Promontory Point: Burkesville Street Phase, Downtown Project 2018-03-15 - Tutt ST/KY 2287 & Burkesville ST/KY 55/61/& 80 concurrency, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Remarkable progress, overnight, occurred in the one block of Tutt Street to Grissom Street in the late hours of last night to early this morning, when Barry Stotts and his Stotts Construction Co, Inc crew tied in the new waterline from this point to the Public Square. The event marks approximately - within 50 feet or within the frontage of Dog Gone Classy - the halfway point on the Burkesville Street Phase of the Downtown Project. One block of Tutt Street was closed at 10pmCT to protect the workers and was complete with the announcement of a Boil Water Advisory early this morning. In the right foreground is a historical marker remembering the invasion of Columbia by John Hunt Morgan in the Civil War. One can't help but do a time warp and wonder if Morgan would have made it to Coffey's Cave, much less capture Columbia and continue to Tebb's Bend had he been met by all the construction equipment mobilized for this 2018 construction phase, and had there been a vanguard of units of Mahindra's with hay lances. The army would have turned tail and been back in Tennessee in no time flat! - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Changing face of Dohoney Trace, New Columbia, KY 2018-03-15 - Dohoney Trace, Holladay Place, (New) Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. A small change, the installation of red trim on the gables of the new "Recipe" Fried Chicken restaurant, made a huge difference in the recognition factor. This perspective makes the walk from the Sleep Inn seem closer than it is, but it is a walkable distance. Those with some of Billy Joe Fudge's detection talent will notice that the brick for the exterior is already in place. The term "Recipe" Fried Chicken is remembered term from the 1970's when a technician from Massachusetts was a frequent visitor to Waggener-Walker Newspapers. Whenever he was invited out to lunch and asked where he would like to eat, he always said, "Recipe Fried Chicken." Kinda became a WWNI culture speak word. Dohoney Trace itself is about to look brand new, thanks to a resurfacing project paid from by funds earmarked by Governor Matt Bevin, facilitated by Senator Max Wise and Representative Bam Carney, according to Columbia Mayor Curtis Hardwick, who announced the project extending from the Hotel to Hardees's.
