I'm from Middlesboro, a city of 15,000 people about an hours drive from Harlan County. If any of you watched the History Channel Program "America: The Story of Us" Then you might remember one episode opened with a meteor tearing ass through the sky and hitting on the KY/TN/VA border. Well, the hole left in Earth is where I live. It is in all ways a hole in the ground, and it lives up to it. So, when my neck of the woods (literally) gets it's own show. I am beyond elated. Now take into account the fact the show is GOOD, and they do a fair job of portraying the local characters as both near half retarded hicks, and some highly intelligent southern ladies and gentlemen respectively, I can't get enough. The part that makes sure I will NEVER miss an episode is that my sisters name is Carrie Carnes, and this weeks program had a lady named Caryn, and for the better part of the show I couldn't hear the name being said clearly enough, so I assumed it was Carrie. She is also a 30 something blond girl of equal build. Who ironically is a man eater (My sister as well as Caryn from the show). I am proud to be from here,and will take the name hillbilly or redneck with no argument. Although, I don't present visually as either (my accent is a dead give away though) I don't think there is a prettier place on Earth, and wouldn't trade the people for any other group. It has as many faults if not more than where you live, but it has a charm that has to be lived to be understood. Kentucky - you don't have to do Meth or marry your cousin to live here, but it helps :D
