I've lived in Kentucky for most of my life (still do officially even though I'm
in South Carolina for a couple of years). It's a Southern state, though it's
easy to see why people get confused. The states to the north and west of KY
are Mid-Western states, so it gets lumped in with them a lot. This happens a
lot less when you talk about the cities in the extreme eastern or southern
parts of KY. When you talk about Phelps or Corbin you know you're talking
about the South but Louisville and Lexington throw people off.
It was a border state during the war that seems to define our sense of state
geography. I guess the part of the state that wanted to be in the North bck
then is still trying to get out of the South (just now they are going into the
Mid-West). I'm not too caught up on this though... unless it means that I can
be a part of GMLTC. If so than no doubt about it, we're Mid-Western. :)
I remember when I first came to SC that a friend was referring to all of our
"Yankee" friends and included me! The people that argued the most against what
he said were the ones from Northern states.
