Advise for Lexington Trip

~~The Virgin~~ · 04-06-2011, 12:31 AM

Hello everyone. I'll be goint to Lexington, Kentucky next week for a one month company training. I would just like to know do we have anyone who lives there? What should I expect? Are people nice there? Is it true that they don't have the nicest food?

I'm gay by the way, a bit camp, and I hope you can give me advise if majority of the people there are homophobic so I can try to forcedly suppress my gayness. Also, I'm going alone and I can't drive, so most probably i'll be riding a cab, is taxi accessible there?

Appreciate so much all your inputs.

Been there twice on business also. Richmond is where i stayed. People are genuinely nice, lots of good eateries, not sure how close to Lexington they are.

Two of the better places i ate at. I would venture to say most people are gonna side towards being homophobic its the bible belt and you should expect it.

Lexington, from what I've experienced there, isn't horribly homophobic, but it's like pretty much any place I've been in America (22/50 states). There are some pretty sweet music venues that I've been to in Lexington - Cosmic Charlie's is definitely worth a visit, I'd say. Bar + Music, and it's for ages 21 and over, so you don't have to deal with as much of the University crowd as a lot of other places in the city.

And from what I remember, cab fare is pretty decent there. There are always good things available in hotels which give you the names and numbers for takeout, cabs, and local attractions. They're pretty accessible.

I'm about an hour and a half or two hours from Lexington myself, but I spend a lot of time in Richmond or Berea, with trips to Lexington for concerts and to visit friends who go the University of Kentucky.

It's a pretty nice place. Have fun!

Thank you. I'm just wondering, as of currently, what's the weather there? God i hope it's not below 20 degrees celsius. I mean, winter is already over there right?

ThePhanastasio · 04-07-2011, 10:18 AM

Yes, winter is over. Has been since March. It was about 40 degrees and rainy earlier in the week - it rains here a lot during spring.

Today, there's a high of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. So, about 21 degrees Celsius. It still gets as low as about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or, 10 degrees Celsius at night.

It is supposed to rain or be cloudy most of next week, though.

I'm already here in Lexington, Newtown Pike. Dang, the place is really, really nice and almost all American guys are see are intensely hot. So cute. Lots of handsome men. Just as I expected.

Just don't drop your pants in front of them or something.....

Hahaha, that would seem like something you could do, Il Duce
