Mobile home taking the public square, not the bypass 2018-02-23 - Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Around 11:30 Friday, February 22, 2018, all the vehicles in our lane were suddenly pulling to the side of Jamestown Street to allow for what looked like a 14’ mobile home barreling down on the square. Looking back, it can just be seen heading toward Campbellsville Street. It must have had an understandable challenge moving through downtown as traffic began to get backed up behind it until it could get off the square. Back on the street, after getting over the shock, we wondered how City of Columbia signage can possibly be improved so that truck drivers will begin to know about the new bypass? -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Caged garter snake, doing cobra impersonation 2018-02-23 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The first garter snake spotted this year, on branch (does it have a name?) which flows behind the old Meadow Hill Inn and joins Town Creek above the Christian Church park. This one wasn't too fierce. Maybe was emulating a cobra, maybe it's more of a Lowly Worm, the cute Richard Scarry critter impersonation. In any case, this garter snake is is cute. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Adair Drug Bug slot volunteered for Canadian Tour Bus parking 2018-02-23 - Adair Drug, 510 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Adair Drug Pharmacist Janet Loy Parrish, shows the area in front of the business where one Canadian Tour Bus could be parked if the tourist attraction being studied by Junior Stotts were to develop at the newly re-found Coffey Cave entrance across the street from the pharmacy. It would mean moving the pharmacy's famous Adair Drug Bug, but for the good of the economic development, that could be done. The development of Coffey Cave was put on temporary hold yesterday afternoon and the entrance to the cave is being barricaded, in the interest of safety, for now. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
