My mothers' side of the family is from there: Surnames are Bond and Reynolds. My family and I will be passing through there next month and will stop and visit the familial cemetary in Olive Hill for the first time. We're excited to visit!

I've been down there recently. I have a lot of family still in the area. They have been tearing down old buildings and building new business, trying to improve it. A lots changed from my childhood when I use to visit.

This is where my Dad grew up, he was only 44 when he passed, he had one brother 2 sister now have all passed. His name was Gary Maddix. He love his guns, making wood art like pocket knives, well really anything in wood. Also enjoyed making leather items from wallets knife cases, he was a great Artist. I have to say I’m proud of him. I wish he live a longer life. God Bless ✨🙏✨

One time I read a news article in the news paper where a lady said something to the effect of “we need to get the trash off the streets and I’m not just talking about the garbage,” as if to say the folks that hang out downtown are trash. When I was 19, me and my husband at the time moved into our first apartment downtown. We walked everywhere because neither of us drove. So when I read that article it broke my heart. People do the best they can with what they’re given, and instead of calling people trash, we should be helping them. Mr. Barker said in this video that it’s hard for people to thrive in Olive Hill because there are no jobs. Sometimes, a young person’s only option is to live downtown until they’re able to find work or something better. People who live down town are human beings with feelings. To the person who wrote that article years ago calling people trash, be a kinder, more compassionate human and maybe you’ll start to witness the change you wish to see in Olive Hill. It has so much potential. But it will take people coming together as a community and treating one another with respect and compassion. ❤

My grandfather and dad are from olive hill. I live in Texas now. Miss the area and its history.

We have been looking for a retirement property. We found a possible property near Olive Hill, KY. I was excited when I saw this video, I through it would promote Olive Hill. This video actually made me less inclined to move to this area. If I was part of the Chamber of Commerce for Olive Hill, I would try to get this video removed and create a video that promotes this little town. I just can't even understand why you would want a video of all the things that are wrong and dying?

Hope all you want... it's All over.

Thank you Olive Hill for voting for our Prez Donald he's doin a fine job pray for I'm.
