BTS Kidnapped

These Hills/Brewer Fork/Route to Escape

Summary:

A short little lesson in the form of a visual presentation so that everyone can better understand exactly where our boys are. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, this is basically my home!

~oooOooo~

Notes:

I know that a lot of you noticed how limited and inconsistent I have been in updating and that is because my laptop died. Months ago. And I couldn't afford a new one. So I was limited to being able to update while I was at work, which is sad.

Today, however, is the best day ever. My fiancée gave me my Christmas present early.

A LAPTOP!!!!

He's a keeper!

Anyway, here is a random tidbit of information in celebration of hopefully being able to write more!!!

~oooOooo~

Dear Readers,

I think it is time that you know without a doubt, that the place where BTS is held, is real. In a little railroad town in the absolute middle of nowhere in rural south-eastern Kentucky, our seven angels are tucked safely into a 'holler' (as we say) where no one would even think to look for them.

Jackson, Kentucky is located deep in the Appalachian Mountains, and for the most part, is a place where families have been born, raised, and died, for hundreds of years. Literally EVERYONE is related in one way or another, and no one there much takes to outsiders. Jackson has grown a lot since I moved away but it is still the small home-town that I knew for almost half my life.

We have the normal sprinklings of fast food restaurants, a few banks, three gas stations, 3 funeral homes, doctors' offices, a very basic hospital and nursing home, probably a dozen schools, like 40 churches (yes, I'm serious), one massive park, and 4 traffic lights.

Jackson, Kentucky is the seat of Breathitt County (founded 1839) and was incorporated as a city by state legislature in 1843 when it was renamed from 'Breathitt Town" to "Jackson" after Andrew Jackson (United States President). Jackson's biggest claim to fame is that it is located in "Bloody Breathitt", a nickname the local area got from several ongoing feuds between families.

In 1913 much of Jackson burned down in a massive fire, in 2003 much of the stretch of road I lived on at Oakdale was demolished in a freak tornado (which at the time I did still live there but had been delayed getting home), and on Mother's Day 2009 a good portion of the outlying areas of Jackson were washed away in a flood.

In 2010 the population of Jackson was 2,231 people.

Jackson is home to several festivals, the largest and most well-known being the Breathitt County Honey Festival which takes place annually (since 1978) during the Labor Day Weekend. It begins on the Thursday before Labor Day and runs through Labor Day.

Jackson also has a Heritage Festival/Pig Out In The Park which is a grand 4th of July celebration that takes place every 4th of July since 2005.

Like most small towns Jackson has its own version of Downtown Christmas which sees various festivities and a parade to celebrate the season complete with Santa Claus.

Notable people from Jackson include MLB player , TV Producer (Magnum PI), 'Final Destination' screenwriter , and , country singer of Halfway to Hazard.
