Della Shaw: Totally agrees with Vicky Pike

'You do not have to be wealthy to be neat and clean." - Della Shaw

Della Shaw writes:
I totally agree with Vicky Pike, if each individual property owner or renter would just pick up trash thrown out by those who do not care, mow and weed eat where they live and keep junk out of their yards and off the porches this county and town would look like a much better place. You do not have to be wealthy to be neat and clean. We can all take care of our little corner of this world and the above things are just some of my pet peeves. A lot of people need to have more pride in their property! - Della Shaw

Concrete survey post marks Russell-Adair line on KY 55



2016-08-06 - by Ragan Cemetery entrance, Crocus/Graball, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener.
Concrete survey posts at county lines may be common, but this is the first one we'd noticed. Are they at most county lines? Or are they from an earlier age? In the background is Ragan Cemetery. The entrance to the cemetery is in Adair County, but most of the burial ground is in Russell. Comments on the concrete marker would be appreciated. - EW/LW. Photo Saturday, August 6, 2016.

Debbie Cowan knows town, trails, where the HOE OF KY grate is

Comments re photo 67944 Where in the World is it Cast Iron HOE OF KY Drainage Grate

Debbie Cowan writes:
This is located on the Adair County School campus, most likely near the ACHS parking lot/front of school. I have noticed it in the past while walking the campus. The Adair School campus is a great place to walk or run, particularly on the weekends. - Debbie Cowan
Thanks, Debbie Cowan - especially for letting others in on what an opportunity the campus is making to change some significant health stats for Adair County. Your answer is the first answer, and it is correct (it's near the lower ACHS parking lot on Indian Drive, nearest to Greensburg Street campus entrance. This answer may quite possibly be a record in the "World Record Book of Guinesses" for this series of Where in the World is It? photos. Thanks. - EW

Urges others to follow suit: Take pride, people, in your home and property.
Comments re photo 67934 Ask not what your Commonwealth can do for you . . .

I applaud Junior for taking the initiative to keep his property looking its best.

We all need to join this practice and mow all you can around your property.

I do and so do some of my other neighbors.
