Abstract	This meeting site guide for Lexington, Kentucky and the Bluegrass region around Lexington illustrates why the state of Kentucky and this region are excellent examples of how geography plays out on the land, how regions emerge, and how human events and processes, in the context of the physical environment, lead to differentiation and distinction, and long-term boundary maintenance. This guide also shows how and why the Inner Bluegrass' central location and excellent situation, in both Kentucky and the eastern United States, have recently become key reasons for businesses and services to locate in the region. The introduction (Richard Ulack) focuses on: (1) "Early Settlement of the Inner Bluegrass"; (2) "From the 1790s to Today"; and (3) "Inner Bluegrass Attractions." Chapter 1 titled "Creating the Bluegrass Environment" (John F. Watkins and Gary O'Dell) describes Kentucky's physical regions. Chapter 2, "Creating Places and Regions," includes the following: (1) "The Countryside" (Karl B. Raitz); (2) "The Region's Towns and Cities" (Richard Ulack); (3) "The Population of the Inner Bluegrass" (Richard Ulack); (4) "Bluegrass Culture" (Karl B. Raitz); and (5) "Lexington" (Richard Schein). Chapter 3, "Interactions and Connections," has the following: (1) "Lexington as Center for Transportation, Communications, and Information" (Stanley D. Brunn); (2) "Modern Lexington as Regional Center" (Richard Schein); (3) "Horse Breeding and Racing" (Karl B. Raitz); and (4) "Automobiles and the Japanese Connection: Toyota in Kentucky" (Susan Roberts). Chapter 4, "Learning Activities" (Nijel Clayton; Kate Greer Fischer), contains the following: (1) "Kentucky's Physical Landscapes"; (2) "Tobacco: King or Curse?" (3) "Studying Land Use through City Directories"; (4) "Black Settlement Patterns in the Bluegrass"; (5) "The Horse Industry in Kentucky"; and (6) "On the Road Again...." Maps, tables, and figures accompany the text." Contains 22 references. (EH)
