64 years ago Hazard gifted this world with my lovely departed wife of 32 years. It is the cradle of my blessings.

Thanks much for the well presented reminder, of what a beautiful, peaceful place, a true piece of Appalachian history, that Hazard, Kentucky is…It’s been to many decades, but hopefully I will correct that in the year ahead…again, Thank you

Once stayed in hazard when I was working in the area. I stayed in the hotel on top of the mountain close to town. I went for a walk late that night and when I got back my clothes actually smelled sweet. Something about really fresh air that smells so good.

@MountainRoots Год назад

Good ol' mountain air!

My roots are Jackson (breathitt county) Kentucky, and hazard is right there, and believe me when I say there is nothing like driving down one of them old country roads late in the evening in those hills.. Kentucky truly is a one of a kinds type of place, especially eastern Kentucky.

I was born and raised near Hazard, I still go back every time I get the opportunity to visit my hometown and family. I left right after graduating from High School

@ronniefugate8443 Год назад

That was back.in 1972. I joined the Army and retired in 1999.

My mom's father lived in Hazard. His house was a 10 min walk from the police station. His name was Charlie Niece. The only time I was there. A police officer stopped by his house and brought him out to me. That was in the early 2000's. Everyone seemed real friendly that I talked to

@r.pres.4121 Год назад

It appears that Hazard is trying to diversify its economy and it appears quite lively with a mix of old and new along with many small eclectic businesses. Having a lively arts and culture scene helps the town’s economic health.

You're welcome!

@texaswunderkind Год назад

Hazard is the county seat. That's vital for the fortunate few small towns still hanging around a rapidly urbanizing nation. By law, the county has to have a courthouse, and administer elections, so that tends to force a certain number of jobs and people into the city. Schools, medical facilities, grocery stores, and banks tend to follow. Just a few core government jobs can inject much-needed cash into a small-town economy.

🤣 my mom had relatives here, I voted in the 80s when I was a teenager. Was my 1st experience with cows tied along the roadside. Went to the bank and had to stay in the car, because they didn't get may visitors at that time. And it was like there was a countdown 3,2 1...and a dozen or more people stepped out if those businesses and stared at us...🤣 good times!!

First off,I love your videos great job.i just have a question about the showing of mostly downtown areas in these communities, is that a logistics/time thing,a privacy thing or none of the above?,love to see back roads etc...but none the less these are all great, thanks.

@MountainRoots Год назад

Hey thanks for watching and the feedback! I guess it's somewhat a touch of both. Occasionally I will show where I film driving through the more residential areas of these places, & back roads.

@GSPfan2112 Год назад

The city of Hazard doesnt supoort the people of Saul. They could build a bridge across Buckhorn lake or something. But no, it takes like 20 miles to get from Saul to Hazard. My uncle died out there cause the Ambulances had to drive too far and didnt have the appropriate resources.

@hazardballers Год назад

That has nothing to do with hazard. Saul and buckhorn are well out of city limits

@GSPfan2112 Год назад

@@hazardballers Hazard is the county seat. They have administrative power over Saul and Buckhorn. They have a lot to do with Saul. Youre just another example of someone who doesnt care about your fellow Kentuckians.

@GSPfan2112 Год назад

@@hazardballers You should look up the Perry County map and youll see how disconnected Saul is from the rest of the County, and its gone on for over 60 years. Buckhorn lake blocks Saul from getting County support from the administrative seat of Hazard. Hazard owes Saul much more than theyve ever been given.

@hazardballers Год назад

Doubt you’ll ever see a bridge over buckhorn lake especially just to connect Saul, I wouldn’t say it’s not that they don’t care that just doesn’t seem necessary at all build a massive exspensive bridge over a lake to connect a hollow it just won’t ever happen. Got a bunch of friends who live in squabble creek I know it sucks being isolated and what not but it’s just not worth a bridge.

@hazardballers Год назад

In all honesty moving closer to the city would probably be your only option unfortunately.
