A daughter requests, please say her name 2022-04-27 - Adair County, KY - Photo from personal collection. Stephanie Maclean, pictured at right, would like her Mom, the late Rosemary Bryant McLean, in the photo at left, to be remembered whenever names from her class are printed. Rosemary graduated from Adair County High School in 1982 and died in a car accident when Stephanie was only four months old. Whenever reunion notices are posted, she says she thinks of her Mother and would like to see her mentioned along with classmates. Columbia Magazine has a 25-year history "linking the generations" - we're pleased to post this request and research further. Mike Watson assures us that the Adair County Public Library's new History and Genealogy Center will find Rosemary's obituary so it can be included in the archives and linked with Stephanie's keepsake picture. - LW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Need to know more 2022-04-27 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. This may be a Great Blue Heron rookery - a telephoto lens on another trip will be needed to be sure.

New one-way street changes traffic pattern 2022-04-27 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Gina Baker shares the photo at right looking out Greensburg Street in Columbia and this note, "I wanted to send this in to let people know that North Monroe Street off of Greensburg Street at the corner by the Adair County Regional Jail is now one way for one block to Adams Street." One the left, it shows the new 'no through traffic' sign. It's only one block but it's a pattern-changer for downtown drivers. For the sake of safety, the block of North Monroe Street between Adams and Greensburg Streets no longer allows through traffic. It will prevent vehicles from pulling out in a blind spot due to parked cars and trucks. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Kentucky Color: Enchanted Land 2022-04-26 - Green Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Billy Joe writes, "There is an Enchanted Land of Greens resting between Meadow Creek and Little Meadow Creek in Green County near the Taylor County line. An other-worldly aura in a place time seems to have forgotten is augmented by the Luna Moth found roosting on the cool, shaded East side of a Beech tree. The gradations of greens appear somewhat 3-D and bring 'Alice in Wonderland' to mind!" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
