Lot of good options offered here. Iam very partial to a arc that begins from Frankfort down thru Bowling Green toNashville. The prettiest part of Ky is IMHO the U.S. 27 corridor from Frankfort to Danville. Knoxville is nice with the park nearby but I would probably choose to live down toward Maryville maybe Louisville. Yes there's one in Tn. Be sure to check your crime stats as Tn has some issues as well as areas of KY. May not seem bad to city Dwellers but it seems there are daily shooting in Lexington. Usually drug/gang related. I suspect the same is driving Tn.
