    And like all republican towns who preach family values, we allow our teachers to get lap dancers from minors.

    So many wonderful memories of what our downtown used to be! And I'm thrilled to see the efforts toward revitalization. We love our community and we hope that HGTV can feel that love and help us bring Hazard back to its former glory. It's time! Everyone say a prayer.

    This is a great video...I've been to Hazard when i was a kid back in 1981. I remember telling my friends when i got home that they have a top 40 radio station...I just told them that because they told me before I went there that all you hear is bluegrass music and nothing else.

    The wife and I ventured into Hazard last summer. We took a weekend trip to Kingdom Come State Park, Harlan, and Hazard. We really enjoyed it. I kept making Dukes of Hazzard and Justified quips, and everyone we spoke to in both towns understood the jokes.
    Hazard isn’t what people think it is. Like other small towns in SE Kentucky, she’s had her share of boom and bust. It’s amazing to see the people of Perry County and the City of Hazard coming together to build their town back up.

    Back in 1983 I was in the Job Corps in Prestonsburg, Ky. There were a few guys there at the Job Corps that were from Hazard. One weekend we went to a "Black Gold" festival there in Hazard. Funny thing at the time there were a few businesses there with the name of Boss Hogg.
    I had always wondered what ever happened to those guys I made friends with. I left in 1984. One of them was a short guy that had long blond hair by the name of Roy ( do not remember last name). Then there were these 2 brothers with the last name of Gibson, I simply called them the Gibson brothers ( I do not remember their first names)
    Hazard was a cool place to visit.

    One of my neighbors, Linda Lou, in Norfolk Virginia is a Hazard native and always speaks very fondly of her hometown. She and her husband will move back when they retire because only their jobs are keeping them here and he has no desire to move back to Scranton.

    I vote Hazard cos I was born and raised in Hazard. My family lived up on Second Creek. My family moved to Michigan when I was 12 years old. I'm 76 years old in a couple of days, and I live in Florida. I do watch all Hazard video I see on the tube. The Goose Has a great back ground. It has been many things.

    I have been to Hazard twice in my life. In early 2000, my classmates and I went to the Challenger Learning Center, and a month or two later, we went inside the WYMT studios, and that was where I met late WYMT news anchor Tony Turner, who believe it or not, was from Harlan County, where I live. Anyway, Hazard is one of the best small towns anyone can call home.

    Hey what happened to the accent? My Mamaws had a heavy accent even to this day my mamaw who is in her 90s still does and I love it. My family still has land in Hazzard and a few live in Hazzard whom I've only met as a child. I hope to someday make it to Hazzard myself. As I'm the only one in my family who has yet to make it. Maybe the idea of what I was told of Hazzard in my mind is different then what this shows. We all know we are great at story telling. As my father was born in Hazzard and said its not the same it once was that seems true.. Hillbillies is a stereotype If you think hunters, gathers, and people who know how to live off the land and making stuff with your own hands are Hillbillies than I'd rather be just that. Land owning is generational and we would rather be land owners than home owners. We have our own graveyard in Hazzard so it is true what one said most go for a funeral. That is sad. I can assure you those of us scattered are still connected to the culture in which we come from. My suggestion as a younger generation when I say younger I mean (40s) stay true to the Hazzard ways of life. I promise people will be drawn to come back to the roots in which we were raised in. Make land owning more affordable and don't section it off so much. As those of us who would like to return to our roots will return for the way of life in which we were raised on.Yes we wear and have shoes but why deny that having the earth beneath your feet makes you feel connected to the earth. Have acces to the return to nature and living off the land with natural springs and growing food, canning, (moonshining was not passed down) but brandy making was, and yes having a having that cup or can of fat we save for flavor is a staple. My fondest memories of my childhood was sitting above the wheel of the tractor and driving through the woods and tilling the garden and and planting seeds was a family event. Snapping green beans with my mamaws and the smell of them being cooked in that fat that was saved was my favorite smell. I may not have ever stepped foot in Hazzard but I was raised with the Hazzard ways of life. That is something I am proud of. Where mens hands feel like sandpaper with oil and grit stains on them and the women are tough as nails. If HGTV does not pick you for the hometown makeover im sure in a down of 5000 people whom know how to build stuff themselves it can be done. I'd gladly donate my time to help as you know we are proud people and take pride in doing stuff ourselves so we all have many skills. I was actually looking for a campground I could bring my camper so I could come to Hazzard with my family and finally see it for myself. It hard to find one in Hazzard. As I heard it was and still is a wonderful place.

      Leeann Cornett My simple point is that it’s pretty safe to say the primary goal was to get on a TV show and not to cater to any one certain demographic or race
