  • With its abundance of artists, galleries and museums, Paducah is widely considered one of Kentucky's most creative communities. The town sought and received a UNESCO designation as a City of Crafts and Folk Art.
    The heart of Paducah is its downtown. From the earliest explorations of Kentucky's Western Waterlands region, the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers brought people to Paducah's riverfront and the city grew from its banks.
    Home to the National Quilt Museum, fiber artists around the country come here each April for the American Quilter's Society Annual Quilt Show and Contest. Downtown is also home to the Yeiser Art Center, Maiden Alley Cinema, the Carson Center, and the Paducah School of Art.

    My wife and I live in the St Louis area. Paducah has been a favorite one or two day getaway destination for decades.

    Everyone should visit Paducah. You actually feel the history there. Lots of sights, shopping, fascinating places take you back in time. Go, if you haven't.

    I visited Paducah in 2023, from Northumberland in the UK. Everyone was really friendly and to be honest I was reluctant to leave. If I could live there, I would.

    My beautiful beautiful hometown.
    I live in Waco Texas now.
    Our city recently sent a delegation to Paducah to learn how they revitalized the downtown after a new outlying mall killed downtown retail.
    I can’t wait to see how Waco does the same with its rich history and the new money flowing in from home fixer upper projects.

    When my father was initially discharged from the army after his convalescence in El Paso at the end of WWII, he became a gopher for Sen. Barkley in DC. He always spoke well of the Senator, which was remarkable in itself, as he generally held elected and other officials in complete disdain.

    Over at city hall we have cribbage game and boiled chicken dinner every Tuesday night. Some idiot dummped his whole chicken dinner down the toilet. Then tried to flush it causing an overflow at city hall that went down the steps and out in to the street even. What a mess we had on our hands.
