The name is a bit of a source of local mystery, with several conflicting stories accounting for how it came to be. Manufacturing is a major industry here, with General Motors being one of the largest players.

The second largest public university in the state is found in Bowling Green. Western Kentucky University is well over a hundred years old, and hosts a large student population of roughly 21,000 per year. The campus is considered to be extremely scenic, as its vantage point from on top of a hill offers stunning views of the Barren River Valley

When to Search

Housing in Bowling Green is available throughout most of the year. If you want to get the best prices, shop sometime between April and July. The lack of rental pressure in those months can sometimes make a deal become available. You will also have your pick of a larger number of apartments.

Staying in the Know

Let your landlords know that you're willing to make a commitment in Bowling Green. High availability like this shows that landlords will be eager to have people commit to longer leases. If you're willing to sign a year-lease, it will definitely help you secure accommodations faster.

Life in Bowling Green

Transportation

Within Bowling Green, the Bowling Green Public Transit system provides bus routes throughout the town. There is also a Greyhound station that connects the town to other local communities. There are also busses which serve the campus area, and which connect to lines that carry students to off-campus housing located in town.

Where to play

Sports fans in Bowling Green flock to Hilltopper games throughout the year. If you're a car lover, don't miss the Corvette Museum, or the GM factory where this American sports car legend is made. An amusement park called Beech Bend Park and Splash Lagoon makes for a great afternoon of family fun. Tidball's is the best local bar for good drinks and good music.

Attractions

Fans of classic sports cars all tend to head one place as soon as they roll into Bowling Green.

By allowing visitors to actually tour inside antique rail cars, you gain a unique perspective into what was once the most important means of transportation in our country.

Dining

For a night out with a Cajun twist and a good wine selection, head to 440 Main. If you just want a sandwich and a casual environment, the Home Café & Marketplace on Nashville Road is a very good bet. There are actually several restaurants that serve food that is strongly influenced by Louisiana cuisine. Tea Bayou is another well-respected local establishment that brings New Orleans flavours to Kentucky. It should come as no surprise that BBQ is one of the favourite local flavours, and Smokey Pig Bar-B-Q and Whitt’s Barbecue both fill that niche nicely.

Bars

For the best nachos in town along with a drink of your choosing, head to Double Dogs. They carry craft beer that is extremely good, while also maintaining a casual, sports-bar type atmosphere. That way, you can enjoy great food, great drink, and the game all at the same time. If you're looking to find a bar with some good live music, Crossroads Bar & Grill or Tidball’s are both good best. Reverend’s Bar & Grill is another establishment worth mentioning. While it’s nothing fancy, it’s the type of place where you can count on the food always being good, the beer always being cold, and the service always being excellent.

Culture

The aforementioned Wood Country Historical Center and Museum is an excellent place to learn about local history, while also taking in a regular program of rotating exhibits. The University is also a hotbed for cultural activities. The BGSU School of Art has a gallery that frequently hosts shows that are open for free to the public.

Events

The Cruisin’ for a Cure Car Shows are organized to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The show is an ongoing event throughout the spring and summer in the Bruster’s Ice Cream parking lot, and the efforts of the group have raised more than a half-million dollars to combat the disease. The four-wheeled theme carries over to the youngsters as well, as the city is home to the BB7T All-American Soap Box Derby each year. Another important event takes place at the beech Bend Raceway.

Penney, Sears, Macy’s and Dillard’s, so whatever you're looking for, you can probably find it between the department stores and the roughly 100 other merchants in the mall.
