Read many times that US 23 is one the most of (if not the most) dangerous roads in KY. If safety is your concern (wink) you want to avoid US 23. And yes everyone has traveled bad roads in E Ky. Belfry had bad roads, Pine Mountain, on and on. My point is the same. Travel times and danger of being in a wreck are virtually the same either way for Hazard. If Hazard wants to argue that they want to change the alignments of districts that have been in place for years because they don't like a stretch of highway, let them have at it. Tons of teams dislike stretches of highway.:HitWall:

Yeah, I-75 has more wrecks than 421 too, but 23 is a FOUR-LANE ROAD. We can't get any of those in Harlan County, but we've not any Harlan Countians in the governor's office. Just think about Pike County 30 years ago, and it's similar.

I don't think Hazard is using roads as an argument and neither am I. You just said it was a "freakin hour" to Harlan, so I pointed out it's a lot slower driving on curvy, two-lane roads than those you have in Pikeville.
