And considering that the Knoxville city limits are relatively small, the metropolitan area (just say Knox County) is significantly larger than Lexington (who counts all of Fayette County in their population because they have a combined city/county government) and just slightly ahead of East Baton Rouge Parish.Saw that Zach said once that he thought that Tennessee was out in the country and was surprised....Knoxville is one of the larger cities in the SEC...Now Starkville... Blacksburg... Clemson...that's some countryside for ya lol View attachment 256371
Lexington and Fayette County have a combined city and county government and Lexington has no city limits within the county. So, they count the entire county in population statistics.Having been to both Knoxville and Lexington often, something just didn’t seem right about this stat. So I looked it up, and the reason for this difference is that the Knoxville metro area is about 104.4 square miles, while the Lexington metro area is 285.5 square miles. Less than double the population in almost 3X the geographic area. This makes much more sense considering how terribly spread out Lexington is, you cannot get to any of that city’s major attractions in less than 30 minutes from an interstate exit.

Both I75 and I64 run on the perimeter of the city. 75 to the east and 64 to the north, so getting to the southwest side of town is very difficult to do in decent time. New Circle Rd is the main thoroughfare through the county, but traffic throughout is a nightmare because of the lack of interstate access within town. Terribly designed city.
Dunno, but man oh man I feel that pain.My ex wife sent the kids an old phone she used a while ago. Dummy maybe didn't realize she left selfies of her and her boyfriend on it. One of the pics is her trying on big diamonds, dated from October 2018. Is there any way to find out if they've since married, and she's not telling me so she can keep getting Spousal Support payments? Once she remarries I stop paying. Or once she cohabitates I can petition to end it. Shes living with him but I don't know how to prove that since I dont' know where he lives, outside fo it just being in Maryland somewhere.
Getting pretty sick and tired of giving her $500 a month, while she contributes pays nothing in child support and pays nothing in the way of medical, clothing, food, shelter, etc.
I drive to and in Lexington at least 2-3 times a week and pick up and drop clients to DRs offices all over town. It is not hard to get around at all outside of rush hour. I actually like the way it is laid out like a wagon wheel. I can get you anywhere in metro Lexington in 15-20 mins outside of rush hour.Lexington and Fayette County have a combined city and county government and Lexington has no city limits within the county.

It wouldn't be bad if two of the spokes of that wagon wheel were I75 and I64. As it is, they are all, Versailles Rd, Harrodsburg Rd, Nicholasville Rd, Tates Creek Rd, Richmond Rd, Winchester Rd, etc, all the Lexington equivalent of Kingston Pike in Knoxville. Incessant red lights and lined up traffic. Rush hour is much worse, as you said. My in-laws live on the southwest side of town where Man-O-War provides a bit of relief, and it takes a minimum of 15 minutes, without bad traffic, to get to their house from any I75 exit. Interstate access does the city no good unless you live on the north or east side of town and never leave that side of town.I drive to and in Lexington at least 2-3 times a week and pick up and drop clients to DRs offices all over town.

I get paid to deliver people on time. That is your honest assessment, but so is mine.

JMO from someone who has travelled those roads frequently for 20 years.
Anywhere I’ve ever had to go in Lexington (Rupp, Commonwealth, all of the cities hospitals) has been no less than 15 red lights, 5 right turns, and 3 residential areas from the interstate.
I can get anywhere I want/need to go in Knoxville within 2 miles of an interstate exit, that’s much more my speed.
