Geoblocking? I am in Brazil and all I see is this: The request is blocked. 0kEE0YwAAAADSrOoEHVCAQrfsFyH2VJaQR1JVMzBFREdFMDgyMQBjZTgwMzljZS04NTZjLTRkYzktYjgwZC02MzlhMDg1MmY4Mzk=

Since it is a government website, I suspect that foreign IP have a strong historical correlation with mischief. Particularly because mostly forgotten webpages like this one are an attractive nuisance for black hats, banning foreign IP’s was probably a best-practice argument. There’s also the possibility that a sudden uptick in activity (HN slashsot effect) triggered an internal mechanism. And politically, I suspect t…
works just fine from Canada?
As someone who grew up in Kentucky but now works in the Bay Area, what is the tech scene like back home these days?
Got to love Geoblocking, especially this one. what would be accomplished by geoblocking a states's tourism site? Isn't the core point of state sites like this to attract tourists? Does geoblocking them help with this goal? Some years ago Arizona paid to put very large advertisements in downtown Toronto (Canada) to attract cold candians in the winter... things like that may work, geoblocking certainly wont.

Is there a compelling reason besides being friendly? Like treaties or something?

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.
(My business is known for its chicken wings as well, just comparing notes!)
Mammoth Cave is worth the visit if you’re in the area.

What makes the wings so good? (My business is known for its chicken wings as well, just comparing notes!)
Mind you, I haven't had them in years and now live almost 7 hours from the nearest Quaker Steak and Lube. My recollection may be flawed.

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 live near my birthplace in the Ozarks of southern Missouri. I've spent a lot of time in Kentucky, as well. I'm not "punching down" ITT. One way to "make it a better place" would be to leave a comment on the form like I did. Kentucky residents probably have other options as well...
But I have a soft spot for the people whom I left obviously, and won’t tolerate highbrow coast-dwellers being jerks for no good reason. These hill folks tend be victims of their own boredoms caused by an independent nature that was once a highly desirable trait when we talk about survival… but victims of inevitable progress and deserve help/pity instead of scorn. Except those who deserve scorn, ya know??
Mammoth Cave, included in this list, also happens to be the longest known cave system in the world [0]. [0] https://www.doi.gov/blog/mammoth-cave-explore-worlds-longest... .
