Economically , culturally, historically….and no one seems to care.
Haven’t heard an objection---from any one.
It started with this headline in the Louisville Courier-Journal: “Bourbon Trail Starts here”
Oh??? Louisville is
closer to Bourbon County than Lexington is? Closer to many of the
historic distilleries and famous names in bourbon history? (Pappy
vanWinkle might be one to object. His rare, purloined
spirit wasn’t made in Jefferson County.)
This is serious.
And not just for
stealing Blue Grass history and culture. Hundreds of thousands of
tourism dollars, and a lot of jobs could be at stake.
So what’s being done about it?
Silence from City Hall. Silence from Commerce Lexington. Silence from my fave morning paper.
I gather we are going to roll over and let River City get away with it.
Darn shame.
A lot of
anniversaries of the Vietnam war are coming up..time to relearn our
history for we of the older generations; time for younger people to
learn some important history and civic lessons (which our government
didn’t learn..and plunged right on into Iraq and Afghanistan..and may
yet in Syria!)
As the local media
pump out these anniversary stories, please pay attention. It’s really
important if we are not to relive our mistakes..and killed thousands
more.
KET plans a major program, ”The Last Days of Viet Nam” Tuesday at 9pm. Please watch!
