A newly painted mural in Jamestown, KY, the capital of Russell County, defies anyone to ignore it. Many of us have watched with fascination as the art took form. Closer up, it's a study in Christian symbolism of the region. Minute details, like the "I Heart KY," compels one to search for others. Our view was from an air conditioned CRV, too near the Jamestown Police Department headquarters to allow for much lingering, but we'll head back on another lunch hour know-your-county-better-tour to see what other subtle messages are within. In perspective, on the left is the Russell County Library/Jamestown building, on the right can be seen the American Flag at the Doughboy monument, the steeple of the Jamestown Christian Church, and the roofline of the Russell County Courthouse. - EW/LW Comments | Permalink
