It’s a special place, for sure ❤️

I wish the schools were better there and more jobs in the area but this is amazing place to raise kids as far as the people! You won’t find many places that love kids and watch out for children like these mountains! I was raised here and raised my children here I will always love my mountain roots

Ok, you got me when I saw Chris Stapleton. He is incredibly talented.

Love the tour

I own a business in downtown Paintsville. Downtown actually, has 5 antique stores, restaurants, flower shops, boutiques, a renowned Professional Photographer, lawyers offices, coffee house (Chris actually shot his Dodge video there) frame shop, CBD store, monogram shop, bar/restaurant, dance studio, City Hall, SIPP Cinema, dentist, churches, eye doctor, funeral home, quilting shop, and a library. Just an FYI that people do come downtown more than ever. Lots of things to do and see. The downtown area is trying to grow.

Chris Stapleton was also valedictorian of his class in high school.. Kudos to him for his hands on work and for buying thousands of dollars of supplies , and his delivery of those supplies to the people in eastern Kentucky after the flooding. He and Tyler Childers both had benefit concerts for that area .

A beautiful town. Thanks so much for this awesome tour!!

Thank you, that was a very interesting tour. That flash back photo of old downtown Paintsville brought back a lot of memories when I saw the 5 and 10 cent store G. C. Murphy and the clothing store chain A. W. Cox. Everybody had to come to town to shop on Saturday. Melody, if I may paraphrase Loretta Lynn's song, "You got ice cream on your mind". Shane, I can't believe you didn't offer to stop and get her a "frozen custard". Keep up the good work.

So much talent coming out of that town! Two great singers, songwriters and people Shane, I heard you say you were from Tazewell County, Virginia. Will you two be doing a show on Burkes Garden, “God’s Thumbprint?” That has to be one of the most unique ecosystems in the entire US.

Paintsville was always a nice clean small town. It was once home of a minor league baseball team. Been there at the high school to watch their team play against the Prestonsburg Blackcats. Did some shopping, and bowling during my time there. Crystal Gayle was born at the Mayo Clinic there.

Enjoying your channel! I am from northeast Alabama, which is more similar to eastern Tennessee and Kentucky than it is the rest of Alabama. We also have a town called Paint Rock in Jackson County. It was named for the river that runs through it. The cliffs where it originally flowed into the Tennessee River were brightly colored. Just thought that was neat because of the Paint Lick discussion.

See you got lost a little bit. Great that you spotlight areas like this.

Ok the town of Paintsville and Pikesville like for folks to call it VULLE makes the like yall more.

The country music museum is there, race track out 201, the stock yard would be interesting to a lot of people that aren’t use to that way of trading. Many many things that are wonderful that I wish were talked about and shown! The pay lake is a great family fun place as well as the paintsville lake. So many more! I love Paintsville!

Good job although it seemed that there were a few deja vu moments in there! ;-). Great to see the two of you even if it was only for a few moments. On vids like this where you're focused on a community, throwing some map views and where it is gives us an idea of where it is relative to other places in the region. And you'd be able to say things like, "just an hour north of Bristol..." Keep up the good work you two...
