This is pretty cool! According to 2015 Niche Rankings, Owensboro ranks second as the best town to live in in Kentucky. I'm a little surprised to see which town ranked as the best.

Murray! Not Bowling Green (#4), not Paducah (#5), and I think that's interesting. Both Owensboro and Murray earned a Niche grade of B. In fact, according to the rankings, Wilmore (Jessamine County) earned the highest grade, A-. I've never heard of Wilmore. Central City ranked at #29. Our state capitol Frankfort, ranked at # 10. Bowling Green's population is about 2,000 more than Owensboro, but as you can see, size has nothing to do with it.

In case you haven't seen it, I'm re-posting this outstanding Visit Owensboro video, "Owensboro: The Perfect Recipe".
