Scenic Adair Co., KY: The view from Jessie's Fruit Market 2012-04-25 - Jessie Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The view from Jessie's Fruit Market on Jessie Street, Columbia, KY has been a kaleidoscope of change in the past decade - accelerated in the past year, with continuous changes on adjoining Hurt Street, office park, and Jamestown Street. It's all part of a boom of a retail, medical, and retail shopping area In Walking Distance of Lindsey Wilson College. This view from Jessie's in the foreground sweeps over the new John & Stacy Loy office building; over Hurt Street, then the roof tops of Office Park to the red brick operations building and Main Bank of United Citizens Bank of Southern Kentucky, at the corner of Heskamp and Jamestown Street. Quite a change from the 1950s when most of the land was town fields, the majority of it in the Ballard Addition, but including one time E. Campbell, Miranda Williams. Dr. B.J. and Carrie Bolen, Joe Barnes, and George Simpson properties. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
