What Retailer or Restaurant Should Come to Towne Square North?
Dave Spencer
Back in September, Mega Replay came to Owensboro and chose Towne Square North as their home. They joined Big Lots, Buffalo Wild Wings, Office Depot, Plato’s Closet, and many others in their new location. After losing Hobby Lobby to 54, Shoe Stop to Wesleyan Park Plaza, along with the closing of Books-A-Million, we wondered what would become of the shopping center. With the facelift complete, there s much hope for continued progress.
What restaurant or retailer would you like to see come to town? Maybe a HomeGoods store in the big space that Books-A-Million vacated? Or, make it a new Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews restaurant? A Dick s Sporting Goods maybe. A Sephora would be awesome where Tuesday Morning used to be. Or a Christian retailer, like LifeWay? So many good options to chose from. Who would like to open in Owensboro? Chime in!

It s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And, if you ve driven through any local neighborhood in the last couple of weeks, you can tell that it s nearly Christmas time in the city! All kinds of folks have decorated their homes for Christmas inside and out. When I was a kid, we loved climbing into the car, turning on some Christmas music and driving around town looking at all the Christmas lights. A lot of families still continue this tradition- through local neighborhoods and drive-thru events like Christmas at Panther Creek Park and Ritzy s Fantasy of Lights.
Well, this year, here at WBKR, we re doing something special. It s a blast from our radio past. We are bringing back Christmas Lights Touring Nights to provide you and your family the perfect soundtrack as you take in the sights, sounds and lights of Christmas.
