I came across a good article about Maysville this morning in a news feed, especially about the local claim that Maysville is the original home of bourbon and also the local museum which has become rather famous for some of it's collections.
The history of bourbon (named after Bourbon County I believe) is very interesting. I don't know how many other towns claim to be where bourbon originated but it certainly is a huge part of Kentucky's economy.
We're not all that bad though. Upstate Ny'ers are pretty redneck. Only concern I have is the religious aspect. Seems to be a church every mile or so. How religious are the locals? I'm a catholic, but a "live and let live" person. Is there a lot of religion judging? Also, my husband is Scottish. He gets **** in NY because of his accent etc, in a playful/curious way.. I wouldn't want him to feel like an outcast. Visiting people are polite.. but I'm wondering if it's different once you move in.. lol.
McKee and Maysville have both been chosen to be in the running for the 10 best Southern small towns by USA Today. You can vote for them here once a day until Friday March 3 if you'd like to show support for a couple of small KY towns.

If you get away from NYC and long island (which makes up a small geographic area of the state but most the population) the remainder of the state is almost exclusively red counties, farming, outdoors stuff, small towns and medium sized cities etc. It has way more in common with Pennsylvania or Ohio than NYC it just unfortunately is in a state run by fringe loonatics and there's no out voting NYC.
If you meet someone from NY and they are not from the NYC area they're very likely a regular average person.
This photo I took was published in today's paper. "The Rosemary Clooney Steps". Her family home sits on top of this hill next to these steps named after her in the 1950s. The town threw a huge party and pararade for her and declared the day Rosemary Clooney Day to celebrate the making of her first Hollywood movie.
The steps connect 2 streets to make it easier for pedestrians to walk from one to the other without having to walk all the way around using the road.
There are several more steps built in the 1800s among the hills similar to these around the old part of town.

Pretty picture Marino. So green this time of year.
Not sure I would be able to walk up all those steps any more though!
Congrats on having you picture published!
