On Friday, September 19th, Chelene Nightingale, along with other community members, organized a “prayer vigil” at the Veterans Memorial Wall on the corner of the public square and South Race Street in Glasgow, Kentucky. Guest speakers included Pastor Wade Lewis, Pastor Micha Shaw, and Beth Cooper. Nightingale, interviewed by WBKO News, stated, “We needed our hearts sealed… I mean, so many of us have been crying for days, and nobody had really stepped up to do anything. Then one day, it just was organic. I said, I’m going to do this.” Barren County Sheriff Kent Keen and Glasgow Mayor, Henry Royce, confirmed that there would be additional officers and security at the event to ensure the safety of attendees.

On September 4, 2025, Thomas J. Orlando, 39, of Glasgow, allegedly shot and killed a woman who was later identified as Britteny Harper in Park City, Kentucky. According to police reports, two children were present inside the home at the time of the shooting. After fleeing the scene in a 2019 GMC Terrain SUV, Orlando was later located at a nearby cemetery and had a firearm consistent with the one used in the shooting. Orlando was then charged with murder (domestic violence) and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment for discharge of a firearm after he allegedly made statements to a third party that he was in fact responsible for the death of the victim. Orlando has previously been charged with Contempt of Court Libel/Slander in December of 2022, but it is unclear if the two charges are related. Orlando’s arraignment date was set to Tuesday September 9th at 8:30am, and according to online court records, Orlando now has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Monday, September 15 at 1pm.

Want more variety of food spots? New restaurants coming to you this fall! Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks are coming to you!
The new Chick-Fil-a coming to Glasgow will be located on Rogers Wells Blvd. This will be a welcome addition to the community, as previous restaurant choices have been limited. While there is a good mix of fast food and mom and pop restaurants, the small community is always a buzz when new choices come to town.
The new Starbucks, which this writer is personally excited for, will also be located on Rogers Wells Blvd. Starbucks has an expected opening date sometime this September. Newly announced, Wingstop is expected to open closer to 2026, but will be located on Happy Valley Rd.
