Hunter Durham mentioned this Adair County High School calendar print showing the Southwest corner of the Public Square in Columbia. He wrote that Coca-Cola was being sold in this drawing (not kept cold) and his dad, Cotton, who was about 12 years old at the time, is captured in the picture drinking a Coke. Nell's 5 & 10 was between the Print Shoppe and First National Bank. This print hangs in City Hall. Comments | Permalink

Kentucky Color: Winter Beauty II
2019-02-03 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge
Winter Beauty was identified quite quickly which I really enjoyed seeing and indeed expected. This Winter Beauty II, American Holly in it's own right, is just as beautiful but could be a little more challenging to recognize it's location.
Obviously, American Holly is an leafy evergreen as opposed to evergreens with needles.

- What is another leafy evergreen growing locally?
- Do you recognize Winter Beauty II?
- If so, where is it located?

Old Knifley - comparing the cost of living in 1897
2019-02-03 - Knifley, northern Adair County, KY - Photo from Mitzi Bault, CM staff
This account book from my Great Grandfather's Knifley store dates to 1897. You could buy a pair of bib overalls for 68 cents, six yards of cotton for 57 cents. You could buy a half gallon of oil for five cents - these prices are crazy. Every day he posted in his book what he sold. He kept up with each sale cash and change. This day in 2019 Rick and I made a trip to Louisville to see my Oncologist. Can you believe the difference in making this trip in 1897? --Mitzi Comments | Permalink
