Rude people abound 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 12, 2021) The only nice people here are the ones visiting. A ton of karen's . You'd be a liar If you said the quilt muesuem wasn't incredible. Even if you're not into quilts see it ...Read More Read Less

Be a bernie sander supporter or don't come here 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 12, 2021) Seriously it's trash . It's rapidly turning into a crime center since they tried to make it mini chicago.

Cruelty abounds here 1 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 28, 2019) I purchased a house in Paducah, and was immediately set upon by one man working for the city. The house was a historical one, and had very little wrong with it. Some of the wiring had been updated in the 1970's, but most of it was older. Instead of helping us, he condemned the ho ...Read More use and put us out. Then, I was fined for not getting the work done in six months. I was never given a timetable by the city for getting the work done. Then, because I disagreed with the decision, I was fined another $20,000. The house now sits, boarded up, falling into disrepair. This man had a vendetta against me and I don't know why, except that he told me, "I hate that house". People that I went to for help were not nice. This is not a friendly place for outsiders. The people are cruel. I think maybe it was because my baby son is mixed race, but I will never be sure. Avoid this place. Read Less

Paducah, KY: A Forgettable Southern City 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I lived in Paducah for a little while but left because it had very few opportunities. It is pretty far away from any larger cities and the local job market leaves a lot to be desired. If you're looking for a well-paying job or colleges, you will find little here. While the real e ...Read More state here looks affordable, that's because the crime rate is much above the state average and there are few high-end jobs available.

On the other hand, Paducah has some nice natural areas you can visit. Shawnee National Forest sits along the cities northern edge and is a great place to visit. You can hike there or just visit for an afternoon with your dog or some friends. There aren't many stores here either, so you'll need your own car to drive to neighboring cities to find what you need in a lot of cases. If you have an opportunity to live somewhere else, you're most likely better off taking it. Read Less
