One of the Largest Fast Food Centers in America (among city features)

 

by Dujuan T.

My hometown is very unique. It’s the national quilt city and one of the largest fast food centers in America. The population is only about 20 thousand, but it’s what I call a little big city. It’s the home of a Vice President, celebrities, athletes, and the youngest politician in Kentucky history (Me).

The community is the best part of Paducah and its RICH history. It’s home to Hotel Metropolitan, a hotel that lodged black legends during the Civil Rights movement. Muhammad Ali, Ike and Tina Tuner, Louis Armstrong and MANY more.

Its got a small town presence but at the heart, its a big city!
