re: #163 wheat-dogg

I forgot to mention that E-town, as we call it, is becoming slowly more diverse demographically. Aside from a growing population of Hispanic folks, there are also more Muslims, mostly immigrants, I think. I’ve seen women in hijab here and there in town shopping, and no one seems to bat an eye. And South Asians have always been around. (My MD was Indian and had lived in Kentucky for 30 years or more.) E-town and Hardin County are about 45 minutes south of Louisville, and suburban sprawl is gradually reaching through Bullitt County to the south as Bullitt and Hardin farmers sell off their land to real estate developers. Change is going to come to E-town whether Ms Spratt wants it or not.

When I moved to Frankfort 28 years ago there was one Tex-Mex restaurant run by whites (and it wasn’t very good). Now there are a bunch of Mexican and Chinese restaurants, a new Honduran restaurant, and most of the convenience stores are now operated by South Asians. Immigration has definitely made Frankfort a better place.
