Thinking about moving to Paris Kentucky

Postby Keith » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:31 pm

Any thoughts on Paris Kentucky as a place to live? I am looking at a place for sale on Cane Ridge Road. I am selling horses and looking to move sometime in the future. I like it here in Maine but land is much more affordable in Kentucky. I would be working in Georgetown.

I think it is a great idea! I LOVE Paris - it is probably my favorite place in the world. The antique shops and the great little places to eat - plus being home to Claiborne and Quillin - it doesnt get any better!!

The only downfall is work in that area - however if you already have work in Georgetown then it isn't a concern and the commute is only about 20-30minutes.

Plus - there is a HUGE Wal-Mart and my personal favorite - Starbucks!!

Good Luck!

Hi Keith,

I'd say that you need to go there and see what it's like.

Personally I like KY and the Lexington area but you're the one that would have to live there.

Best of luck.

Regards,

Pete

Does this mean you're passing on Charles Town?

Hi everyone!!!

I put in for Georgetown and also put in for Paris and Versailles. Georgetown has an opening so I am very seriosly considering a transfer. I am use to the heat as I moved up her from North Carolina living in the Virginia Beach area while in the Navy. I have been up here since the summer of 2002.

madelyn is right - it is like no other place on earth - miles & miles of black fencing, beautiful horses & the grass is blue when you get off of the plane at keenland bluegrass - calumet is right across the road & it is a sight to be hold - the people where very nice & friendly - they did talk funny though - but northerners talk funny also - I could never imagine living in one of those mansions - they are so beautiful -

claiborne's help was real nice - took only 6 or 8 vistitors on a tour of the farm - men worked with the horses - women worked in the 'office' but not with the horses - it was a wonderful trip
