It's a Butt-Ugly Building

Butt-ugly Used Car Warehouse

After driving past the new Martin Monstrosity Mega-Used Car Lot on Scottsville Road a few times, I can no longer ignore its ugliness.

Bowling Green has to have some code on the books to fix that thing because it is, well, butt ugly.

Where Have I Been?

OK. It's been a few months. So sue me.

Lots to talk about in and around BG - the Flood of '10, Commissioners in the Park, and politics, just to get started.

Since nobody has ever visited my blog, I know I'm not disappointing anybody by going slow here. So I'll come back and write some really interesting stuff later, I promise.

If somebody should stumble on this blog, how about leaving a comment?

I'll try to post again within the month. And it'll be interesting. Really.

Long Time Dormant

A few years back I had this great idea to blog about general happenings around Bowling Green, Kentucky. I see and hear a bunch of stuff, so I thought I'd spend a good bit of time spouting off right here in my own blog universe.

Oops.

I set it up, then forgot about it for a few years.

Maybe I'll do it now. Maybe not.

Either way, thanks for stopping by. If you come back again, maybe I'll have some good dirt up.
