Earlier quoted context omitted.

Please keep in mind that real people live in Kentucky and joke stereotyping it as you have is both unhelpful to progress and downright hurtful to those of us trying to make it a better place to live.

I'm a proud Kentuckian, and I thought it was amusing.

I agree that it's amusing as a joke made in context with friends over a beer. Not so much where the primary audience is the globe.

If you're going to visit the Florence archaeological site[0], you may as well go see the famous water tower[1]: [0] https://archaeology.ky.gov/Find-a-Site/Pages/Florence.aspx [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Y'all_Water_Tower

I was born and raised in Florence. I've always been fascinated by how widely the water tower is known; as far away as Boston I've had someone remark on it upon learning that I'm from there.

I'm not sure Florence has all that much else to recommend it, mind you. Of all the suburban towns surrounding Cincinnati, it's definitely one of them.

Florence has one of my favorite roadside eateries: the Quaker Steak & Lube! (known for their chicken wings, lol)

Any time we drive to the Ikea in Cinci from KY, we'll get hot wings on the way home.
