Now that's Owensboro

After putting together tomorrow's post, I kind of came across a neat little epiphany.

Here's the backstory:

With the recent news that Owensboro can't come up with a new "Brand", I've been trying to help them out with a few suggestions.

1) Visit Owensboro, Future Ghost Town!
2) Owensboro! You Can't Get Here from There


Now here's one that dag-nabbit, actually makes a little sense:
(once again, feel free to use at no cost to the taxpayer)

Bluegrass, Burgoo, and Biotech - Now that's Owensboro!

We all know that the true home of Bluegrass is the 'boro. It's also the only place to get real Burgoo. And hey, we want to be a biotech hub so there you have it. We don't need no big-city marketers to tell us who we are.

Update - why this is on my brain at midnight I don't know but I came up with a whole slew of ideas on the theme of "Now that's Owensboro!"

So
1) Great schools, Great living, Great times - Now that's Owensboro!
I've lost the alliteration on the following but they work
How about tailoring it for some Nascar notables
2) Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Green, Jeremy Mayfield - Now that's Owensboro!
Maybe a little local flair
3) "It's Hot Don!" - Now that's Owensboro
An economic push - a little gangly but it may work
4) Emerging Ventures, Life Science Partnership, Greater Owensboro Venture Club - Now that's Owensboro!
A barbecue flair
5) Moonlite, Old Hickory, Bar-B-Que Festival - Now that's Owensboro!
Local trivia
6) World's Largest Sassafras Tree - Now that's Owensboro!

Of course the curmudgeon's take
7) Empty hotels, low-paying jobs, aging population - Now that's Owensboro!

I think you can get where I'm going with this. Ideas, comments, concerns or complaints are all welcome in the peanut gallery (comments section)
