My dads family (Gilliam) is from Pikeville and I remember the flood of 77. They relocated to Mt. Sterling, KY after that. And Dwight Yoakum is from Pikeville, I think we're 2nd/3rd cousins? His grandma is my grandpas sister........I think LOL.

I attended St Francis Catholic Elementary School in Pikeville during the early years of the Cut Through construction. The school was beneath the church on South College Street, not far from the site. I remember how cool we kids thought the dynamite blasts were. The Pikeville Cut Through is a wonder to behold, thanks Mayor Hambley, the Man That Moved a Mountain.

Dr. Hambley did surgery that saved my life when I was 8 years old.

My entire family, from five generations back, comes out of the Hellier, Pikeville, Lawrence area. I am determined to visit my ancestral home at some point in time.

The music drowns out the audio of the talking. And, speaking of music, how in hell do you produce anything about Pikeville and not use Dwight's music??

I wonder if moving the river was a good idea the water ways look "dredged" there's no way to slow it down it acts more like a cannel than a natural river...

What a lovely little town....Too bad the citizens voted for Moscow Mitch....Too independant and anti American for my liking.

Some politicians keep getting reelected even though you can find no one that admits to voting for them. Being independent minded and self sufficient are American qualities while the reverse is un-American even though they're promoted as desired traits by the parasitic corporate/media/academia/political machine.
