    Springtime Redbud beauty from three directions on Hurt Street



    2008-04-11 - Hurt Street, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.
    REDBUD BEAUTY. Drivers on Hurt Street, the main shortcut from Downtown Columbia to Uptown Jamestown Street, are treated to what may be Columbia's most spectacular display of spring color - at least of pinks - at the home of Diane and Robert Benningfield, located on Hurt Street at it's T with Montgomery Avenue. This view is from the Jamestown Street side, but it is equally attractive from Guardian Street; coming over the hill on Montgomery Avenue offers a special eye candy treat. The large tree is a Hoshino Cherry. The darker redbuds in the photo are just now coming into full bloom. Columbia and Adair County's redbud forest got a boost on Monday when 2,000 seedlings were handed out at the Chamber of Commerce. Executive Director Sue Stivers said the seedlings were gone in an hour and a half. "Everybody loves the redbuds," she said.

    Scenic Adair Co., KY: Rooflines, Memorable Old Columbia



    2008-04-11 - Reed Street aspect, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo By Pen.
    ROOF LINES and COMMUNICATIONS DISH, seen from Reed Street in front of Burton Tin Shop present an interesting set of patterns, juxtaposing the very old with the very modern with the very old again. In the foreground is the tin shop, to the left are the rear rooflines of First & Farmers National Bank with the dish on top, and to the far right, the Jeffries Building, a true four story structure, which seems higher. The top floor was once the Columbia Masonic Lodge assembly hall. The view from the top floor may be the most unforgettable one anywhere in Adair County. The building is owned by David and Eva Rigney and now houses their Radio Shack dealership, which fronts on the Square.Clicking Read More assesses the "Today, Friday, April 11, 2008" feature.

    Scenic Adair Co., KY: A place reminding us of Dr. Carter



    2008-04-11 - Hancock Road, District 7, Adair County, KY - Photo By Pen.
    THOSE WHO REMEMBER THE LATE U.S. REPRESENTATIVE TIM LEE CARTER may find his favorite verse coming to mind at this sight on Hancock Road, just north of Sulphur Creek, in District 7 of Adair County. The view is to the northwest, at this point. Dr. Carter would close every speech with this valediction: "In the words of the old Irish blessing, 'May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand'."

    Scenic Adair Co., KY: New view, Memorable Old Columbia



    2008-04-11 - Cafe on the Square - Photo By Linda Waggener.
    LINDA WAGGENER captured yet another unforgettable view of one of America's most photographed clocktowers. This view of the Adair County Courthouse Steeple is a new one, taken through the window of Cafe on the Square, Downtown Columbia's newest eatery. Community leaders are looking at adaptive re-use of the building, when the courts and the office of Adair County Circuit Court move to the new Adair County Judicial Center at Campbellsville and Merchant Streets. Among the options voiced: Arranging management of the landmark with Lindsey Wilson College, for a downtown coffee shop, bookstore, and criminal justice classrooms upstairs; moving City Hall to the structure; and making the building a museum. A growing sentiment is being heard to tear away the building's additions, which the late Janice Holt Giles termed "excretions."
