Green River Country at Coomer's Store 2026-06-29 - Adair/Green Counties - Photo from the Green River Sprite 1972. PROCEED TO HIGHWAY 1702 and meander on to "Old Portland." A sharp left turn at Coomer's Store and right on the first blacktop past the store will do it. Simon Finn still runs the store. Earl Stults will probably be on the store porch, too. Unless they're both gone "Sunday visiting." Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Flood waters high in Edmonton from weekend rains 2026-06-28 - Metcalfe County, KY - Photo from videos by Jeffrey Martin. If you go into Edmonton from Columbia or Greensburg you're familiar with the stockyards. This was the scene from weekend rains flooding the parking lot and into the building.

We were fortunate within the city limits compared to some of our neighboring counties. Tomorrow, if you have limbs and debris, please call city hall at 270-384-2501.

Rhymes with Squirrel? 2026-06-28 - Muncie, IN - Photo by Pen. A few members of several central Kentucky Color Guards spent last week on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, for the Bands of America Summer Camp (which used to be the Music for All Summer Symposium). Students spent an action-packed week learning single handed double time and other fine points of the marching arts, but the start and end of the camp involved a parade of parents carrying luggage and band gear to and from destinations like Botsford/Swinford and the Jack Beyerl Residence Hall (pictured above). Curiosity got the best of me while waiting on an elevator, and I searched the BSU web site in vain for a pronunciation of "Beyerl." Gemini suggested that it rhymes with "squirrel", but cited some unlikely sources for the inference. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
