Pikeville is REALLY small too though.. But I do agree with you about Pikeville being an important city to E.KY. second to Ashland 👍🏼 Pikeville does have way more character, charm, and interesting HISTORY to it than Ashland though 👍🏼
I live in north central Texas but my mom's family is from Floyd county, MacDowell. I haven't been back there in 20 yrs. Some of Pikeville looks familiar but NOTHING about the drive does. Wow, it's sooooo much different
Pikeville is such a great town, been through there many times and always said I could live there. Very unique place filled with some really great down to earth folks
I can only imagine what this little city would look like in the summer. Everything is neat and clean. This could be a vacation destination for those of us who want nature and the quiet life. Homes and businesses were groomed and it is obvious people take pride in what they have.
The people of Pike County Kentucky take great pride in their part of the world. It is absolutely gorgeous when the mountains are green and the sun is shining.
I’m from the region. I live in an unincorporated community in the mountains, I think it’s beautiful. Of course it isn’t perfect, hell my holler is just now getting a proper road starting this morning. Most American suburbs probably look really nice compared to these hollers. But to me, heaven is a humble, rolling mountain. And time flows like a creek. You can spend years here and still learn something new, see something new. Every day. I see a lot of things that take my breath away. When the valleys fill with fog or the sun sets on a pink and orange sky it’s like literally being in a painting. It never gets old. Spring is amazing, redbuds and dogwoods blooming. We usually have to drive like a half-hour to an hour to places like Pikeville for events, shopping, restaurants and appointments. It’s not like we take trips out everyday haha that’d be expensive. But on those occasions, we like to treat ourselves by eating out (that’s how I learned A&W made hamburgers). Out of all the businesses there I think Hobby Lobby sticks out in my mind the most, because I’ve been there a lot. The one near the Walmart.
Great video of a nice small town....I like seeing videos of small towns and cities...i will add this small town of Pikeville to my list of cities to visit
My uncle was the sheriff old Pikeville Kentucky many years ago his name was Bart Potter of course that was before my time and I am almost 70 years old he was quite the character I also lived in Pikeville for several years before moving to South Carolina
My daughter attended UPike for 2 years, we always enjoyed Pikeville and mostly The Breaks, everytime we went we would travel the Breaks, and eat a smash burger.
Agreed. West Virginia has done a great job with the Hatfield and McCoy Trail and drawn a lot of visitors to Southern West Virginia that most likely would not have chosen to visit the area. No reason why Pike County couldn't do the same.
Yep. I live right in williamson and I hear the trail riders come past my house all the time. I'm right next to the old hospital so I guess they just come to see it which is always nice
@@dashcamtravelsusaactually they are one coming thru pike county close to Pikeville they have started on two phases going towards the Williamson way my understandings the plan is to stretch the trail from close to the breaks interstate park to Williamson..not sure complete details but I do know they've started on two phases
I absolutely LOVE LOVE Pikeville KY, My family is from here. I lived in Pike Co as a child and then returned for Highschool. Great video, however Bluegrass music would of been nice for the music selection...I would love to see Stone past the new park
My family( moms side) are from Pikeville. My Pawpaw operated a gas station there in the '50's. Guilford Blackburn. Allen and Morris are the last names of my great grandparents.
I'm related to the Hatfield's from Hatfield and McCoy fame, but I've only ever driven through Pikeville. Would love to spend some time there to see all the important places from the heyday of the fued.
Only part of it. The old riverbed downtown was filled in and is where the Appalachian Wireless Arena and the Riverfill Cinemas are located. The other parts were made into ponds, as they still had to drain the creeks like Little Chloe Creek and Ferguson Creek which now found themselves with no river to drain into. Thanks for watching!!!!
I'm looking for a cheap, safe place to retire. Have been looking online at northern GA and across the border to SC. KY looks nice and seems a bit cheaper for someone on a fixed income. Might want a part time job for extra money. Colder in winter though. Very helpful video as I didn't know what to expect.
Good luck in your search! I live in the Upstate of South Carolina, so I'm partial, but it sounds like you like the mountains and I'd give western NC a good look as well.
I live right in Pikeville. We still have common sense and some morals here. If I’m hopeless then I love it. Takes a sorry human being to say a place (which consists of people) is “hopeless”.

Pikeville is a great place, a few RV parks in the general area its a perfect summer getaway type place and its far from being a tourist trap

I'm enjoying your trip in the small town of Pikeville, Kentucky.
Thank you so much! Too bad it was a dreary day, but Pikeville is an interesting mountain town with much history!
My daughter attended UPike for 2 years, we always enjoyed Pikeville and mostly The Breaks, everytime we went we would travel the Breaks, and eat a smash burger.
If Pikeville can properly tap into the UTV/ATV off-road market like neighboring West Virginia has done, it would certainly boom.

People wanting to visit pikeville come there in April for hillbilly days. You’ll love it
So much more to see .
Appalachian wireless center and Pikeville medical center the best hospital in eastern Ky . And many more unique things in downtown .
Pikeville is definitely Hatfield McCoy territory.
THE SOUNDTRACK HAS OUT-OF-STATE PLATES ... !
Thank you! Cheers!
@@dashcamtravelsusa yes
Why on earth do they parallel park on the left side of the road. I've never seen that done anywhere else before that I can remember.
nicer than most of california
They turned the river into a giant cannel...

BIG SHOUT OUT TO PIKEVILE KY!
The Hills around there looks similar to Athens Ohio.
Similar, but much more rugged than what you'd find around Athens.

@@dashcamtravelsusa I stayed with a friend in Asheville. Too expensive and too many New Yorkers!
It’s nice but the college and hospital have bought up a lot
My home town. Be respectful if you visit. And you can come back.
same city where an FBI agent killed his informant/lover back in the 80's,
You missed several things in your drive thru
I'm sure I did. As with most of my drives on this channel, I was passing through and didn't have time to show everything of interest.
Is this close to Pineville Kentucky?
It's about 80 miles as the crow flies.
Kentucky the bottom of the vat.the hopeless
no, YOU are.!!!!!!
Lol. And we want it to stay that way.
I love here if we can just keep people like you out!!
I live right in Pikeville. We still have common sense and some morals here. If I’m hopeless then I love it. Takes a sorry human being to say a place (which consists of people) is “hopeless”.
PIKEVILE KY IS STRONG AND RESILIANT
