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. Hutchison & Sons' John Deere Dealership. Adair Friends & Neighbors is now owned and managed by Dr. Lynda Wilkerson and her husband Ken Wilkerson, and offers daycare for seniors. This frontage is to the Municipal Parking Lot behind City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street and faces N Reed Street. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

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.

Downtown Columbia: Aerial Christmas Tree Farm 2013-07-01 - 214 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. At least from the ground they look like little pine trees. Every year, before the maintenance remove them, volunteer seedlings take root on the Purple Building. This year the crop of pines are the best ever, and regular enough to be a row on a Christmas tree plantation. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Natural Topiary for Adair County School campus 2013-07-01 - Off Indian Drive, Adair County School Campus - Photo by Ed Waggener. The mostly Eastern Red Cedar tree top at the entrance of the Adair County School Campus from Greensburg Street onto Indian Drive has a different look from every angle. From this one, it's obviously a green Holstein with a silver studded color, and a top do-ad which has a name, someplace, if anyone knows. From other angles, it looks like a Janis two-headed dog, maybe a giant Shih-Tzu and a big poodle, and a fox's face - maybe more: all of them as though they came from the same kind of imagination behind David Waltz' whimsical lamp bases. Could be the tree was trained this way on purpose. I wonder if anybody knows. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
