Lynch, Kentucky | How Did It End Up Like This? 

Not a word spoken, but no words are needed.

I'm looking around this region of the country. No way I'm gonna be able to get out of the city that I live in until Spring minimum. But I'm getting the hell out.

Very nice video of an interesting place. It doesn't look completely defeated yet. There are a lot of nice homes. Beautiful hilly location!

Thanks bud😎. Stay hydrated out there, it’s just scorching in Georgia today

Old World buildings, a canal and Lots of buried structures. Must have been an amazing place in its prime.

This one is a god video, it's much closer to the homes. They are all always great. Thanks for posting them.

I remember back in 1989/90, hopping in my old 1976 Chevy 1/2 ton stepside in Central Illinois, and just took off on a nice little road trip with absolutely no destination in mind. I just headed south & let the road lead the way. I actually stopped & ate at a little diner along the main drag through town. Although it wasn't as far south as other states, they still had southern hospitality, and served up some good grub. So sad to see a pleasant little community fall to such wreck & ruin. A few of those now abandoned homes look like someone could just move right in & fix them up for practically next to nothing. Makes me sad & wish i had money. I love a quiet little community where everyone is friendly, but minds their own business.

This town is like so many: some people doing OK, many people hanging on by a thread, and for some, the thread has broken and they have vanished. I liked the one door painted a bright pinkish-purple and the one house with flowering bushes. Hope springs eternal.

I currently live 5 minutes from lynch. I grew up in near by Cumberland ky. Lynch in it's prime had over 10 thousand residents which is impressive since it's only .9 miles. 10 thousand people in less than a mile. Had the second biggest hotel in the world. At one time they wanted it to be the state capitol of Kentucky.

Beautiful town in summer.

Country is decaying from within , still some fine country and people there. Spend some time in the area, have friends from harlan county. Thanks for the look around this little town.

Please, we dont accept videos less than 20minutes. We LOVE your channel. What a video!! Im from Brazil. That one day God bless me to live in a woody house like that showed up at the beggining of video in blue. I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN THAT!! 💙😔😢

I'm considering WV just not sure where yet. Love the hills and color! Inexpensive living and really nice people! 3-5 yrs! ❤️

I love some of the houses. very beautiful buildings.

Thanks! I will be moving soon 🔜 🚪so lots of packing going on and discarding of items no longer wanted. I will be off of YT for awhile before and after getting the new place set up. Catch up with your new videos later.

What happened here? Same old story. Jobs go away, people move out, thieves, vandals and arsonists move in. Even the parts of the town still in good shape look totally devoid of people. Most of the town has sidewalks, too, but no one to use them. Saw a couple of interesting cars.

This vlog felt like vacation time Road Tirp !!!.

Watching these hoods and hollers from australia, I notice the houses are so so close to the roads and I didn't see any shop like food shopping groceries where do people go for food.

My husband ( this is Judy) keeps after the weeds on our property and now I see why!

beautiful from uk granny keep posting videos

That little Welcome Center. 😢

"Trailer Park Drive" didn't seem to have any trailers on it 🤣 Lynch really is a combination of dead buildings and lots of people still trying to eke out a living amongst the beautiful hills

Another lovely town I wouldn't mind visiting!

holy moley damn .. awesome stuff thanx

Always really solid content, friend 🏚️

my hometown! Still trying to get out of this place . I love it but it's sure time to go .....

I hate seeing these towns die. But it is that way in most of Eastern Ky

My grandmother Cathy is from here...she moved to chicago but I remember coming here for the summer

This one is not bad. A little fixing would help it look very nice

It's a pretty little town

Дуже красиве місце

Somebody did a California stop there at 11:04 LOL.

Looks pretty nice to me.

There appear to be a lot of homes that are kept up quite well.

I think that's where my kids want me to live😊

I wonder why a couple of vehicles park in a closed building.

How much?

Похож на дачный поселок, мне понравился

I was born in lynch in 1950.

The decay versus nice was really interesting in this town, beat up old industrial then tadaa, a bright sunny yellow church. I was wondering about the duplexes with different siding on each side though. This was a nice one, thank you

I like to by a house

Beautiful town

Some weird ultra low speed limits. Solid yellow lines, and water plant looked vacant and non functional.

I lived here in the 70s

I lived in umber 1 in the eighties

Must be depressing even for those with nice homes. Been thru many areas like this in Ky and WV

Autio would have been better but still a like

COAL IS NO LONGER KING !

Cuánto valen la casa

It's odd when you notice it; but why is there so many abandon places now? It makes me wonder are they lying about earth's population? Is there actually alot less people than they claim? bizarre

It was a coal mining town and the coal ran out

Big coal companies destroyed the coal fields, and then ran away.

It's called Lynch...

😢😢😢😢😢

This video was too fast..Go slow and lasts longer
