Ray Lackey spends 40 hours a work working on ways to improve the look of Bowling Green.

Right now, the Executive Director of "Operation Pride" is concentrating on one project making it easier to look around Bowling Green... using a dry erase board.

"We've started putting the top 10 eyesores of the city of Bowling Green and Warren County on this board," says Lackey

Since the group decided to bring back the "eyesore" board, its already had several complaints of buildings in need of help, such as the old "Stephenson Auto Sales" lot.

"We are going to help the city of Bowling Green and Warren County to eradicate these eyesores. Once we remove one, we're just going to keep adding another and so on until we get it done," he notes.

"So we're identifying some places that really are not great-looking and we want to clean them up so that they can better represent that we want bowling green to be," adds Bowling Green Mayor, Elaine Walker.

"Pride" is also turning its attention to graffiti within the county.

Along with volunteers from the Kelly Autism Center, Bellewood Home For Children, and local law enforcement... the plan to cut out the "artwork" by "Reading it, Reporting it, and Removing it".

"They're going out and they're recording this graffiti. They're taking photos of it," says Lackey.

He reminds that all this hard work to beautify Bowling Green and Warren County isn't just for aesthetic purposes.

"We need to make sure that Bowling Green-Warren County, when people come to visit us, they see that we are a clean community. That we are doing things to make sure we're attracting businesses and attracting individuals to come work and live."

For the past couple of years, "Operation Pride" has been in charge of cultivating the Cemetery Road corridor into Bowling Green.

Currently, it is working on fixing up the Scottsville Road corridor into town.
