Drivers may share ways to avoid downtown Columbia



2023-09-07 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Signs on north and south 55 say to use the Veterans Memorial Bypass, not go through town. When I see a truck go around the Square, I wonder what alternatives there are if a driver is coming from East 80, or Greensburg Road. Hopefully local drivers who know all the streets will take time to share their shortcuts.

Line dancing a good exercise once practiced

Line dancing looks like great fun and good exercise, but can be baffling on your first try. There are some secrets to the art and when you understand them, line dancing is much less daunting.

First, a line dance lasts from three to five minutes and you can drop out at any time. Among all the popular line dances, the Electric Slide is the shortest, lasting from two to three minutes and makes a good beginning dance to learn. It is the dance that often opens a line dance party, especially as a warm up. The steps are fairly easy and the dancers face different directions four times. Tips follow.
