People don’t realize it, but Owensboro is the most special place in the whole world. I don’t have to be at my house to feel that I’m at home. Everywhere you go, you meet friendly people. I travel a lot, but once I see the sign that says “Welcome to Owensboro” I don’t stress. I relax when we cross that wonderful little Blue Bridge.
When we cross the bridge I feel like I’m at home. When I check out at Walmart, Sam’s, Meijer, even Kroger, they greet me. They may not notice it, but their good deeds make it the wonderful city we live in. We don’t have a really big city, but big enough to always meet new people.
When I’m hungry I get speedy service, because everybody works hard. Out wonderful city is very happy and festive. For example, at Friday After Five, me and my family loved walking around, getting slushies, buying delicious popcorn, and playing on the playground. We also go all out on holidays like Fourth of July. Me and my family go to the Convention Center and jump on inflatables then get a table and watch the beautiful and sparkling fireworks.
Like I said before the reason Owensboro feels like home is because everyone includes you.
