I moved here from the north and originally had the same doubts you're having. Rest assured that KY is beautiful, the people are friendly, there is plenty of culture here (ballet, theater, art, etc.), big cities and small towns and everything in between.

It gets hot and humid in the summer, which is just like FL but minus a sea breeze. Spring and autumn are very pleasant, though a bit short for my taste. It's gorgeous here, with loads of trees and flowers, mountains and plains, lakes and caves. There is lots of agriculture plus industry.

I've been here over 30 years, travel a lot around the country, and don't have a desire to live anywhere else. So come on up and join the rest of us transplants. I think you're gonna love it here.
