Besides               John               Michael               Montgomery               there               are               many               others               who               have               ties               to               the               area.

There               are               many               more               who               have               risen               to               fame               and               call               the               bluegrass               country               home.
               While               you're               in               the               Lexington               area               one               thing               not               on               the               map               or               tourist               guides               or               websites               is               the               people.

The               caliber               of               horses               is               often               mentioned               but               not               so               much               the               caliber               of               people.

It's               true               that               there's               good               and               bad               everywhere               but               there               are               some               of               the               best               people               calling               this               area               home.

They're               willing               to               give               a               hand               up,               not               a               hand               out               -               even               to               strangers.

They're               good               people               -               look               for               the               smaller               out               of               the               way               places               as               well               as               those               mentioned               here               -               go               walk               through               the               towns               and               check               out               the               little               cafes               and               shops               and               meet               the               people               who               make               this               area               special.

In               25               years               of               trips               to               the               area               there's               not               been               one               time               there               wasn't               SOMETHING               special               that               happened               -               even               the               trip               a               little               misfortune               happened.

Suffice               to               say               I'm               glad               it               was               Lexington               and               not               one               of               several               other               cities!

Many               plan               trips               to               the               big               cities               and               the               coasts               -               ignoring               completely               "flyover               country".

Plan               a               trip               to               Lexington               and               make               some               memories!
