Anyone else who grew up in Winchester heard crazy rumors about the KY River? Specifically the Boonesborough area? Was near there today and unlocked some core memories of missing people, monster fish, sunken cars, etc.

My grandmother told us there was a monster fish in there the size of a car when we were kids. What crazy things have you heard?

So I wanted to share that Red Wing Liquor in town offers 10% off to veterans 7 days a week, and teachers, nurses, and first responders on Thursdays & Fridays. Just have to show the relevant ID.

My mom works there, and they're very happy to support those who serve the community in very stressful jobs. My wife's a teacher, so I'm thoroughly enjoying it as well.

It's covers liquor, wine, and seltzers, but not beer since the profit margins on beer are so low that the discount would actually take it below cost, and they won't do the limited-release bourbons sadly, but otherwise I'm getting all of my booze at a discount.

Does anyone know anything the Walker house? I’ve heard they are moving a residential sober living house in my neighborhood and I’m concerned after googling the owners name. Apparently earlier this year he was arrested because while was on parole the officer found AR15s, meth pipes and cash.

Just curious if anyone knows anything about this guy. He was exonerated (I think) from the charges but I’m curious to know more. Thanks all!

Hi everyone, I moved to Winchester summer of 2023. Started growing my hair out then so as you may know I am pretty shaggy by now. I want to keep growing out but I am in need of a trim but I want to go somewhere that knows what they are doing.

Any of you dudes out there with long hair have a good barber that is EXPERIENCED with long hair?

Look - political opinions, especially these days, are like butts: Everyone has one, and they all stink.

We are not having political hissy fits in this community period.

I will delete them, and I will block you from the community.

It's that simple.

Please do not suffer under the delusion that this is a democracy.

No joke. A pet Boa is on the loose around Stratford Glen and last seen on Hood.

Not new news, has been on the loose for about 3 days now. See images and phone number below. Its reported to be ~8-10 ft in length. Shouldn't be to hard to recognize.

Owner dearly wants it back, worried it may be destroyed, despite having a gentle temperament.

Ive recently moved to winchester. I know very few people and have nothing to do after work in the evenings, that being said, i enjoy billards even though i am horrible?

They've been here in Win for a while, but have moved into their new home downstairs, front and center, on Main Street!

There's always a nice crowd there, and they seem to have something going on almost every night!

I'm more of a tabletop gamer myself, but I know these games are STILL wildly popular!

Here's their Facebook page: https://en-gb.facebook.com/hsctcg/

Go support them!

I (foolishly) had high hopes for some new food options going in there. A Jersey Mikes, Penn Station, Greek or Indian restaurant, pretty much anything. I pass by them today and the main big building has a Sir Pizza sign. Sir fucking Pizza, possibly the worst pizza I’ve ever had, is moving from a shitty building to a brand new building. I’m sure the rest of the buildings will be nothing exciting (paint store, law/real estate firm, dollar tree, bank, car wash, etc). This town refuses to move forward and continues to lag behind other towns surrounding Lexington.

Who remembers this on an overpass on I-64 and does anyone have any backstory?

Did anyone actually Win with Willard?

Hey everyone, me and my wife are currently looking for a place around Winchester and would like some do’s and do not’s about apartments around town. Recommendations, warnings, best areas, etc.. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any insights into the fireworks like boom going off every 5-15 minutes? Someone in Reddit Lexington hearing it as well.

I'm on Verizon and can barely get phone calls and texts with just a sliver of reception. Does anyone get decent service with their provider here? I'm not far off Main street.

I’m personally partial to the blackberry but thought some people would like to know!

Facebook finally came through positively to remind me of this photo.

When I was in high school, I noticed this oddity when subscribing to Rolling Stone magazine.

Someone in Winchester was trafficking Russian brides.

Discuss.

If anyone has any old Rolling Stone Magazines laying around from around 2000; please find, photograph, and verify my claim there was a PO box in Winchester, KY offering a Russian Bride catalog in the back ads.

I'm trying to dig through my photo archives, but I'm trying to crowdsource this truth and joke about it.

It is real.

I've got about 0.5 acre.

Yeah, I have to start being an adult and thinking about my imminent demise and giving away my millions to my cat or something, so I need a good lawyer who can help with wills, Power of Attorney, Estate Planning, etc. that doesn't charge an arm and/or a leg.

Any recommendations?

Just wanted to post about the new-ish local Humanist Group in Winchester. Group meets at the Arby’s once monthly and group meeting times are posted in the newspaper for those interested. Super informal. Welcoming to all.

EDIT: meetings are held in the community room at the public library from now on.

I just signed up to take my HAM Radio Technician Test in April, and I thought that others might be interested in HAM Radio as well, so here's the goodies:

Winchester/Clark County HAM Radio Club Info: https://groups.io/g/W4PRC

(note that they also have a Facebook page, info at the link above, and they meet monthly at the Golden Corral on By Pass Road)

Learning more about HAM Radio, studying for the test and registering for the test, I went through this site: https://hamstudy.org/

If you're a local HAM, let us know!

Anyone know what the deal is with the cop who drives 10 mph through town? Guy just cruises up and down the bypass going a cool 10-15 mph. Just curious why he does the things he does

Preface by saying: I’ve lived in/around Lexington my whole life, just moved to Winchester 6 months ago and the lack of food is brutal. Even compared to Georgetown (similar population and proximity to Lexington), the food options are severely lacking. There’s a ton of plots on the bypass open and I just keep hoping for something good. Unfortunately, the last new thing to pop up was - you guessed it - another car wash.

In the 6 months we’ve lived here, I think we’ve eaten at every restaurant/fast food in town. Lomas is good, engine house is solid, trattoria is okay. The Mexican is good but do we need 7 Mexican restaurants? The Asian options are pretty good. Honestly we eat out at Abettor a lot because good cheap beer and Bells on Wheels has fantastic burgers. Why are there no American joints? Virtually every small town in the US has a Cracker Barrel at least.

Fast food: the cookout was a welcome addition. The Popeyes is good but strange over other options like Lee’s, Canes, CFA. Why is there no sub/sandwich place outside of the typical Subway and Jimmy John’s? Can we not get a Penn Station or Jersey Mike’s?

My proposition to fix Winchester’s food issue with 4 restaurants:

1. CFA/Canes. Just one of these would completely eliminate the need to drive to Lex. You can’t tell me a CFA wouldn’t stay busy here.

2. Texas Roadhouse. How there is no steakhouse in this town is mind boggling. Even Mt.Sterling has a Cattlemen’s. There is zero excuse for Applebees to be the only option for an American chain meal (I’m not counting Golden Corral lol). Texas is affordable and has a great menu. It would stay packed here.

3.Penn Station/Jersey Mike’s/local sandwich joint. These speak for themselves, we need more sandwiches places.

4. Indian restaurant. I’m aware there was one and it closed. But for this town to not have a single Indian restaurant is unbelievable. A good, affordable Indian restaurant should be able to thrive here.

Final thoughts: I do want to say I am a big proponent of local business and I wouldn’t want to hurt any local small business with any of these options. Any of my suggestions (outside of the fast food) could be substituted with a local equivalent and I’d be just as happy. I’m tired of having to drive to Lexington to get a new meal or a decent steak. Winchester should not be this far behind Georgetown and definitely not Mt.Sterling. We don’t need more banks and car washes.

I am an audio book addict, and using Hoopla on my phone (there's apps for iPhone and Android) allows me to check them out, download them to my phone and take them on the go with me!

I also love me some comic books and graphic novels, so I read those on my iPad, again, with the Hoopla app.

All you need to sign up for the app (or website) is a library card and it's ALL FREE!

Movies, TV shows, audio books, graphic novels, comic books, ebooks, whatever your little heart might desire!

/r/True_Kentucky/ is a regional sub, and I would highly encourage ya'll to check it out. While I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I feel that it offers an alternative to the usual KY sub. I've watched over the past couple of years as the main KY sub has banned people right and left for posting something the moderators personally disagreed with... and I finally got banned recently as well. I posted and commented on the old KY sub quite frequently, and I enjoyed the community, but the mods there are hostile. I found true_kentucky and honestly, it has most of the same good qualities that I liked about the old KY sub, just without the risk of suddenly getting banned because the mods didn't agree with your political opinion on something.

KY has an extremely diverse political landscape, and it would be sad to just have one state sub where half the state's posts and comments get deleted out of spite. I'm not affiliated with /r/True_Kentucky/ - I don't mod there, and I only recently joined... But since being made a target on the old KY sub, I've made it a mission to show more people the alternative in case they find themselves more at home in that sub as well.
