Scenic Cumberland Co., KY: The Alpine Motel neon sign



2012-07-16 - 700 Hill Street, Burkesville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith, The Big Dawg, Campbellsville, KY. Bringing back memories of yesteryear - This sign is a treasured memory for travelers from all over, for sure those of us who still love to find classic neon signs, intact, which the owners have wisely left in place. It's at the entrance to an accommodations complex with one of the most breathtaking views in America - of the county seat of Cumberland County, Burkesville (Kentucky's Best Kept Secret), the Cumberland River Valley, Kentucky 90 East, and the mansions on the hill across the Cumberland River. Burkesville itself can be photographed - now by appointment or by registered guests only - with details of North and South Main Street and Upper River Road and Hill Street, with detail which rivals satellite pictures. A slight misnomer, at least a huge understatement, is the name of "Hill Street," which might more accurately be called "Vertical Climb Street." Its twists and curves keep drivers on alert! CM, Photo by Larry Smith, The Big Dawg, 99.9 FM radio, Campbellsville, KY, and The WAVE, 92.7 FM Columbia/Russell Springs, KY, and admittedly enthralled captive of all things Cumberland County, KY. If you go The sign and Cumberland County and The Rest of the World will be closer together after today, Monday, July 16, 2012, as Clicking on Readmore shows.
