We were in Kentucky a few days ago and we're back again as we head from Nashville to points west. This is a very cute riverfront town. We were all primed and ready to do a little antique shopping and get a bite to eat. Um, No. We forgot it was Sunday and folks, this is the Bible Belt. Everything was closed so we just looked around, took a few pictures and moved on.
This is a downtown street in Paducah.
This is right downtown which borders the riverfront. The Ohio and Tennessee rivers meet here. Here is a wall that has places cut out (you can drive through and down to the river) that large sections can be placed in, just in case the river rises to flood stage. I have never seen anything quite like it, but it may be common back there. There are definitely more rivers than we see out West.
Here is the riverfront, taken from the large entrance in the wall. This is a large port.
