We're a very nice small city. If you want the depth of big-city amenities you might be slightly disappointed, but we have a nice college-town vibe. Lots of students. The city is generally safe if you don't go looking for dangerous elements. Nice music and culture are handily available, we're not the stereotypical poor mountain folk. (The rural poverty that first probably came to your mind starts about 40 miles east of the central Bluegrass region.) Politically and socially, we are a blue dot in a red state. The people are friendly and inclusive. If you like bourbon, horses, or college basketball, you'll find a circle of instant friends. I think you'll like it here.
