2007 Adair County Pride: At Cane Valley



2007-04-27 - Downtown Cane Valley, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.
Lisa Lee, Adair County Pride co-Coordinator, and Max Taylor, owner of Taylor Feed Store in Downtown Cane Valley, discussed a better location for the replacement dumpster. At 9:00am this morning the call was made for a replacement dumpster at Cane Valley. Business was brisk, according to to Lee. "They always give me the busiest locations," she said. Last week, at Knifley, Lee's crew handled almost half the county's volume, 5 of 11 dumpsters. Max Taylor has operated the feed and tack store for 30 years. The store is the principal hangout for loafers and whittlers in Cane Valley. Cane Valley was one of the most active places in Adair County today. With soaring, $3-plus gasoline in Columbia, traffic was very light. But at Cane Valley, the dumpster service was busy, and preparation for a major Bryant Realty Auction was impacting most of downtown. Saturday in the Valley is expected to be busier yet, with the Auction and a big supper and gospel singing at New Life for the Nations, but that is up on the Highway, on KY 55, in Greater Cane Valley. The brick building on the left is the old bank building, and that's the Cane Valley Christian Church in the center.

COF SAYS: Campbellsville rainbow ended behind Baker's

To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Miz Emily and I watched the same awesome spectacle but from our vantage point here at Dun Roman on a ridge high above Knifley, it was obvious that the right leg ended just behind Daryl and Gayla's back door.

Probably should have told them but then they might have found that "pot o' gold" and we can't afford to lose another country store. Like most of the ole geezers in this area, I still haven't got over Keith boarding up Tuckers!

The COF
Kinder, gentler, but still crusty high on the ridgetop over downtown Knifley, KY
Thanks, COF: You're right. Nobody could microwave a hamburger better'n Keith Livermore. They tasted even better when he provided the provenance: That the beef was from an elk hunt in Montana. Not taking anything away from Bakers' or the Crossroads, either. They cook (and slice) good, too. It's a known fact that good cooks abound in Knifley. Can't think a better place for elves to leave their gold. Let me know how much there was when y'all count it up. But, I'm still remorsing over Tucker's closing, too. -Ed. PS-Is there any word yet on the restaurant over at the schoolhouse?

The campaign, which went public in April 2004, was scheduled to end on June 30.
