Old Reed Street Bowling Alley

Doug writes, "I noticed this faded lettering on a drive through Reed Street this morning. I can't make out the top line but the words BOWL and LANES are legible. This might be an interesting story to research from those who remember when this was operational. I seem to have a faint recall of this facility from my childhood. I do remember that for many years there were lots of bowling pins that ended up at Haskin Coomer and Sons when the bowling alley closed its doors."
We think this is the old Crystal Bowl Lanes at 104 Reed Street, Columbia, KY. If you have memories of bowling there, send us a letter using our Contact Form. Comments | Permalink

Ballot received, read, read again, marked and mailed

When you ask to vote Absentee on the state website, GoVoteKy.com, you bypass the application process, are verified online as a registered voter, and will receive your ballot in the mail from the County Clerk's office. Unpacking the big envelope received from the County Clerk, I found (1) the instructions, (2) the ballot, (3) the inside envelope (the brown one), and (4) the return-to-Clerk envelope.
I read the instructions - twice - to make sure I didn’t mess up because I’ve been told that an error in processing will make the vote null and void.
There are three steps to complete your Absentee vote. First, study and properly mark/color in your choices on the ballot. Second, sign and seal the (brown) envelope after placing your ballot inside it. And then the third step is placing the brown envelope in the outside envelope and mailing postage-free to the county clerk, or delivering it to the Clerk's office.
Or, you can put on your mask, stay six feet apart from others and vote in person in the Courthouse Annex any day now. Voting is in progress six days a week. Clicking 'read more' takes you to Adair County Clerk Lisa Greer's reminder of the hours and days they are open. Comments | Permalink
