Highway 41 hops near Hopkinsville


Moving north in the section of Highway 41 that's in Kentucky, on the end-to-end Streetview trek along one of America's most famous and historic highways.



Pembroke, Kentucky: Highway 41 and Main Street




The Bar-B-Q Shack on the outskirts of Hopkinsville (next to the water tower).




Dick's Drive-In and BBQ (we find all the good places)




Downtown Hopkinsville, by Whistle Stop Donuts, which happens to be right next to the railroad tracks. Pan around the full 360 here, to see the rest of the street and the cute blue house across the street from the donut shop.




Now, I was going to mention, Hopkinsville is roughly 30 miles from the center of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.   This area is between the big and long TVA lakes named Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.  Camping, boating, fishing, hiking are all available.  Also has an elk & bison prairie and a planetarium!  So even though Hopkinsville and the area around it are mundane (though nice), the fun part is just a few miles to the west.

Here's what the lakes look like from space:
