Life in Florence

Florence, Kentucky is a city of approximately 30,000 located in Boone County, Kentucky. The area now known as Florence was originally called "Crossroads" because several roads from various parts of Kentucky converged there. It was originally founded in the early 1820s, and quickly grew, especially as the country began to expand westward, becoming a major hub for trade and commerce. Florence is well-known for a large water tower with a sign on it that simply reads "Florence Y'all." It has become something of a local landmark, and a source of pride among residents. The tower was built in the 1970s, and originally read "Florence Mall," to advertise a new mall that was being built. However, the mall took slightly longer to build than expected, and highway regulations prohibited advertisements for an establishment that didn't exist, so they had to change it in a very short time. The city simply painted over the vertical lines in the letter "M" to make a "Y" and added the apostrophe. The plan was to change it back when the mall was finished, but residents liked it enough that the city decided to keep it. If you live in the Florence, Kentucky area, and need a good attorney, you can probably find one. Florence, Kentucky lawyers are ready to handle whatever legal problem you might present them with.
