Lexington, KY pros and cons

-
9/6/2008
I relocated to Lexington, KY from Carbondale, IL Jan this year(2008). I've not been so happy with Lexington. I really wanted to move to Knoxville, TN but was afraid of the crime rate looking so high (according to Sperlings 7/7). Lexington looks much like So IL. I did get to take a ride in the countryside and it was hilly and beautiful. The downtown here is beautiful and historic. Some of the houses remind me of houses in both New Orleans and Charleston, SC. My son can't stand staying in a motel and because of that I got stuck living in a not so pretty and not so good neighborhoods (near Woodhill Dr. If you move to Lexington and want to go to some of the best places you will need a car. I have to rely on the bus and the bus doesn't go to either the Horse Park or 2 of the best parks they have. So I've not been so happy here.
