Manufacturing is a major industry here, with General Motors being one of the largest players.

The second largest public university in the state is found in Bowling Green. Western Kentucky University is well over a hundred years old, and hosts a large student population of roughly 21,000 per year. The campus is considered to be extremely scenic, as its vantage point from on top of a hill offers stunning views of the Barren River Valley
