Grimsley's back on the Square - not

The sign on the front of the building by Columbia's fountain looks as if Grimsley's Jewelry might be reopening but not so. It had just been covered over by the ones who bought it from Charles Grimsley until they recently moved. The building is reportedly now under the ownership of Acapulco next door.

Remember: Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving

Help prevent impaired driving crashes during the holiday weekend

As Independence Day quickly approaches, Kentuckians are reminded to plan for a safe ride home if celebrations include alcohol. Unfortunately, the holiday can turn tragic when individuals drive while impaired.

It is never acceptable to drink alcohol and drive - even after just a few drinks. Making a plan for a sober, designated driver before celebrations begin will help prevent tragedies on Kentucky roadways.

"Making our roadways safe for all users is a team effort," said Governor Andy Beshear. "While Kentuckians enjoy their Fourth of July festivities, please commit to celebrating responsibly so we all make it home to our friends and loved ones."

Giving directions in Adair County

People tell others all the time they simply can't find where to get their drivers license renewed now that the changes have been made in office and location. The new place is in a very our-of-the-way location, very hard to give directions to, or to put into a GPS. If anybody has directions that make it easy to find, please contribute by clicking comment below.

Tourism is called upon to provide a list of places and directions for people coming to town which would help people give aid to those stopping in to ask for guidance. For instance, help is needed to find places to eat, places to stay, places to enjoy like Trail Town stops, and Janice Holt Giles' cabin, and the Tribute Russell House.
