Kentucky Color: Upset and disappointed - I 2017-07-11 - Greensburg Street near Rice Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, retired district forester, Kentucky Division of Forestry, President of Homeplace on Green River. The driver was upset and disappointed, not to mention bewildered, that he had missed the "No Thru Truck Traffic" signs the way he came in to Downtown. Most truckers I've spoken to, including this one, realize the "shortest route" is, not always the "best route" and appreciate all the informational signage needed to help them choose the "best route". - BILLY JOE FUDGE.
