What name does it go by and where is it? It's been a long time since I've been there. I may need to make some time to get back over there.
High Bridge at Jessamine & Mercer counties.

People I worked with said this was either longest or only bridge in either Kentucky or America with a raised curve on both ends.

Looks like a distillery in the background and crossing what I would guess is the KY River. Is it the bridge near Wilmore?

One day in 1996 a young funKYcat sat about 100 feet away dressed as Santa Claus. We somehow got suckered into running the Santa booth that year and the original Santa was a drunk or something and would just randomly not show up. About 150 feet from there I also bought an "It must be the denim" t-shirt, a few months earlier.

You are on a barge heading north on the Mississippi for now, though you left Cairo for New Orleans. To the east is Missouri and to the west is KY. How is this possible?

They built the new bridge to take the traffic off the dam
A story about the dam, my dad and his brothers fished below the dam in the late 50's early 60's, one of my uncle's had to walk with a crutch, he could go up and down those rocks as good as anyone, he caught a 52lb flathead below the piers on a cane pole. If you know very much about that area below those piers there is a wall or drops off a little ways out, he caught it off that wall! I still have s picture of it, the catfish!

I just saw Scottsville, KY on the Weather Channel. I had to look that one up because I had never heard of it. Meanwhile, Reynolds Wolfe (TWC) is still in Paducah reporting on the rising Ohio.

Can’t recall the county but that’s Kentucky Bend created by the New Madrid earthquake. Always wanted to go just to say I’ve been.
I've thought the same. It ain't easy to get to. Don't know that anyone lives there anymore. Was one of the few KY cotton growing areas. Is there any grown in KY anymore?

Mostly in Fulton if there is any. Cotton was tried all over the state as the settlers from Virginia and North Carolina only knew cotton and Tobacco. It pretty much failed everywhere, with a small exception along the southern border and in the purchase.
