Can just imagine the Page House wedding in Jim article

Ann Heskamp Curtis writes:
I can just imagine this beautifully described 1906 wedding at the Page residence (today's Grissom-Martin Funeral Home.) The wedding most likely would have taken place in one of the two formal front rooms, where the fireplaces are located.

Thanks to "Jim" for these little vignettes from the past. - Ann

Maria's restaurant features imported food

Vienna hot dogs come from Chicago, IL

V.I. Benaitis writes:
Have you eaten the Chicago style dogs from Maria's on 55 by NAPA in Campbellsville? They are authentic Vienna hot dogs imported from Chicago and they have the steamer from Vienna also. She features Chicago pizza and it is the closest copy of Chicago pizza within this area. We moved into this area several years ago and return to the Windy City several times a year to visit family and especially to bring back ethnic foods including Tom-Toms, as well as Italian sausage and other ethnic foods. If you haven't tried Marias, it would be worth the drive to C-ville to check it out! Perhaps she would share her secret for acquiring the dogs. -V.I. Benaitis

Why didn't Adair microdistilleries get state publicity?

Microdistilleries? In the 50's it wasn't unusual to have microdistilleries in Southern Adair County. I don't recall that the Department of Tourism ever issued a press release although those folks did indeed contribute to a "richer, more diverse distilling industry in Kentucky."
Dave Rosenbaum: Thanks for pointing out a need for all of the Adair County diaspora to point white horses and ride on Frankfort! -EW
