📰 In the news
Perseverance in every slice: Bowling Green’s Late-Nite Sweets N Treats was highlighted as a Black-owned business. After the 2021 tornadoes destroyed its original location, owner Conchetta Bell kept baking, crediting customers, community, and faith — read the full story.
Key community projects advance: Warren County Fiscal Court approved a first reading Feb. 26 to use bonds for Sugar Maple Square upgrades, a new sheriff’s office, and other emergency projects, without raising taxes — see what’s being funded.
Hands-on civic crash course: Bowling Green Neighborhood and Community Services’ annual Over 50 Citizen Academy returned this week, giving residents 50 and older a four-day look at public safety, city government, and stormwater management — read the full story.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Live theater, no fuss: Public Theatre of Kentucky launches Vanities this week and keeps the community energized year-round with sharp local productions and ways to get involved. It’s an easy night out with friends when you crave real drama… and a break from the endless scroll.
Classic dog cravings: Craving a griddled hot dog, or the chili-smothered kind? Lesa’s Dairy Dip delivers no-fuss flavor, plus thick shakes and soft-serve nostalgia. It’s easy, satisfying, and perfect for a midweek pick-me-up that doesn’t need a plan.
Where stories find you: Tucked inside The Capitol, Capitol Books is a used bookstore run by the Friends of Warren County Library. Slip in for a lunch-break wander or a rainy-day reset, browse the ever-changing shelves, and let an unexpected paperback choose you for the trip home.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
