Frankfort is a nice place. Being able to view and walk around the beautiful Capitol is so peaceful! There are wonderful, charming diners such as Cliffside. Such a great experience! The people in Frankfort are friendly. The only downside to Frankfort at this moment is all of the road construction. It is not easy to navigate.
F'fort is not a suburb of Lexington. There is a growing group who've moved here for the better cost of living. I have met people from Louisiana, California, Vermont, and Chicago. They are amazed at the reasonable housing prices. Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky, and home to KSU (an HBC). The Capitol, and the Gov's mansion are historical buildings in "South Frankfort" where there are affordable historic homes (hardwood floors, pocket doors, stained glass windows, etc), but some still need to be restored. Frankfort is a river town. You can canoe, boat, & hike. We have summer concerts downtown, a few breweries, the KY History museum, a great coffee house... Light up Main Street fest at Christmas, an annual Pride fest, and other events with live music, food & beer trucks. There are plans to create more public spaces near the river. The city is grappling with its painful legacy of racism. Older residents may be conservative, but the middle-aged on down skew liberal.
People in Frankfort are snobs and think they are better then everyone.
The police in Frankfort don’t do anything about all the drug and criminal activity going on!
The the local governments are the worst, they are so backwards it is a joke they don’t make decisions based on what the hired employees or public want or recommend they base the votes on what friend gave them more money or what their uneducated buddy wants.
