The catch phrase was "Owensboro Ranks Third." That's always nice, especially if the sample is a large one. So we'll take third best in Kentucky in...

...auto insurance rates.

Yep, Owensboro's auto insurance rates slide right in behind Covington and Lexington at $1176 per average annual premium. That represents a 19% decrease versus the state average.

I found the article a little amusing in its attempts to juice up an admittedly dry topic with Johnny Depp and bourbon references--two subjects that hardly have any effect on our auto insurance rates.

Hey, I think it's great.

Last year when I went shopping for cheaper auto insurance--and don't EVER do that online or the phone calls from all over will NEVER stop; I still get them--I found excellent ones right here in Owensboro.

Take THAT JoAnne in Green Bay!
