]]> I had a lovely walk in the beautiful city of Barbourville, Kentucky, on Sunday March 4th, 2023. I was able to tour the beautiful seat of Knox County and took in the sights. Although this is a small city by Lexington or Louisville standards, it has a number of great places to eat, plenty cool shops, and some of the nicest and most caring people in all of Kentucky. Unfortunately, I was so mesmerized by the beautiful Love You! mural that I didn’t look where I was walking. I’ve toured dozens of cities and towns and I’m always very mindful of my surroundings, but one of the few times I wasn’t, cost me dearly. It was an accident and that’s that; however, I made pretty good impact with the concrete embankment, fell, and had a pretty touch ‘n go time. I ended up getting 9 stitches later in the day at Baptist Health in Corbin. Thankfully, I kept my head at the scene of the fall, didn’t panic, and dealt with the situation as best as I could. I was very lucky to have been helped by some wonderful people that really made the difference!

Another Beautiful Mural

One gentleman drove by and was very concerned. I asked if he could bring me some water and he drove off. Next, I saw a lady getting out of her car and asked her if she had any water. I was pretty parched and had dry mouth as a result of the fall. She brought be a bottle of water and her companion/family member/friend Alister went back to the vehicle as they were about to go into the Mexican restaurant and brought me some gauze from the car (he’s on the video). And right after he gave me the gauze, the gentleman who had driven off returned, with a huge bottle of ice cold Cumberland Springs water. I honestly was extremely lucky to have been looked after by such nice people. Barbourville is truly a great place. It’s very well-maintained, has tons of history, and absolutely wonderful, kindhearted residents!

A Walk In Barbourville

I can’t wait to come back to Barbourville and check out Court Square at night. The Alley looks like a pretty happening place. The Mexican restaurant looks to be very good and I’d love to have a cup of Joe at The Ugly Mug Coffee Shop. If you’re ever in the area, make it point to visit Barbourville and spend a few bucks in town. Also, don’t forget to check out the beautiful courthouse! As you all know by now, I’m a huge history buff, and Barbourville/Knox County has plenty of it!
