Why Frankfort, Kentucky might be annoying:

    It is nowhere near the population of fellow Kentuckian cities, Louisville and Lexington.
    It was founded by a guy who tried to sell Kentucky to Spain.
    Its first two statehouses were destroyed by fire.
    A governor candidate, William Goebel, was assassinated as he was entering its State House. Kentucky's Secretary of State was later convicted of conspiracy to commit murder (1900).
    It is home to a candy factory that specializes in 'bourbon balls.'
    It is one syllable short of a frankfurter.

Why Frankfort, Kentucky might not be annoying:

    Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house here.
    It hosts an annual bluegrass music festival.
    It's within an hour driving distance from Louisville and Lexington.
    Its Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial is unique in that during the anniversary of a soldier's death, the tip of a sundial's shadow touches his or her name on the ground.
