Quiet town on the river
Paducah is one of several cities whose early development was directly tied to river commerce. It's a small town in Western Kentucky, about a three hour drive from Louisville.
I traveled there on work related matters, several years ago, and was amazed at how much hard work had gone into preserving it's Downtown architecture. In the next few days, I'll upload some more pictures of this very nice, quiet town on the river.
What I saw that really caught my eye, were the murals which had been painted on the flood wall at the bank of the river. The city took an eye sore and created art and a history lesson. Walk along it's several block span, and you'll be treated to a great tour back in time.
