Can an influx of artists polish a historic Kentucky neighborhood?
"To buy a rambling old house, renovate it, and use it as a studio, gallery, and family homethats a dream many artists share.

The small city of Paducah, Ky., has many old properties in need of fixing up, and residents there say they might as well be fixed up by artists."
