Rakim
plan on moving their for work.
Answer
This is long, but I hope some of this helps:
I really enjoy living in Lexington, lived here 17 yrs. My husband who has lived in big cities (Chicago, Milwaukee) likes it too. It is the second largest city in the state.
Real Estate...Personally I like the SW end of Lex best, known as SW 4 on Lexington-Bluegrass Association of Realtors page.

Also, lots of folks are also spilling over into surrounding counties. Northern Jessamine Co. (county seat: Nicholasville) is almost like a Lexington suburb. Woodford Co. is lovely, lots of horse farms (county seat Versailles [said Ver-Sales...lots of French words in the area aren't pronounced the way you'd think]). Housing is more expensive to buy or rent in Lex than other areas of KY. Which is why some live in another county, but work and play in Lex.
Schools...have kids? There are public schools with magnet programs/tracks, a few private schools, several parochial schools, and a couple home school groups. Many of the local high schools have held state championships for band and girls H.S. basketball the last few years.
Things to do...
-Lexingtonians love to eat out! Most places happily welcome kids, having kids eat free nights or some other kind of specials. Be aware when you go out.
-Basketball is a kind of religion in Lex. Just accept that we "bleed blue"...let's just not talk about this past season
-Kid specific things (for future): Gymboree Play & Music, Kindermusik, several great city park pools (Southland and Woodland Parks specifically), children's museum locally, two city "nature" parks and the University's arboretum
-The horse park (International Equestrian Games will be here in 2010), horse farms, distillery/farms, and Toyota all offer local tours
-Wonderful state parks near by: Cumberland Falls, one of the only 2 places globally you can see a Moonbow, is 90 mi. south; Natural Bridge 52 mi. SE, great place to hike; Lake Cumberland is 2hr. drive but nice to house boat on
-Cincinnati, 80 mi. N has an aquarium, zoo, train museum, natural history museum. Louisville, 80 mi. W has Louisville Slugger museum, the Derby (though I lived in KY 36 yrs and never been).
-Lots of movie theaters. Also the local Opera House gets some good Broadway and ballet if you like that. Louisville and Cincinnati also have national touring companies come through
-If you're a reader, you must check out Joseph-Beth Booksellers. Huge selection, kids reading program, and a cafe with an outdoor patio overlooking a pond with ducks (one nested on the patio 2007), geese, and fish. Nice place on a spring day, grab a book, sit outside by the lake to read and have lunch..
-Shopping: Fayette Mall and Hamburg Place offer many shops. Fayette Mall is one of the largest indor malls in the state. Hamburg Place has retail, professional and residential developments consisting of in-line stores and free-standing restaurants and stores.

Weather...summer tends to be hazy, hot, & humid. Big drought in 2007. Winter tends to be cold and icy. Big snow is unusual. We are actually under several inches of ice right now,

Fun things to do in Ohio?
Jessie B
This Sunday I'll be going to ohio and the last times i've been there its been really boring. I'm from Jersey and used to the city :P
So this year my father said he'll take me and my brother anywhere we want to go.
What is there to do or places to go?
(food, museums, zoos, amusement parks, etc..)
Answer
Cedar Point is the roller coaster capital of the world. It's in Sandusky, from which you also can visit the Lake Erie islands.
Cleveland has one of the nation's best art museums and admission is free. Visit the West Side Market, which is only open certain days of the week. The U.S.S. Cod, Steamship Mather, Rock Hall, The Arcade, and Lakeview Cemetery are among other favorites of visitors to Cleveland. Cleveland is known for its locavore restaurtants, many on East 4th St., one of the most exciting streets in Ohio, or in the Warehouse District downtown. Restaurants such as Iron Chef Michael Symon's Lola Bistro or the Greenhouse Tavern on East 4th are among the best in the Great Lakes region. Sokolowski's University Inn in Tremont, near downtown, is famed on the cable food channels for its ethnic offerings.
On weekends, you can visit the observation deck of the Terminal Tower, until 1962, the tallest building in North America outside New York City. Also on weekends, Cleveland's 3,000-seat Palace Theater, once one of the nation's great movie palaces, is offering a cinema festival featuring modern classics on the state's largest non-Imax screen. Admission is $5, and includes a pre-showing organ concert of movie music.
Cleveland has a very good zoo, with one of the nation's best Rainforest exhibits and the new African Elephant Crossing, featuring the larger elephants than the Asian elephants present at most zoos.
Check out the Blossom Music Festival or livenation.com for other events at the Blossom Music Center, one of the nation's best summer music venues. Blossom is in the midst of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, about 45 minutes from downtown near Peninsula, Ohio.
Columbus offers one of the nation's best zoos and the Ohio State campus, one of the nation's largest. East of Columbus near Zanesville is the 10,000-acre The Wilds.
Dayton is an aviation history mecca. The U.S. Air Force National Museum is the oldest and largest military air museum in the world. It's superb and admission is free. Get there early to sign up for the presidential airplane hangar, which features several famous presidential airplanes through which visitors can walk.
Also in Dayton is the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park, featuring the accomplishments of the Wright brothers. The first airplane is housed at Carillon Historical Park, and it was perfected and first flown at Huffman Prairie Flying Field.
Near Dayton is King's Island, another very good amusement park.
Reportedly excellent hardwood zip lines are available in the beautiful Hocking Hills, southeast of Columbus, and in the Mohican region east of Mansfield.
Ohio's Amish country is the home of the world's largest Amish population and is centered in Holmes County, southwest of Canton. Canton is the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, if you're a football fan.
Both Cleveland and Cincinnati offer ML Baseball in their downtowns in two fun stadiums. Toledo, Columbus and Akron have excellent minor league baseball stadiums downtown.
The Toledo Museum of Art also has free admission. It's renown Glass Pavilion houses perhaps the world's greatest collection of glass artifacts, some of which are thousands of years old.
Have fun in the Buckeye state!
