Remembers wonderful 12 cent Jiffy Burgers downtown Comments re photo 40069 Harris Building Eye level historic details Billy Joe Fudge writes: I can still taste those wonderful 12 cent Jiffy Castle burgers from that little brick building on the right in this photo. Great food, not much room, but always a crowd on Saturday. -Billy Joe FudgeHush! This makes me hungry for those little Jiffy delicacies, but even more for Chili Omelets from the successor Angel's Cafe, and everything from great breakfasts, to wonderful chicken salad, tuna fish salad, even Annie Rooney potato salad, and the fresh cut salads ever, in the successor cafe by the same Angel's name. Elaine Bennett owned and operated it and her sister Trilby baked those wonderful pies there. It was a great place to start a day. Wonder what ever happened to those Harvey girls - Elaine and Trilby - who ran it? -EW 2011-04-23 17:58:16 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

When was post office in corner building, reader asks Comments re photo 40069 Harris Building Eye level historic detailsMartha Berry writes: Ed, isn''t that the corner of Campbellsville St. and the Square? If so, when was the PO in that building? My first memory of the PO was in a building that was torn down many years ago, but today would be about where the Court House Annex is. It was in the corner of the Square next to the old Miller Hotel, what would be about at the far left edge of the picture. I really don't remember what was in the Mouser Building at the time but it seems like at one time there was a watch shop, among other businesses, maybe the first site of Ples Grimsley's? Or Royse's, maybe. - Martha BerryYou are right about the watch shop, there was one; but it was Casey Jones' Jewelry Shop. The post office was in the building, according to stories my father told me, before it was moved to the Hotel Miller building, which stood at the site of the present Adair Annex, 424 Public Square. The late Ray Flowers was postmaster, both in its last days in the little corner building and after it moved to the 424 Public Square Corner. My father, the late E.P. Waggener, carried Rural Route 1, at the time. That route wounded around up around Green River Country. Later, he helped established Rural Route 2, which included areas around Bliss, Gradyville, Weed, Sparksville, and The Flatwoods. -ED 2011-04-23 13:04:35 | Comments | Printable version

Photography: The Turtle Chorus. Looks like there was a plan Comments re photo 39986. Springtime in Kentucky sung by the Turtle Chorus photo by Lawrence Hamilton. Leshia Fair writes: This is such a cool photo. I have never seen anything like it. They look like there is a plan. Leshia FairThanks. Everybody is wondering about that - whether or not Lawrence Hamilton trained the turtles and staged the singing, or what. Haven't checked with the Photography Police, but that would probably be legal. - EW 2011-04-23 05:40:37 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for April 23 Happy Birthday, siblings Suzanne Rodgers, Pat Miller and Jeffrey Todd Miller | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Abigail Thompson (1998) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Amanda Tooley (1972) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Ava Harrison | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bridgette Reagin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Calvin Leo Claywell, (1948) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Conor Smith (2005) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jane Grant | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Joey Page | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Julie McQueary | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Matthew Brummett | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Pamela Farr | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Phyllis Caldwell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Shane Lee Pollard | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Timmy Loy | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Joyce Darlene DeHart, 70, Russell Co., KY (1944-2015) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Naomi Logan Popplewell, Russell Springs, KY (1926-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Everett Howard Harvey, Russell Springs, KY (1943-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Lattie V.
