Town & College/Link: WKU & Bowling Green

Mary Keltner has sent a link to a very laudatory New York Times Story about Western Kentucky redirecting the development of the business district in Downtown Bowling Green and the area around the campus: University's Partnership Reshapes Bowling Green, KY. If you are one who hasn't been in Downtown Bowling Green for sometime, the NYT Article describes a city even more exciting than ever. Downtown Bowling Green by the Louie B. Nunn Parkway is only slightly over an hour, slightly over 70 miles, from Downtown Columbia.
