lived there for 12 years

not the greatest placeo n earth...LOL

downtown is pretty small, not much to do other than a few clubs and hotels

if you like horses there is plenty to see and do, but other than that it is a pretty boring town overall....glad to have moved away and usually don't go back unless I have to

I am sure you were reading something that was typed up to hype the city

yes, it is growing, and fast...but that always has been the case

to give you an idea, this is the largest and most popular club in downtown
http://www.dameky.com/
and it only hold 200-300 people

it is a nice town, don't get me wrong, but it isn't exactly the swinging city of the south...but as with any town, it is as fun as you make it, and 12 years was a bit much for me...LOL

anyone else from or been to Lexington, KY with input???

Thanks

You forgot to mention it being a town of pretty horses and fast women..

I live outside Louisville.
I been to lex many times.
I used to date a girl over there and frequent to keeneland all the time.
Downtown is small. But it is a flashy kinda town.
Granted, I haven't been there at night in a few years.
But downtown is all lite up..with white lights on the trees and sorts..
Kinda like Christmas.
If you have time. You may want to take time to go to Ky Horse Park, not far from Keeneland or the airport.
Lexington is big..but spread out as well.
Beautiful area..especially out on the west end of town..where all the horse farms are. Lexington is a RICH town.

by the way, out of curiosity, if you know or if anyone knows, how much does a nice 1br apartment rent for in Lexington?

I was in Lexington in mid-May for a wedding. Great place.

Very countryish, very green. Horse country - I highly recommend it.

A nice one bedroom isn't going to cost you much, maybe $700 - $750.

i live about an hour oustide of lexington near cincinnati........to answer a couple of ?'s.....

You can get a really nice one bedroom for $700.

Def!! Hit up the Horse Park.....a couple of me and my girlfriends were just talking about that last night.

Up my way is the Underground Railroad Museum....I think that actual name is like Freedom Center or something.

Best Strip Club in Lexington -- Cowboys! and the owner of the club owns is own car club too.

thanks for info. i have been thinking of maybe trying to sublet a place for a month or 2 now that my father is most likely not going to make it. Looking to possibly move since i am tired of NYC....I will definitely checkout the underground RR museum...thanks again.
