Paducah, Kentucky

I went through my old home town of Paducah, Ky yesterday.
Man, they've torn up everything. The highways, the house I'd grown up in, EVERYTHING!
It's now a rich person's town.
The cheap houses there look like the top line houses in Las Vegas.
I couldn't believe they rebuilt all of the houses in my old neighborhood.
But here's the odd thing, they left the roads as one laners,
so to pass by an oncoming car, you have to drive through someones yard and run over their little nigger statue holding a lantern.
I was surprised Starnes BBQ is still there. Its funny, a green brick restaurant is smack dab in the middle of new shopping centers. Starnes BBQ still has the best BBQ in the world (except for mine). They no longer smoke the meat there any more though. I missed that smoke smell.
We ate our BBQ at Bob Noble Park, which used to be Paducah's best attraction. It's beautiful, and it hasn't change a bit!!!
I guess Paducah is fueled by Kentucky Lake's posh growth and their technology center.
The hicks have turned into hacks.
