They fudge a lot of geography, too; for instance, they seem to nip back and forth from Lexington to Harlan like it’s nothing when it’s a good three-hour drive. But on the other hand, the accents, clothes, and overall look and feel are remarkably dead on.

actually, I may have messed up the quote - it was “East of I-75 on Tates Creek Road” - and the scene in question was on a bridge (overlooking ‘a’ river).

a) Tates Creek road crosses the KY river by ferry - there is no bridge  
b) There is no part of Tates Creek road that is east of I-75 - in fact 90% of Lexington is West of I-75  
c) Tates Creek Road runs roughly down the center of lexington to the river.

Actually:

I think you mean Wynn, not Emmett.
