Lindsey Water Tower Project: Raider Bob Logo being applied 2016-08-10 - Lindsey Wilson Campus, Young Street side, Columbia, KY - Photo by George Kolbenschlag. The end neareth. The intrepid high-altitude painters from Albany are finally applying the LWC logo to the tower. The rain and high winds brought delays. The curtain they used to keep any loose paint contained blew down three times and they were rained out repeatedly. They hope to wrap it up by the end of next week. If you have business at Lindsey over the next 10 or so days you may want to plan on extra time because parking will be at a premium with the painters taking up a large part of the parking lot behind Biggers gym. - George Kolbenschlag Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
