Hospitality from Morgan Smith 2023-12-06 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The only thing between the cold, pouring rain over all Saturday's parade entrants, and comfort, was the hospitality of Morgan Smith Industries. As the traditional lot where floats finish final touches and line up, the factory could simply have provided the gift of the large parking lot and been appreciated. However, they kept the doors open, restrooms available, and handed out free popcorn and hot chocolate - major comfort - to all who entered. Morgan Smith gets a Columbia Magazine gold star for holiday hospitality! - LW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

I didn't start it 2023-12-06 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. If you've never had feral cats living outside your door, you've probably never heard a howling cat fight over territory. Every time this rescue, Smokey Blue, lets me near while he's dining, I hear his happy purrs and I think, yeah, he's tame, he's neutered, he's left his old ways behind. However, the minute another male muscles in to take over the yard, Blue goes right back to his wild roots, and the brawl is on. This fight was caught on a security camera so evidence shows he's not near as innocent as he wants me to believe with this look. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
