A serious suggestion - why not "Eastern Ky meets Eastern Europe" ? That's the blend of cultures that I grew up with in Meadowlawn, and the blend that built Armco and that still adds so much to Middletown today. Obviously not all inclusive you could do a whole series to celebrate an amazingly diverse city - Africa, the Mediterranean, etc. It's a starting point, and something to build on.
