📰 Most-clicked stories this week
Style that supports healing: Bowling Green therapist Ashley Vicari created the Community Closet, a free, welcoming space where local women can try on items and find support, confidence, and connection beyond the therapy room — see how it fosters healing.
Know before you park: Downtown Bowling Green has 1,200 free parking spaces near attractions, but many lots behind buildings are private. Check signs because unauthorized cars may be towed and the city doesn’t enforce — get the downtown parking basics.
All aboard for games: Historic Railpark and Train Museum brings back its sixth annual Sip and Putt this month, with mini golf inside a railcar plus food and local fun in Bowling Green — 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.

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Twirl-worthy comfort ahead: On nights when pasta beats laundry, Danny’s Italian delivers silky tagliatelle Bolognese, crisp arancini, and wood-fired goodness that turns a weeknight into a small celebration. Cozy corners, clinking plates, and sauce that sets the mood… simple, twirlable comfort without the fuss.
Movie night, sorted: The Capitol keeps downtown Bowling Green buzzing with classics, indie discoveries, and community screenings, plus comfy seats, crisp sound, and sensibly priced snacks. Movie night stays easy, affordable, and worth leaving the couch for… plans you might actually keep.
Wagyu burger mood: When the craving hits, Burger & Bowl keeps it simple and seriously good, with scratch-cooked KY Proud ingredients and juicy American Wagyu Prime Grind from Black Hawk Farms. Prefer lighter? The crisp bowls deliver virtue without boredom, an easy weeknight staple.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
