Lexington is an hour and 45 minutes on a dry day. Still not New York but there are a few things to do.
Housing was easy, but very expensive for what one gets. Pikeville is NOT cheap. I think I got lucky in my building and now I see, I could have done much, much worse.
Basically, I walked into a place, they did the background, and called a few hours later and I had the apartment in hand the same day. It's not the best, but it's a place to live and in an ok location and they only take professional applicants and medical students with a higher standard.
I was in Lexington last weekend and it was about a 3 hour drive. If I push it, which is not advisable due to the cops, I can do it in a little less.
Not much to do as I was recommended, so I just went to the urban sprawl areas, so at least I can shop there.
Charleston is barren.
Will try Cincinnati this weekend and Louisville later.
