the kentucky side and the cincinatti side form an interestingly coherent cultural enclave. the area is historically populated by german catholic immigrants. in kentucky, they say "northern kentucky" to refer to the three counties next to cincinatti because of this. weird stuff. also a lot of appalachian culture. woke cincinatti actually used to be a place where it was illegal to call someone a hillbilly.
Lol, we know some people from the east side of KY that referred to this area as "northern kentucky," didn't realize how ubiquitous that was.
Reminds me of Arkansas - folks around there refer to NW Arkansas to refer to the, presumably, more progressive/different part of the state.
i've also found that people in kentucky describe where they're from in terms of counties, instead of city or town names. tripped me out when i first encountered it.
