Flealand - KY's Largest Indoor Flea Market

Flealand - KY's Largest Indoor Flea Market, Bowling Green

 TravellerMel Says:  HUGE indoor/outdoor flea market. The signs say 400 indoor booths, but there were a lot of empty stalls. Still, what was there was fine - like with any flea market, you have to dig thru some trash to find your treasures. Beware of vendors selling outdated food products - I...

Dont get Lost in this river., Bowling Green

 deaglos Says:  Lost River Cave is a wonderful site with great hikes and Buterflies.There is even a geocache to grab while your there. The tour to the cave and then in the cave is very well done, and worth it for both beginning cavers and experts alike. It was a popular Jesse James site, as...

The National Corvette Museum and Factory

The National Corvette Museum and Factory, Bowling Green

 KimberlyAnn Says:  At the National Corvette Museum you can see classic, in mint condition cars; pace cars, current day models, and one-of-a-kind prototypes that never went into production. There is a lot to see here, and I would allow at least 2 hours to visit this museum. I am not a big car...

 John195123 Says:  We rented a houseboat on Cumberland lake. That was great. Two families, plus friends, Sea Doos, Waverunners, a Yamaha Jet-boat, food, fun, and no oldies. It was a great trip, sitting in the hot tub on the roof of our boat as we drove. Sleeping quarters were tight as we were... 

National Corvette Museum

National Corvette Museum, Bowling Green

 sambarnett Says:  Dedicated to America's favorite sports car, the Corvette, nevermind that a sizeable chunk of the US population could not afford a Corvette, the National Corvette Museum features all things Corvette. Think I just used the word 'Corvette' too many times in that sentence?...

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store: Walking from the motel, Bowling Green

 grandmaR Says:  I'm not a big fan of Cracker Barrel, but if we didn't want to get back in the car and drive, we had a choice of only Waffle House or Cracker Barrel. It was quite crowded so I sat in the rocker by the fireplace while Bob waited for a table. They also have a somewhat tacky... 

The Cellar: Terrible Customer Service

The Cellar: Terrible Customer Service, Bowling Green

Local Customs  

Funeral Processions

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Cookie_Keith 4 reviews

In southern Kentucky, it is the custom to come to a complete stop when a funeral procession is in progress. Its a sign of respect for the dead. It use to be the custom through Kentucky but it is waning especially in the big cities.
