[Son of the Alamo]

I'd like to piggy back off this because I seen the cross burning jab in the other post and wanted to address it. I moved to Corbin after living only in bigger city's like Dallas & Fort Worth Texas. I have noticed that in my time living here that I have found the sundown town reputation to be untrue. I challenge anyone that come to Corbin to just go Downtown just about any night of the week and you will find a diverse crowd at most of the local eateries and entertainment venues. I have noticed a large influx that my family fits into of Millennial and Gen X people that have either lived in large city's or went to school that decided to either move back or come here because of the small town community and honestly the strong emphasis of community support for sports too as a good place to raise kids. I also have noticed that the diversity in students to be growing also which I think is great. I hate to throw a certain industry under the bus but the sundown town stories always correlate's with the railroad and CSX having a hub right in downtown. but in modern time the CSX hub is all but closed and I think the previous experience more correlated with the railroaders that in all honesty had probably came from further in the south and were acting up in an area they had no investment in. below is a Time magazine write up from Silas House in 2018 talking about the changes coming to the area and I find a lot of what he says to be true even though my politics may not match with his I still respect what he says about the community.
