Heads up for pet parents: An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.*

New leader for early learners: Afton Proffitt has been named BGISD’s next Preschool Principal, overseeing Itty Bitty Purples classrooms at T.C. Cherry, Parker-Bennett-Curry, and the Bowling Green Learning Center. Her role begins July 1 -- learn what she'll oversee.

Decades of care continue: Sheldon’s Express Pharmacy will open its 10th location in north Warren County soon. The family-run chain plans expanded testing and care services on Louisville Road near Priceless -- read the full story.

Potential bus system shakeup: Bowling Green-Warren County planners issued an RFP for a transit plan that could merge GoBG and Topper Transit. It will study routes, ridership, and upgrades. Proposals are due May 15 -- get all the details.

The bill everyone over 50 should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half — this free comparison tool makes it easy.*

Retirees are making moves: After gold's best year in nearly five decades, more folks than ever are moving part of their savings into precious metals. Not all of it... just enough to hedge against inflation. AHG put together a free guide that explains how it works -- grab your copy here.*

Sports bar, but better: Pub by Novo gives the usual wing-and-beer routine a glow up, with house-smoked wings, hand-tossed pizzas, and craft cocktails that actually taste like weekend. Put it on your this-week lineup for an easy catch-up or post-work unwind, right here in Bowling Green.

Pho fix, unlocked: Craving a proper slurp? At Tsunami, rich, aromatic pho awaits... try the P5 dac biet. Easy vermicelli and rice plates round it out, so weeknights feel like a win without crossing town or dirtying more dishes.

Find your next grail: If your wardrobe needs a shot of personality, Vette City Vintage keeps the good stuff rotating, from lived-in tees and cozy sweatshirts to statement jackets and jerseys. Pop in, hunt a little, leave feeling like you outsmarted the mall.

The slower you walk, the more it works: Tai Chi walking is trending online. Turns out it's centuries old — slow deliberate steps, paced breath, attention on the body. Thirty minutes a day burns fat, lifts your mood, and builds balance. No gym, no treadmill, no pounding on the joints. Take the quick quiz to see if it fits, then use code BASELOCAL for a discount on the coaching plan. *See how it works →

Your homeowners insurance has a blind spot: It covers your house if a tree falls on it. It doesn’t cover your furnace when it quits in January, your AC when it dies in July, or your water heater when it starts leaking on a Tuesday. Those are all classified as "normal wear and tear," and they're 100% on you. American Home Shield can help fill that gap for ~$1/day (even if your appliances and systems are really old).*See what it covers →

Selling your house doesn't have to take months: If you need to sell quickly — because you're downsizing, relocating, or just ready to close this chapter — Liz helps seniors sell their houses fast. As-is. No repairs, no showings, no drawn-out back-and-forth. You pick the closing date. *See how it works →

Unknown-number calls aren't random: Scammers don't just pick numbers out of a hat. They pay data brokers a few bucks and get everything they need to harass you, trick you, rob you, or steal your identity outright. Incogni removes all of your personal info from these data broker sites and keeps an eye out to make sure it stays gone for good. *Get protected →

For women who've been feeling off for years: The fatigue, the weight creeping up, the mood swings, the sleep that won't hold. Turns out most of those "it's just aging" problems are actually caused by hormones, and proper HRT can get you back to feeling like yourself. The catch? You can't get it without a full hormone panel and a doctor who understands what those numbers mean. Most women never get either, but Hone Health gives you both. *See how it works →
