History

The Tri-State Bucket List made a stop at McKenzie's at the Rockport Inn. Great food...and it's HAUNTED!

Meet some of our amazing local military veterans, we'll take a ride inside a Huey Helicopter and we'll look at the beauty of Owensboro from high in the sky! Watch the Videos Here!

What occupied Towne Square North in the strip mall's early years?

I was 11 years old and happened to be watching TV. In 1977, August 16th was still summer vacation. I wouldn't start sixth grade for another week and a half.

Did you know that the last total Solar Eclipse visible from Kentucky was August 1st, 1869. Greenville, Kentucky is giving YOU a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the Solar Eclipse with activities and giveaways galore! You'll want to be part of it all.

It seems like more stores are leaving Downtown Owensboro every month so we decided to see how many vacant buildings there are. It's startling to see this happening in our community.

With the recent news that Hobby Lobby (and Tuesday Morning) will be pulling up stakes and moving out OF Towne Square North and out TO Gateway Commons, I thought it would be interesting to find out when ANOTHER retailer vacated that particular strip mall.

When I was younger I lived near English Park for one summer.  We loved riding our bikes to the park and playing games in the giant picnic shelter!  No one I talk to remembers it being there but me!

Many changes have taken place over the years on the corner of 12th and Hickman Avenue.  Right under the Northwest parking lot of the Sportscenter sits a football shaped pool!

Chautauqua Park located directly across from Combest Pool on East Parrish Avenue has truly evolved over the years.  From Lagoon to Skate Park!

I'll drive by this old haunt, periodically, and remember how good Thruston Pizza & Subs was. I'll remember how it was part of a clue in an old Road War from years past and how it confused some folks who actually headed out to Thruston.

Veterans have proudly served our country and kept us safe, so why not do something special to honor them? There's a way you can do just that to show them appreciation or recognition and aren't they worth it? I say yes!
