City Councillors cracking down on street light outages 2013-07-02 - N Reed Street, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Councillors Charles Grimsley and Dr. Ronald P. Rogers are cracking down on burned out street lights. Over the past month, they rode the streets in the evening and found that 31 of the city's street lights were doing their jobs. The surveillance takes 6 hours Councillor Grimsley said; or 12 man hours when a two person team does the job. They're calling on Citizens to help with the task, as well as City Gas, Police, Sanitation Department members, staff at City Hall, and other Council Members. Bad street lights should be reported, with the Number on the Pole (Above, B-3, Reed Street) along with the street location. Call City Hall at 270-384-2501; or Mr. Grimsley at 270-384-5658; or Dr. Rogers, or any Council Member. The City is paying for the same service whether the lights are working or not, Councillor Grimsley says. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

At City Council meeting: Councillor Robert Flowers 2013-07-02 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Robert Flowers. Robert Flowers was in a happy mood before the Monday, July 1, 2013, regular session of Columbia City Council, especially about the state of the city after the council made some hard decisions on the budget and adjusted rates for the city sanitation department and enhanced revenues for the gas department. Later in the meeting, he would take on a challenge to the gas ordinance, explaining to Citizen Bill Anderson that the changes were necesary to keep the department solvent in the face of rising pipeline transportation costs. He also challenged the Mayor, Acting City Clerk, and fellow council members to revisit the city's tax code, to find out how the City of Greensburg and the City of Campbellsville fared after the implementation of a Payroll Tax. Behind him, from front are Council Members Linda Waggener and Craig Dean, then City Attorney Marshall Loy. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Downtown Columbia: Bright spot, Adair Friends & Neighbors 2013-07-02 - Adair Friends & Neighbors, 127 N. Reed Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. New paint, a sign, window boxes and flowers - small changes with a few accents have made a dramatic change in mood for Adair Friends & Neighbors building, the one time Adair Health Department building and one time warehouse for C.R.

Old School Group needs ID, names of faces in photo 2013-07-02 - Printing Creations, 110 N. Monroe Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Joyce Coomer. Joyce Coomer at Printing Creations has been presented another mystery photo by someone hoping to have it identified and passed the puzzle on to us and we're passing it on the CM Readers - so now the burden of responsibility is squarely with y'all. Joyce and I have done all we can. If you know only the school and the exact or circa year, send that; if you know all the names, that would be fantastic. Surely, either way, there will be an extra jewel in your crown by and by. We'll appreciate it. And may we'll be able, sometime, to figure our a way to easily archive all the picture conundrums and maybe.

(Star) Case in Red Brick Recording Studio is art itself 2013-07-01 - 200 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Recording stars and their retinues and entourages who stay overnight will ascend this circular staircase, a beautiful work of art from Anthony Janes' Fabco, Columbia, KY. Though several big names in the recording industry have visited the studio, no one has, as yet, stayed in the elegant quarters overlooking the Public Square and Burkesville Street. Many of the public will have a chance to see the just finished accommodations soon. Owner Mike Harris is planning some guided tours by invitation, and maybe, down the road, an open house. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
