New crossing, CWB at Russell Creek



2007-11-23 - North end, Columbia Western Bypass - Photo By Ed Waggener.
FOR NOW, CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC CROSSES RUSSELL CREEK over a low dry bridge to the left of the far fill on the north end of the Columbia Western Bypass.

Seeding is underway and in many places grass has already reached a deep green along the Bypass. The building across the KY 55 in the center of the photo is United Citizens Bank North 61 Branch.

Letter: Best tasting turkey he ever had

To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com:

We purchased a turkey cooked by Joe Barbee at the B & B Barbeque on Campbellsville street. That was the best tasting turkey that I have ever had. It was absolutely delicious. I want to thank Joe and his family for helping to make our Thanksgiving feast so enjoyable.
