Stronger bonds across the generations 2012-01-23 - Shelby Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. There's a special bond across the generations, maybe even one just between girls. Couldn't tell who was more enamored with the other, Tillie with Great Mema, Geniece Marcum, or Great Mema with Tillie. Great Mema had been engrossed in a newspaper moments before, but stopped for a possible game of Patty Cake. Tillie, seems mesmerized, enough to give playing scrabble with her alphabet building blocks a rest. We expect, on the next visit, to see Tillie showing things to Great Mema on an iPad soon. - Granddad PS: This was just one of our special grandparenting moments, shared with the hope that other grandparents with the greatest grandkids in the world will reciprocate with news they are willing to share on CM. -EW.

Last chance to bid farewell to an Old Friend: Long John's 2012-01-23 - 1003 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY. - Photo by Ed Waggener. Columbia Street Department Superintendent Donnie Rowe tipped us off that the Long John Silver's had been reduced to a recyclable pile of rubble by Danny Pyles Excavating, and this picture was taken to document that page of history on a rainy Sunday morning, January 22, 2012. Pretty soon the restaurant building will removed and will go through a recycling sorting process and, Rowe said, "Everything will find a new use," including the wood, glass, and metal. Likely with little fanfare, the sign will be down soon. And, as if in time lapse photography, the segment of Jamestown Hill which was once Mr. Petty's pasture field will be transformed into a new bank - officially not announced. The yellow roofed building at 1001 Jamestown Street is the Dickey's BBQ of Columbia, KY, and to the right is the back of Bradshaw's Shoe Repair on Gaston Avenue, which has gained added importance lately as the main entrance to a huge parking lot nearest Blue Raider Stadium at the Lindsey Wilson Sports Park.
