As you drive around Lexington, you find a city that repects the Lord and for the most part is closed on Sundays, Portland on the other hand treats Sunday like any other day.
The biggest differance is that Lexington Kentucky is still, for the most part, a moral city, Portland is a city that celebrates and rewards things liek homosexuality with laws, special insurane benifits, etc.
What you say is true; most of the shops in town are closed on Sunday (except the soulless big chain stores like Wal-Mart) and for the most part people here have their heads on straight. We went for Bush in the 2000 election by a comfortable margin. There may be a shift here, though. The homosexual community here keeps getting stronger, and there is an initiative to extend health insurance benefits to homosexual partners of city employees. I hope our city passes this test of character.
