Kentucky town named one of the best lakeside retirement spots by Southern Living

Kentucky has 45 major lakes across the Commonwealth, but only one spot made Southern Living's list of the South’s best lake towns for retirees. On a list of 17 southern lake towns “where retirement feels like a vacation,” Paducah earned a spot. Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, the two largest lakes in the Commonwealth, sit near Paducah, and three rivers, the Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee, meet in or around the town. “Paducah and the small towns that surround it offer up fun on the area’s many lakes and rivers,” the magazine said. The Paducah Riverfront sits on the shores of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. According to the city , the riverfront has a “variety of can’t-miss sites,” including historical markers, murals, festivals, fireworks, concerts and boat docks. The town hosts events year round. Here are some coming up this week: Wednesday, Nov. 11 2026 Veterans Day opening ceremony and parade. Sewing for a sustainable future: Unlocking the language of patterns.

9 Old-School Kentucky Buffets That Have Barely Changed And Remain Local Favorites

I’d bet there’s a road trip you keep saying you’ll take. Maybe it involves a plate piled with fried chicken, country ham, and a slice of pie you didn’t plan on. Call me impatient, but I don’t think buffet adventures belong on a someday list. Someday rarely shows up, and next month has a funny habit of sliding into next year.

Meteor shower may bring ‘incredible fireballs.' When to see it from Kentucky

An upcoming meteor shower peaking over Kentucky soon is known for producing bright fireballs, and the ideal viewing period will be longer than usual. The Northern Taurids peak around Wednesday to Thursday , but a longer peak means any night the second week of November will offer good viewing opportunities, AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Lada told the Herald-Leader in a recent email. “Unlike most meteor showers that peak over the course of one or two nights, both of the Taurids have longer, drawn out peaks that last about a week,” Lada said. The Southern Taurids peaked in early November. Because the Northern Taurids have a longer peak, Lada advised stargazers to choose the night with the best weather to stargaze. Lexington stargazers can expect clear skies Monday night and mostly clear skies Tuesday night.

Saturday night is forecast to be mostly clear, according to the National Weather Service. “The Taurids are also known for producing fireballs, which are incredibly bright meteors that can briefly be as bright as a full moon,” Lada said. “Not every meteor will be one of these incredible
