Owensboro sits on the Ohio River with a walkable downtown, a lively food and music scene (famous for barbecue and bluegrass), riverside parks, craft breweries and solid regional healthcare—making it an easy, pleasant place to live and work during multi‑week contracts.
If you want bigger-city options for weekends, Bowling Green and Evansville are within easy reach for more restaurants, shopping and airport connections, so you won’t feel isolated between shifts.
