Wikipedia describes Podunk as – a term used in the United States to represent an insignificant place.
While Merriam-Webster defined it as – a small, unimportant, and isolated town.
And as I continued to research, I found a comment that said – No, Podunk, KY is not a real place! Podunk means a small isolated town, region, or place that is regarded as unimportant.
So, does it really exist?! 🙂
You tell me!!! ha ha
The hubby exclaimed “damn, I always thought it’s just a joke! It really does exist!!!”
If you could only see his expression… You would also laugh. ha ha
The picture below made us laugh for a long time…
At Podunk, that’s what a congested area means. ha ha ha… Gee, congestion is not like that in our city, believe me. ha ha
Podunk , Kentucky is along Highway 381 near the border of Tennessee and Kentucky.
True, it is isolated. But I am sure it is not insignificant. To the few people that live there, at least. I saw about 10 houses nearby. Seriously. 🙂
There is nothing there, except hay farms. Miles and miles of it. But I found it beautiful, specially with their fall foliage.

The boundary of Tennessee 89 and Kentucky 381.
So now we know, Podunk is real…. 🙂 Just follow that road and you will find it nearby…
Happy traveling everyone. 🙂
