Does anybody else care? It's just the biggest show in KY today About: U.S. 68/LBN Pkwy interchange groundbreaking at Edmonton Does anybody else out there care about the biggest show moving across Kentucky since the Happy Chandler campaign of 1953? We know that Eye-on-the-News Russ Walker does. I do and so have others with perpetual nine-year-old minds fascinated with nuggets of information. Professor Rickie Williams up on Lindsey Hill is concerned that CM has not dispatched a journalist to find out where that mammoth boiler is . . . (at). The oversized boiler is taking selected super roads in Kentucky so as to not knock out a bridge or overpass as it zig zags and meanders. We're needing a photo if anyone will share it. If not, we may have to mount an expedition to some distant, faraway place like Bardstown or Greater Willisburg and nap the contraption with a cell phone. - ED 2014-02-19 08:10:27 | Comments | Printable version
