The Welcome To Kentucky Sign Is The Best Sign In The World

Dorothy said it best, “There’s no place like home.” While she may well have been referring to Kansas, we happen to think there’s no place like Kentucky. We love the Bluegrass State, and count ourselves lucky each and every day that this beautiful place is ours. Whether we’re returning home from a vacation or simply commuting to work, there’s no better sight in the world than the “Welcome to Kentucky” road sign.

Rolling hills and horse pastures, charming towns and welcoming cities, scenic beauty for days – this is the Bluegrass State.

While we here at OnlyInYourState encourage a healthy appetite for travel and adventure, we have to admit: there’s no place like home.

Some of us commute across the river for work each day. At 5 p.m., despite the clog of rush hour, there’s nothing better than returning over the bridge, back to the Bluegrass State.

Whether “home” for you is one of the many small towns, “big little cities,” or the state’s largest locales, there’s no place like home in Kentucky.

Kentucky is proudly Southern, embracing front porch culture, fried chicken, and welcoming hospitality – you won’t find kinder people anywhere else.

For these reasons, and so many more, Kentucky residents are the luckiest. There’s no better sight in the world than the “Welcome to Kentucky” sign that embraces us all with open arms.
