Yeah, I know how he feels about Hot Topic. It's been taken over by the horrible emo scene that has run rampant amongst teenagers. There's always Cosmic, though, which is a locally owned goth/punk/skater clothing store.

Hmmm....not sure about bars or clubs that are goth specific (there used to be two that were extremely goth friendly but they just tore down that block and I assume these places will relocate). So long as you stay out of the country bars every where else is accepting of the look. Tolly Ho is the after midnight goth hangout (a 24 hour restaurant).

Lexington Cemetery was the first public cemetery in Kentucky, opened in 1849, and is the 2nd largest cemetery in our state. It is absolutely gorgeous! You can see photo galleries here: http://lexcem.org/index.cfm/cemeteryart.html

And yes, the leaves change in the fall. Normally in October. When do you think you'll be visiting?

If you'll tell me a little more about your interests I can maybe provide more info for you. And I don't mind at all to answer questions. Glad I could be of some help!

Haha, Lexington is a college town, so even if the rest of the state is "red" Lexington is not. There's a lot to do here for all types of people...you just have to look for it. I guess it just depends on what kind of job he's trying to get. I see tattooed, pierced people working at Walmart, Taco Bell, that kind of place but I have no idea about the corporate world. Then there are the places that will always hire people with that look - bars, nightclubs and strip clubs (we have lots of all three). And there's always Hot Topic! I'll be glad to answer any other questions you might have.

That's great about the Spooky Town landscape! I didn't put all the details in my post so if you need help with any of it just drop me a line and I'll fill you in on what I did.
