Paducah, Kentucky has beautiful stone churches, court houses, and home.

This is the downtown in Paducah, old stores, antiques, brick sidewalks, lovely old town.

The town of Paducah, KY has a sea wall with murals painted on the town side of the murals, the murals are about the history of Paducah. The train is one of the many, I think about 45 of them. The Sea Wall was built after the 1937 flood, the river was 7 miles wide during that flood.....
