West Side, Best Side for Food and Fun
Being from the West side of Owensboro, I barely go on Highway 54… and to be honest I don’t mind it at all. I love the city I’m from and I especially love the side that I’m from. I live three blocks from my school, and at most five minutes away from everywhere I want to go. Lately, there has been a lot of talk about how the new restaurants and stores will run the west side of the Owensboro completely out of business. I couldn’t disagree more… all you have to do is compare the two sides.
For starters… the best fast food chain in America is Chick-Fil-A, which is in comparison to 54’s Popeyes… yea, not much I have to say there. What about Drake’s? The brand new sports bar that has been absolutely full every night it’s been open… with thirteen dollar cheeseburgers. That’s outrageous! South Fredrica’s Buffalo Wild Wings has a great burger for eleven… maybe just a two dollar difference but when you’re ordering for multiple people with sides and drinks, it makes a bigger difference. There is quite a few more things that make this side better… The Healthpark is better than Planet Fitness. There’s a lot less traffic. Sam’s Club is better than Meijer. And the mall is on this side! Okay y’all win there. Anyway! Even with that side having Meijer and Cane’s, I’ll take this side every time.
But that may just be me. Everyone knows I’m opinionated, and I’m the only one cool enough that Mrs. Johnson lets me write in first person for Digital Devil. So, I decided to get some more opinions:
Addison Callis, (11) “Fredrica because that’s where I grew up”
Ella Bratcher, (10) “54 because the green belt allows me to get places easier and faster.”
Mary Frances Wikel, (11) “Fredrica because 54 is so confusing, I never know where to go”
