📰 In the news
Where history takes wing: Aviation Heritage Park and Museum in Warren County features nine restored aircraft and around 60 galleries, highlighting local aviators like Willa Brown and astronaut Terry Wilcutt, plus hands-on STEM camps — read the full story.
Home-based support movement grows: BG Resource Connections Village is taking shape in Bowling Green, connecting seniors with rides, caregiving help, and online guidance to stay independent at home. Volunteers of all ages welcome — see how to get involved.
Community partners power workshops: Families can build digital skills at the Boys & Girls Club and receive a free laptop. The next session is set for March 25 with AT&T and Connected Nation — get all the details.
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
Quick bloom fix: Family-owned since 1902, Deemer Floral Co.is the go-to when your mantle, desk, or favorite human needs color. From everyday bouquets to sympathy pieces and plants, ordering is simple, and the designs feel thoughtful, never fussy.
Climb something this week: Forearms feeling fidgety? Redpoint Climbing Center offers bouldering, top-rope, and auto-belay routes, with the occasional yoga night. It’s beginner-friendly with a quick orientation, yet plenty spicy for seasoned climbers chasing moves and meeting partners.
Fresh-baked pie fix: Whether you’re team apple, blueberry, cherry, triple berry, or pecan, Mary’s Bakeshop bakes pies to order in Bowling Green, serving that made-at-home vibe without the sink full of dishes. Pickup and local delivery available, so weeknights feel special with a slice that tastes like it came from your own oven.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 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 →
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
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. Check out my favorite online options →
