We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
The land under Bowling Green was so unreliable it ate the millionth Corvette at 5:40 a.m., and the city's response was to build a gift shop around the hole. Everyone else's tourist trap is built on a hill. Yours is built on a cave that hadn't made up its mind.
Most towns have a landmark. Bowling Green has an exhibit about the worst day a car museum ever had, and the locals treat it like a moon landing. The geologists surveyed the ground before building, missed the cave entirely, and the whole town has run on that same level of confidence ever since.
Your town is named after a bowling green, a patch of grass for rolling wooden balls, which is a bold thing to build a civic identity on. The nickname "Park City" comes from a fountain square with a fountain built in 1872. That's the whole origin story: a lawn game, a fountain, and a town that peaked at lawn-based branding.
Bowling Green was proclaimed the Confederate capital of Kentucky, a provisional government with a governor and no actual state to govern. The Confederates then ran away and burned the bridges and supply depots on the way out. Your town hosted a government nobody could make work, then got left holding the ashes.
