The property in question had been in the Hurt family since the late 1800s. This stately, antebellum structure was erected about 1854 or 1855 by Thomas H. Frazer when he was quite a young man.

New look coming for Kentucky license plates By Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is making major progress to introduce a modernized license plate manufacturing process in late 2020 after entering into a recent agreement with Intellectual Technologies Inc. Unlike current license plates embossed with raised letters and numbers, the new plates will be flat and printed digitally, reducing the production costs of bulk manufacturing, storage space, and unused inventory. The background graphics and pricing for standard and special license plates will remain the same. Newer plates will gradually replace older license plates that have lost their reflectivity, making them easier to read by humans and electronic tolling devices. Motorists will continue to visit their local county clerk office to register their vehicle and leave the office with a new standard license plate featuring a new alphanumeric combination.

Letter: Restoration of house is top priority Brody Blair writes: I think that the restoration of the house should be the top on our priority list, then growing the forest back, and adding a trail. I also think an amphitheater is a nice idea, and would add to the unique essence of Columbia's Downtown scene. Which is quickly, and to the liking of many, being restored with locally owned businesses.Comments re article 107794 Letter Hurt property 2019-12-09 11:20:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
