state like Kentucky, it maybe the best kept secret in whole country. Wonderful scenery and wonderful people. If you do make there, skip the chain restaurants and eat at the mom & pop restaurants in the small towns, you won't regret it.
Kentucky is impressive to me, the scenery so beautiful the rolling hills, towns are so clean. Happy u showed Boones grave, always wanted to see his grave. Thanks capital building they working on the dome outside
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip fwiw... Daniel & Rebecca Boone were originally buried near Marthasville, MO. Lots of issues/controversy @ the time their bones were moved to KY, as he had supposedly told the family he had no desire to ever return to KY. He was happy living in Defiance, MO. His stunning limestone former home is open for tours.
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.
Really nice video good job. I had never thought about visiting there but now I'm definitely putting that on my to do list 👍 Thank y'all so much for the tour.
Enjoyed your video of my hometown and appreciate your comments. Hopefully, you were able to stop at the museum downtown, a bakery or visit Cove Spring Park. Lots to enjoy in Frankfort.
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!
I swear those Cicadas sound like they are about to decend on you, they are so loud. Love your little walk through. The only time I think much about Frankfurt is when I have to get a copy of my birth certificate. haha. Nice Job.
Frankfort is our base camp, moved here from Chicago, started a small business that I retired from after 26 successful years. It’s a great place to raise a family. Very safe and great schools.
Thank you for making that video it was really nice to see someone else perspective of our town. I travel that road into downtown every morning as I restore the historic homes of downtown Frankfort. One thing that you didn't get to see about Frankfurt is that it has really awesome mountain bike trails a beautiful Whitewater kayaking Creek and some great hiking trails all in the surrounding area. The Elkhorn Creek beautiful kayaking destination best started at the Jim Beam distiller, where you will encounter class 3 rapids and beautiful cliffs. Capital view Park over by the Daniel Boone gravesite has some of the best mountain bike trails around I think it's about 15-20 miles of trails. Cove springs is just on the outskirts of the downtown area and has some beautiful hiking trails with waterfalls and at the top of the mountain there is an archery range that has a 3D archery course
I was born in Kentucky but moved to Colorado when I was 6 months old. Kentucky is very underrated, great state to live in. Yeah, it's poor in parts and the schools can be better but wages are descent and housing is still affordable. Plus it's conservative which doesn't hurt my feelings unlike Colorado or I mean California #2.
Enjoyed the tour of the Kentucky's Capital City. Was a big fan of Daniel Boone & the history of the Cherokee Indians. These older videos pop up on my feed once in awhile. Thanks for sharing Joe.
If you’re looking for a place with historic downtown and homes, you would love Richmond, Indiana. I just recently visited there and was impressed with this vibrant city.
I love Frankfort we live an hour away. Iove to walk around and look at all the old homes and imagine what they look like inside. I love old architecture
as someone who has lived in frankfort for a couple of years, downtown died after covid and has not been the same. downtown use to have tons of people walking down the street, hanging out at the coffee tree, eating at a local restaurant, or just sitting outside. but now it completely dead even on friday nights its rare to see 20 people out in the street, unless it was at a bar.
That's not at all entirely true. There are people downtown every day. Maybe not necessarily in huge numbers, but there are people downtown on a daily basis. There are plenty of people eating at the restaurants on Saint Claire Street....and a decent amount of people at the coffee shop around the corner. I have been doing a lot of work for the owner of the Brick Alley bar, and 8 see the people myself. Then the live concerts draw people in as well. How are you basing your conclusions??? From one night or multiple nights!!!??? Did you do an actual study??? Did you write a paper for a college course??? I just want to know how you came to your conclusion is all. Sounds like you are basing your experience off one slow night.
Prayers sent Thank you. lease listen ladies. Lust is not love. I 💕💕💕💕 Querétaro. Acapulco had too many earthquakes, and Merida is too hot and humid. 60 years of visiting and living in Acapulco. I love the safety, cool weather and it is so clean. Querétaro love you 💕
The little blue boat dock on the river you show on the singing bridge is auctually a restraunt on the river owned by a local. The entrance is behind the new library at the boat dock. Deffinantly worth checking out!!
You should visit Old Louisville sometime. That neighborhood has the largest collection of Victorian period homes in the USA I believe. Beautiful place all around but especially on St. James Ct. Main Street downtown has a whole lot of cast iron front buildings from the Victorian period as well. Louisville, like Frankfort dates back to the 1700's. Another beutiful old town a few miles to the Northeast is Madison, Indiana.
@@rodneybarnes4509 I used to date a woman that lived on S. 2nd St between Ormsby & Magnolia in the early 90's. Haven't been down since the late 90's. I really should visit it 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.
You can never be honestly accused of not showing us churches. All were very much worth seeing. At the outer edge of the sidewalk directly in front of the brick path to the gate opening out to the path leading to the front entrance of Liberty Hall is a large stone slab original to the house that was its "stepping stone," permitting ladies to alight carriages and avoid stepping into mud. All grand houses had them but, even in the cases where the houses have been preseved, most of those stones, being out on public ways, have been removed. Great to have seen that one. Following you to West Virginia.
Thank you for the lovely insight and review on Frankfort! I am a Louisville born and raised girl married to a New York city boy and have traveled the world extensively. There is no other place in the world I would rather live than in Kentucky. I am proud to be a Kentucky girl, home of fast horses and pretty women!
i thank you guys alot i follow you through every state an appreaite everything you do im from western ky a town call marion thanks keep up the good work
You should visit Owensboro. Upon arrival you should ask for directions to the Cadillac Motel. Once there you should roll up your windows, lock your doors, and keep your firearm at the ready.
I don't know if you go out to California but you should go and visit a small town called Trona. It's a tiny town in the southern California area of the Mojave desert.
"Brick Alley" is where you will find a lot of locals on Friday nights in the Summer and Frankfort hosts free Frankfort Friday when it's warm. They have a band on the old Capitol steps and usually a few vendors set up and merchants open their doors. It's nice.
I live in Frankfort and loved seeing your video! It gives you a new appreciation to see it from an outsider perspective. I hope you got to go on around the capital building to see the floral clock in the back! One note -- you said you always know when a car is crossing the Singing Bridge. That's where it got it's name! The harmonic sound that it makes when cars drive across. Frankfort has it's problems -- what place doesn't? But I love living here, not too big, not too small. As Goldilocks would say, it's just right.
This video is awesome man I have lived in Frankfurt my entire life and just took for granted the beauty of this town it took watching your video to remind me of that good job my friend
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.
Excellent video of Frankfurt! Nice quaint town with beautiful hills all around. Love the drone footage, great you decided to use the drone, too beautiful to not take advantage of👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you love the capitol in my homestate KY, hope you got to check out the Engine House cafe, it was the original town firestation. It has old articles and info on the walls, including the fire dept's dog. The bookshop cafe is also fun to visit, as their upstairs section are all old books and state record copies people can buy.
Sadly several statues have been removed from Lexingtons old courthouse and one from Frankfort capitol Jefferson Davis due to politics..thus are children will never learn..
@@terrib627 no that obviously isn’t what she is saying at all. Being able to see something like that up close and personal give an effect that makes what they’ve read on the “books” actually seem real. Why do you think we have museums and other types of learning centers? Do you think we should do away with museums and ALL statues like the one of Abe Lincoln that’s in the Capitol Rotunda where Davis used to reside? The Statue of Davis wasn’t only a Statue but was also a memorial dedicated to the man who spent the overwhelming majority of his life as a Public Servant and building our great country to what it is today. He was not only a brilliant Statesman but he was a very brave and tactical War Hero, that may mean nothing to you but it’s something that many of us Kentuckians are very proud of. Now you may not understand what he was doing leading the Confederacy and I get that, but one I’ll act doesn’t erase a lifetime of exceptional achievements.
Amazing video just love all the buildings and the scenery is just stunning. I’ll bet when the leaves turn it would be absolutely stunning. Fine looking town.
Our leaves do look beautiful in the fall. In fact, the leaves are already starting to change around the central Kentucky area. Love fall around here, just not looking forward to winter though.
@@jeremiahallyn4603 I hear ya winter here in Canada can be long and harsh to. I’ve been to Kentucky before in the summer and loved it. I will return in a year or two for sure.
Hi. I'm new to your channel. I saw the one about Cairo. So sad that those beautiful buildings are deteriorating. But they're going back to nature which is probably a good thing in the long run. I was born in Joliet, Illinois. Have you been there yet? If not I would like to see how it is nowadays. Thanks for the awesome videos! Very informative and interesting. A joy to watch.

Kentucky is impressive to me, the scenery so beautiful the rolling hills, towns are so clean. Happy u showed Boones grave, always wanted to see his grave. Thanks capital building they working on the dome outside
It is. So many people have told me Kentucky is crummy and run down, but everywhere I've been to in Kentucky is beautiful.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip fwiw... Daniel & Rebecca Boone were originally buried near Marthasville, MO. Lots of issues/controversy @ the time their bones were moved to KY, as he had supposedly told the family he had no desire to ever return to KY. He was happy living in Defiance, MO.
His stunning limestone former home is open for tours.
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.
Quite an impressive old town
I live in Frankfort and it is nice to see it from the eyes of someone who has never seen it before. The drone shots are great.
Thank you, Brenna!
What beautiful scenery in Frankfort. I would one day love to go see all this for myself, but if I don’t thanks for sharing this with us.
Just viewing your visit of this quaint city makes you calm down and relax. Thanks.
Found your channel by accident and I’m glad I did.
Thank you for being here, Laura!
Really nice video good job. I had never thought about visiting there but now I'm definitely putting that on my to do list 👍 Thank y'all so much for the tour.
Thank you for the kind words, Barry.
Enjoyed your video of my hometown and appreciate your comments. Hopefully, you were able to stop at the museum downtown, a bakery or visit Cove Spring Park. Lots to enjoy in Frankfort.
The Governor's Mansion in Frankfort KY is well worth seeing. A very beautiful classical beauty.
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
Nice city tour! Thank you. You do a great job with the camera work and commentary.
Thank you, Beth!
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!
I swear those Cicadas sound like they are about to decend on you, they are so loud. Love your little walk through. The only time I think much about Frankfurt is when I have to get a copy of my birth certificate. haha. Nice Job.
Frankfort is our base camp, moved here from Chicago, started a small business that I retired from after 26 successful years.
It’s a great place to raise a family. Very safe and great schools.
Awesome! My family moved to Hanson Kentucky from Chicago in 1992! 💖
Thank you for making that video it was really nice to see someone else perspective of our town. I travel that road into downtown every morning as I restore the historic homes of downtown Frankfort. One thing that you didn't get to see about Frankfurt is that it has really awesome mountain bike trails a beautiful Whitewater kayaking Creek and some great hiking trails all in the surrounding area. The Elkhorn Creek beautiful kayaking destination best started at the Jim Beam distiller, where you will encounter class 3 rapids and beautiful cliffs. Capital view Park over by the Daniel Boone gravesite has some of the best mountain bike trails around I think it's about 15-20 miles of trails. Cove springs is just on the outskirts of the downtown area and has some beautiful hiking trails with waterfalls and at the top of the mountain there is an archery range that has a 3D archery course
It's a beautiful little city. I was impressed.
You were in my hometown! Thanks for having nice things to say about it. Glad you enjoyed your visit. Safe travels!
Really love the work you're doing sir! More like this please! keep going, France!
I was born in Kentucky but moved to Colorado when I was 6 months old. Kentucky is very underrated, great state to live in. Yeah, it's poor in parts and the schools can be better but wages are descent and housing is still affordable. Plus it's conservative which doesn't hurt my feelings unlike Colorado or I mean California #2.
I work downtown Frankfort, and it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful it is everyday. ❤️
Love my ol Kentucky home! Glad you enjoyed your time in Kentucky come back and visit again💖
We will be. I'm a big fan of Kentucky. Will be doing many more videos there!
Enjoyed the tour of the Kentucky's Capital City. Was a big fan of Daniel Boone & the history of the Cherokee Indians. These older videos pop up on my feed once in awhile. Thanks for sharing Joe.
avatar approved.
Thanks for the sight seeing tour, I really enjoyed it 👍💯💖
Been to Frankfort many times. Love it! Also love the Kentucky Bourbon Tour.
The drone shots hit the spots. Very nice. Nic is on the case today with documented historical facts.😊
💛💛💛💛💛
I was born and raised in Frankfort Ky, in the North Peak Mill area. Still live here today. And it's definitely a sleepy town 😆
It's beautiful as well.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip no argument there 💛
My hometown. Haven't lived there for 26 years, but visit often. Love every bit of it!
I'm glad your video showed up on my feed! I've lived in Frankfort most of my life. It was interesting to see a visitor's perspective. Nice video!
Beautiful city and you done a great job videoing it. Thanks
If you’re looking for a place with historic downtown and homes, you would love Richmond, Indiana. I just recently visited there and was impressed with this vibrant city.
Living in Downtown Frankfort above The Kentucky Coffeetree back in the early 2000s were the best times for me!
I love Frankfort we live an hour away. Iove to walk around and look at all the old homes and imagine what they look like inside. I love old architecture
as someone who has lived in frankfort for a couple of years, downtown died after covid and has not been the same. downtown use to have tons of people walking down the street, hanging out at the coffee tree, eating at a local restaurant, or just sitting outside. but now it completely dead even on friday nights its rare to see 20 people out in the street, unless it was at a bar.
That's not at all entirely true. There are people downtown every day. Maybe not necessarily in huge numbers, but there are people downtown on a daily basis.
There are plenty of people eating at the restaurants on Saint Claire Street....and a decent amount of people at the coffee shop around the corner.
I have been doing a lot of work for the owner of the Brick Alley bar, and 8 see the people myself.
Then the live concerts draw people in as well.
How are you basing your conclusions??? From one night or multiple nights!!!???
Did you do an actual study??? Did you write a paper for a college course???
I just want to know how you came to your conclusion is all.
Sounds like you are basing your experience off one slow night.
Uh, throughout the summer they've had concerts every weekend...
I still live in Frankfort and it's very peaceful
It's picking back up. I have a business in downtown Frankfort and I see plenty of people down there all the time.
Prayers sent Thank you.
lease listen ladies. Lust is not love.
I 💕💕💕💕 Querétaro. Acapulco had too many earthquakes, and Merida is too hot and humid.
60 years of visiting and living in Acapulco. I love the safety, cool weather and it is so clean. Querétaro love you
💕
I lived in Frankfort for 12 years and the best day I had there was the day I moved to Lexington.
I’ve lived in Franklin County for 40 years now and I just don’t think I could ever call any other place “home”, certainly not Lexington
Lexington is hell, only surpassed by Louisville.
It's not where you live, it's how you live. I like Frankfort, but I need a change of atmosphere, and the big city isn't my cup of tea.
Wow! I had no knowledge of Frankfort. It’s truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing it!
It really is.
You definitely should’ve checked out the garden at Liberty Hall, it’s gorgeous and free to the public! ❤
The little blue boat dock on the river you show on the singing bridge is auctually a restraunt on the river owned by a local. The entrance is behind the new library at the boat dock. Deffinantly worth checking out!!
You should visit Old Louisville sometime. That neighborhood has the largest collection of Victorian period homes in the USA I believe. Beautiful place all around but especially on St. James Ct. Main Street downtown has a whole lot of cast iron front buildings from the Victorian period as well. Louisville, like Frankfort dates back to the 1700's. Another beutiful old town a few miles to the Northeast is Madison, Indiana.
Definitely agree! I lived in Old Louisville while in college/law school off St. James Court in the late 80s early 90s & it’s only gotten better.
@@rodneybarnes4509 I used to date a woman that lived on S. 2nd St between Ormsby & Magnolia in the early 90's. Haven't been down since the late 90's. I really should visit it again.
Awesome 😎👍 drone shot it is a beautiful city
Would love for you to share a list of the most prettiest towns you visited? Great video BTW.
It's nice that they let people graffiti their walls with plain chalk. That's nice.
The singer bridge is so eerie I love it!
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.
You can never be honestly accused of not showing us churches. All were very much worth seeing. At the outer edge of the sidewalk directly in front of the brick path to the gate opening out to the path leading to the front entrance of Liberty Hall is a large stone slab original to the house that was its "stepping stone," permitting ladies to alight carriages and avoid stepping into mud. All grand houses had them but, even in the cases where the houses have been preseved, most of those stones, being out on public ways, have been removed. Great to have seen that one. Following you to West Virginia.
Fascinating. Thank you for that bit of info, David.
Beautiful buildings , very genteel charming town . I really liked the bridge
I loved that bridge. :)
Should try the old capital building as well lol.
Thank you for the lovely insight and review on Frankfort! I am a Louisville born and raised girl married to a New York city boy and have traveled the world extensively. There is no other place in the world I would rather live than in Kentucky. I am proud to be a Kentucky girl, home of fast horses and pretty women!
It's an astonishingly beautiful state. I wasn't expecting it. :)
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip ❤
Shouldn't that be pretty hordes and fast women. Lol
Hordes?
I'm liking what I see as well 💖
The architecture of the state capital of Kentucky is beautiful!
i thank you guys alot i follow you through every state an appreaite everything you do im from western ky a town call marion thanks keep up the good work
You should visit Owensboro. Upon arrival you should ask for directions to the Cadillac Motel. Once there you should roll up your windows, lock your doors, and keep your firearm at the ready.
Another dope video. I love driving off the beaten path (with my CCW).
Thanks!
I don't know if you go out to California but you should go and visit a small town called Trona. It's a tiny town in the southern California area of the Mojave desert.
Interesting. I'll check it out!
"Brick Alley" is where you will find a lot of locals on Friday nights in the Summer and Frankfort hosts free Frankfort Friday when it's warm. They have a band on the old Capitol steps and usually a few vendors set up and merchants open their doors. It's nice.
I live in Frankfort and loved seeing your video! It gives you a new appreciation to see it from an outsider perspective. I hope you got to go on around the capital building to see the floral clock in the back! One note -- you said you always know when a car is crossing the Singing Bridge. That's where it got it's name! The harmonic sound that it makes when cars drive across. Frankfort has it's problems -- what place doesn't? But I love living here, not too big, not too small. As Goldilocks would say, it's just right.
Woow very interesting!!!
Thank you!!
This video is awesome man I have lived in Frankfurt my entire life and just took for granted the beauty of this town it took watching your video to remind me of that good job my friend
That's fantastic. :)
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.
Thank you for that, Karen. I vividly remember driving into Kentucky the first time and being surprised at how beautiful it is.
Frankfort even has a home built by Frank Lloyd Wright!
Always loved my time in Frankfort. A great little city.
Thank you for visiting our town, if you really wanted a view of the downtown area the top of Fort hill has by far the best.
KY is my home state. There are a lot of things to see in KY. You will find a lot of beauty around any of the lakes
Excellent video of Frankfurt! Nice quaint town with beautiful hills all around. Love the drone footage, great you decided to use the drone, too beautiful to not take advantage of👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!! :)
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip your welcome, great videos. How many states do you have left to visit?
Great work sir!!! (Especially the drone shots)
That IS my childhood bridge 💛. Interesting to see it from another's perspective and many years later ...cool😊
Loved that old bridge. The vibrant, rust colors against the green of the trees and plants - awesome.
What a beautiful city, makes me wish I could just pack up and move there❤️
very nice the view see the river I like your videos good job guys🍂🍁🌳
Glad you love the capitol in my homestate KY, hope you got to check out the Engine House cafe, it was the original town firestation. It has old articles and info on the walls, including the fire dept's dog. The bookshop cafe is also fun to visit, as their upstairs section are all old books and state record copies people can buy.
Sadly several statues have been removed from Lexingtons old courthouse and one from Frankfort capitol Jefferson Davis due to politics..thus are children will never learn..
It’s a damn shame too
So you're saying kids can't learn from books? LOL
@@terrib627 no that obviously isn’t what she is saying at all. Being able to see something like that up close and personal give an effect that makes what they’ve read on the “books” actually seem real. Why do you think we have museums and other types of learning centers? Do you think we should do away with museums and ALL statues like the one of Abe Lincoln that’s in the Capitol Rotunda where Davis used to reside? The Statue of Davis wasn’t only a Statue but was also a memorial dedicated to the man who spent the overwhelming majority of his life as a Public Servant and building our great country to what it is today. He was not only a brilliant Statesman but he was a very brave and tactical War Hero, that may mean nothing to you but it’s something that many of us Kentuckians are very proud of. Now you may not understand what he was doing leading the Confederacy and I get that, but one I’ll act doesn’t erase a lifetime of exceptional achievements.
Love the videos. Very well done.
Amazing video just love all the buildings and the scenery is just stunning. I’ll bet when the leaves turn it would be absolutely stunning. Fine looking town.
Our leaves do look beautiful in the fall. In fact, the leaves are already starting to change around the central Kentucky area. Love fall around here, just not looking forward to winter though.
@@jeremiahallyn4603 I hear ya winter here in Canada can be long and harsh to. I’ve been to Kentucky before in the summer and loved it. I will return in a year or two for sure.
It's a great little city, key.
Born and raised here...I love Frankfort!
Hi. I'm new to your channel. I saw the one about Cairo. So sad that those beautiful buildings are deteriorating. But they're going back to nature which is probably a good thing in the long run.
I was born in Joliet, Illinois. Have you been there yet? If not I would like to see how it is nowadays. Thanks for the awesome videos! Very informative and interesting. A joy to watch.
Thank you, Jonathan. :)
Wow they are really proud of their history all through the town
