In 1993, after a search of communities from coast to coast, television producers and writers, Elaine Walker and her husband, Dorian, selected what they knew would be the perfect city in which to raise their young children, Erin and Evan.  In the summer of that year, they moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky with the hope of creating a better life for their family.  That move has exceeded their expectations, so much so that they have promoted their community and their state on such national television programs as America’s Castles and Restore America.
