Talk:Bloomfield, Kentucky

Some personal impressions

A headstone in the Brown family graveyard on the outskirts of Bloomfield states that a family named Stone, hailing from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, settled near Bloomfield in 1768. That does not sit well with my understanding that the settlement of Kentucky began with John Harrod in 1774; I invite others to sort this out. In any event, it is entirely possible that Bloomfield is one of the oldest villages west of the Appalachians. One thing is certain: the farm land around Bloomfield is better than average for Kentucky.

The Browns of Louisville have owned the Stone house and farm for about a century now. Having spent a number of summer weekends there as a boy, I can attest that Bloomfield deserves a Harper Lee or a Barbara Kingsolver.

A key fact bearing on Bloomfield's future is that US 31E is now a divided highway from Louisville to Bardstown. Hence unless gasoline goes to $10/gallon or some such, Bloomfield has a promising future as a bedroom community.132.181.160.42 (talk) 02:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Also notable- Jerry Bruckheimer and his wife purchase land as soon as it is available for sale. Its good because it keeps big box stores out, giving Bloomfield a sense of place. However, one thing the local media won't talk about is the fact that the Bruckheimers are more than overzealous with their buying tactics.
