Students from the GHS Scottie channel traveled to Glasgow’s local ice cream shop, the Creamery. They tried and rated different ice cream flavors along with zingers. Our interviewer Abigail Depp  tried a vanilla bean and strawberry mix. “It's honestly good, I like it a lot,” stated Depp. We also interviewed Emma Burton, an employee that has worked at the creamery for around a year. Burton explains her favorite part of the job which is getting to know the community and interacting with its members. 

The creamery has gained staggering attention within the Glasgow community. It’s a family operated small business established in 2023. From hand-crafted ice cream to their exceptional exclusive zinger energy drinks, the Glasgow city Creamery alongside its sister business Yancys always provides top quality products for its consumers.

“Regarding food the Derby is a 10/10 Acai Bowl” says Brooking. As far as ice cream, “One scoop of vanilla bean and one scoop of strawberry ice cream is a great ice cream combination” says Depp. For the Zingers, “Blue raspberry strawberry coconut is my favourite” says Burton, a one year employee at the Creamery.

National Love Your Pet Day emerged in the early 2000’s, for pet owners to show extra appreciation to their pets. As National Love Your Pet Day is approaching, GHS freshman, Jose Sanchez asked GHS students about their furry friends at home. JP Pitcock, a junior, mentioned that he had 2 dogs and a parrot. He loves his dogs because they are very cuddly and love to play.  Similarly, many students around Glasgow High School have dogs as pets and love spending time with them. 

As National Love Your Pet Day is coming up, remember that you can always give a shelter animal a loving home! Barren River Animal Welfare Association, also known as BRAWA, is the community animal shelter in Barren County, Kentucky. If interested in a new pet, you can adopt a cat, dog, bunny, etc. to give them a loving home. Glasgow High School’s Student Y Club will be taking up donations for BRAWA this month.

Starbucks is the largest corporate coffee chain currently in the world. With around 38,027 locations nationally, Starbucks dominates the Coffee Industry. For Starbucks lovers in Glasgow Ky, Barren county will be establishing their first Starbucks alongside Larry Glass. Opening in early june of 2025 what can we expect?

Glasgow Ky, is home to numerous small coffee shops and what can this mean for our beloved local coffee? It is very likely many small coffee shops will unfortunately have to close their doors due to corporate domination from Starbucks. While many look forward to Starbucks opening their doors, many dred seeing the doors close to their beloved local coffee shops.
