For those who dont know Pikeville is big time for this part of KY - most towns here are very small
My daughter is going to medical school in Pikeville. It’s a great small town that has a lot!
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
I live right in town! Thanks for showing our little neck of the woods!
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.
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 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.
I live right in town here in Pikeville. The city takes great care of everything and makes sure it stays clean and safe as possible. Love it here
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
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
I'm kin to the Hatfields, so I have a connection to Pikeville and like you, I now live in South Carolina! Greetings and thanks for watching!
And btw this is a Beautiful place in spring ,summer and fall . So picturesque.
i found this on my recommended for some reason, and i actually live in pikeville, i wont give you exactly where i live but, all ill say is that i live in hambley boulevard, and yes, its BEAUTIFUL in the summer! :D
Nice! I hope to get back there at some point and get a more in depth video with much better weather (hopefully with leaves on the trees and clear skies)! Thanks for stopping by!
If Pikeville can properly tap into the UTV/ATV off-road market like neighboring West Virginia has done, it would certainly boom.
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 lived in pikeville for many years. Worse place on earth to find a job and to get one you got to be somebody,s inbred cousin
My mom’s family is from Mouth Card, Ky. Always went to Pikeville when visiting. Love it❤️ Also have relatives living in Pikeville!!
My mom’s maiden name is Childress. Also have Belchers, Thackers and Thompson (relatives)
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
I am a simple man so I am also looking for a place to move to ….Don’t need much to be happy
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.
very nice job ....... the whole video ...like how u showed the map to start ............. then the rts. u were on ........again , well done
Thanks! I want my viewers to have as much info before the drive as possible! Appreciate the feedback and thanks for visiting!
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 dad’s family are from Pike and Floyd county Kentucky!
Born and raised here and still live here! If we can just keep the fruit loops out!
People wanting to visit pikeville come there in April for hillbilly days. You’ll love it
So much more to see .
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.
Thank you! Cheers!
@@dashcamtravelsusa yes
Pikeville is definitely Hatfield McCoy territory.
THE SOUNDTRACK HAS OUT-OF-STATE PLATES ... !
Appalachian wireless center and Pikeville medical center the best hospital in eastern Ky . And many more unique things in downtown .
nicer than most of california
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.
The Hills around there looks similar to Athens Ohio.
Similar, but much more rugged than what you'd find around Athens.
They turned the river into a giant cannel...
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.
@@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
Is this close to Pineville Kentucky?
It's about 80 miles as the crow flies.
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.
My home town. Be respectful if you visit. And you can come back.
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”.
