Sherry Brown spreading the word about DoorDash in Edmonton By Pen Waggener DoorDash, the biggest of the services that provide online ordering and a network of delivery drivers to connect restaurants and customers, sprung to national prominence during the early days of the pandemic. But the gig economy often relies on population density to be efficient, and online delivery services have been somewhat slow to roll out in southern Kentucky. In Columbia, Daniel Hedges worked to expand participating restaurants through a campaign of "promotion, phone calls, emails, and communication with DoorDash." As a result of the efforts of Daniel and others, options in downtown Columbia on September 16, 2022, include Dairy Queen, Sonic, Burger King, Tray's Garden, Pizza Hut, and some of the local gas stations, plus CVS, Dollar General, and Tractor Supply. Sherry Brown, who has been delivering food for DoorDash since November 2021, is excited to see options for delivery start to come online in Edmonton. Options in Edmonton on September 16, 2022 include Dollar General, Walgreens, and McDonalds.

Carol Perkins: The Case of the Missing Keys Previous Column: Guess What's Wrong By Carol Perkins I watched as the driver eased my vehicle onto the flatbed tow truck. My SUV was being towed, but not because of an accident. Not because of a dead battery. That would have been less embarrassing. That Saturday morning, I attended a meeting at the First Baptist Church in Bowling Green concerning the Samaritan Purse Shoebox Mission, having recently volunteered to be our local coordinator. I was pumped up about the possibilities, but before going home, I stopped at a consignment shop on the by-pass. As soon as I stepped out of my SUV, a panhandler approached me, whom I blamed for my being unhinged.
