We’ve had a busy couple days! THANK YOU to dear friends at Columbia Main Street and Visit Columbia, TN for hosting a Downtown site tour for us in Muletown USA! From the charm of its historic square to The Mulehouse venue, its new Arts District, The Factory development, and more - this is a cool place just south of Nashville you can’t miss! AND thank you to Downtown Franklin for your mentorship last year, so glad to have finally made it down to your beautiful Main Street for a visit. With retailers and restaurants galore, apartment living above its square, downtown walking tours every day, all surrounded by historic neighborhoods, Downtown Franklin sits directly between Columbia and Nashville. Make sure you stop there too!

Have you seen The BG 2050 Project yet? Stay tuned, much more coming soon. How do you envision BGKY in 25 years?

25 years isn't as long as you think it is: The year 2000 was just 25 years ago, and think of how much has changed for BG since then.

We've welcomed HUNDREDS of new restaurants, stores, businesses, schools, neighborhoods, and more in that short time alone.

Now, imagine how much BG will change over the next 25 years when our population is expected to DOUBLE in size. That's the equivalent of another entire city.

So, the question is, what could BG be in 25 years? This question is why we created the BG 2050 project, and it doesn't have just one answer.

We want to plan a future where Bowling Green is the best that it can be, and we need your voice to do it.

Attention ice cream lovers: As owner of this small, local, pretty seasonal business, I implore you to stop by our shop today and tomorrow for a scoop or two, or a pint or few. To be transparent, and I’m sure I won’t shock you with this, but January is rough. I try my best to trudge through, but slow season does cause a bit of anxiety. The weekdays are pretty slow, and we really count on the weekends in winter. But this weekend’s forecast is looking not so hot. Literally. So while you’re out restocking your bread/milk/eggs/toilet paper, I’m asking that you remember our little shop - stop by, bring your family, get some scoops, take home pints. It makes a real difference to this small, locally-owned business. And while you’re , pop over to my wine shop neighbor, and show him the love, too. Your support means everything to us. ❤️ I tried to capture the snow flurries with this scoop of Silent Nightcap on one of our homemade waffle cones, but they were just too fine and fast. I did get one, though! Zoom in on my fingers to see a sweet little snowflake that was hoping for a Meltdown!
