Winchester's rural landscape, suburban amenities and small-town sense of community
Old Pine Grove is mostly comprised of farmland with small subdivisions built into it, but its location between Lexington and Winchester sets it apart from other rural areas. Situated along Interstate 64 and U.S. Route 60, residents can easily travel the 14 miles west to Lexington or the 6 miles east into downtown Winchester. The neighborhood's east end offers typical suburban shopping and dining with a mix of chain and local restaurants, as well as a large flea market and a movie theater. City Commissioner and vice mayor elect Kitty Strode moved to Winchester from Lexington nearly 50 years ago when she married and despite the changes in her life, she cannot imagine living anywhere else. "After I got divorced, my Lexington friends used to say, 'When are you going to move back to Lexington?' and I would say, 'Never!'" Strode goes on to explain her stance on living in Winchester, explaining that people look out for one another here, helping out when needed, and that the city government is committed to improving the community. "We have strong police and fire departments and great city employees," she says. "Some of them have been with us for 20 or 25 years. That speaks for itself, that people are loyal to the community."

Celebrating Winchester's history as the birthplace of beer cheese
Winchester is the birthplace of beer cheese, and the city celebrates this history every year with its Beer Cheese Festival. "Beer cheese is a big thing in Kentucky," Strode says. "We have a one-day festival with commercial and amateur vendors. It attracts 10 to 12 thousand people in a day–it's a pretty good crowd and a really nice addition to our community." Residents who miss the festival can still indulge throughout the year by exploring the city's Beer Cheese Trail. "The Beer Cheese Trail has all the restaurants that make beer cheese, and people can come and sample all of them," Strode says. Beer cheese enthusiasts can track their progress with the city's digital cheese log and earn rewards as they check restaurants off their lists.
