World Atlas Names Beattyville as One of the Eleven Kentucky Towns with Unforgettable Main Streets

According to World Atlas, a thriving Main Street (or main street, as the case may be) offers locals a place to gather and visitors a look at the personality of a community. While the actual “main” street might have a different name, it is a central district, often historic, and always creative. Old buildings, new life, and the realized dreams of small business owners, chefs, and artisans often pave the way to something bigger and better than the sum of its parts.
 
 World Atlas has named eleven Kentucky towns with unforgettable Main Streets, and Beattyville is one of them. It states, "Beattyville is just 20 minutes south of the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Park, making it an ideal place to recover from outdoor adventures while experiencing local flavor and supporting small businesses. Try Los Two Brothers for Mexican cuisine or stop by Brenda’s BBQ Smoke Shack for local barbecue. Nearby, the Bobcat Dairy Bar serves hand-dipped ice cream and boasts a secret goulash recipe that has been on the menu for more than 65 years. Each October, the Woolly Worm Festival is a true community event, with a parade, a car show, and a full weekend of music and family fun."
 
 World Atlas, also, goes on to say, "No matter where you travel, making a stop on Main Street and asking a local for a recommendation for the best of the best makes a visit something special and unforgettable. Visiting these 11 Kentucky towns with unforgettable main streets might lead you to a memorable meal, a vintage find, or a connection to a community that lasts long after the trip ends. And it is a way to support small businesses and invest in the work and dreams of creators and artisans, along with the visionaries who make sure Main Streets thrive for years to come."
 
 The other Kentucky towns that they named were Paducah, Pikeville, Covington, Harlan, Bardstown, La Grange, Franklin, London, Shelbyville, and Elizabethtown.
