Hours and days and weeks of work went into the restoration of Nanwood Market on the Public Square in Columbia. This view is of last minute work going on before the ribbon cutting ceremony Friday, 6 Jun 2018. Work had to be done around the many well wishers stopping in with questions and support, excited to see this hopeful operation. The feeling that results from seeing this type commitment was put into words beautifully by Jane Smith who is on the Columbia Public Square daily in her work at the Bank of Columbia, "...It makes me smile to drive around it and see lights glowing in the windows at sunset or "We're open" signs instead of blank windows staring back at you. So glad there are people that have a vision and are willing to take the chance at small town business..." - LW Comments | Permalink Linda Bailey helping share her neighbor's message

Linda Bailey works next door to Nanwood Market and said at the ribbon cutting celebration that wearing the logo of her neighbor is her way of supporting the business. With the Nanwood restoration, three historic buildings in a row on the square are looking great. Linda works with Harris and Harris law firm and her husband Danny is part of Red Brick Studios. Both of those buildings were refurbished by Mike and Laura Harris. - LW Comments | Permalink Montpelier, KY area - Crepe Myrtle in 'Cotton Candy' stage

Crepe Myrtle is at or nearing its peak in the CM 7-County area, now forming the familiar 'Cotton Candy' clusters weighing heavy over the shrubs, many already bowing low under their loads (especially the white variety seen on E Fortune Street by the Columbia/Adair Chamber of Commerce parking lot). - EW Comments | Permalink Older Photos
