There is no denying that Bowling Green is a college town. For three weeks, the College Heights Herald asked WKU students, faculty and staff to vote — either online or in our paper edition — for their local favorites in our first-ever Best of the Hill contest.

We had great success with the contest, with 921 WKU students, faculty and staff voting in 50

categories. We’ve tallied the votes and are excited to announce the results.

The Herald’s Best of the Hill special section recognizes those businesses, places and services the WKU community voted the best. Our goal is for this annual contest and special section to become the guide for WKU when shopping, dining and enjoying the Bowling Green community.

Brand name and designer fashions for up to 60 percent off department store prices - every single day. Unlike department stores that buy seasonally, T.J. Maxx has thousands of fresh items delivered to their stores every week. So, the best shopping strategy is to pop in often.

Forever 21 is a chain of clothing retailers that offers fashion and accessories for young women and men. The Bowling Green location currently only sells women's clothing. The company’s made-in-the-USA merchandise is one of its sales points. Forever 21’s merchandise does not have uniform specifications, patterns or even sizes; these details vary by supplier. However, in a sense, this creates a certain treasure-hunt type of enjoy-ment for shoppers.

The WKU Store is located on the third floor of Downing University Center on WKU's main campus. Additional store locations are on the WKU Glasgow Campus, WKU South Campus and WKU Owensboro Campus. The WKU Store is a full-service bookstore. They carry a wide range of WKU sportswear and souvenirs, as well as new and used textbooks, general course supplies, art supplies and computer software.

Shenanigans Wine & Spirits differs from any other liquor store. It offers a huge wine and spirits selection, as well as an excellent selection of macro, micro and imported beer. They are a favorite of WKU students with their competitive prices, upbeat atmosphere and friendly staff. They will also special order you anything not in stock and call you when it comes in.
