A Halloweenish black hole entrance to 'Sleepy Hollow' 2017-10-02 - Grassy Springs Road, McGaha Kentucky - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. It's not really spooky, but as sundown was approaching Saturday night, it was easy to conjure up headless horsemen and a frightened Ichabod Crain, lights in the woods and a fright night creation by a fundraising group at this spot on the outskirts of McGaha, Adair County, once a thriving little town complete with a mill, but now mostly residential, still the home of the first - and later one more - of 20 bridges built in CJE Ann Melton administration - of the famous Log Church, and some of Adair County's most beautiful farmland. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Squarecrow # 40 - Jeffries Hardware man 2017-10-02 - Corner Jamestown Street & Public Square - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. There are more Squarecrows to wave to Monday morning, October 2, 2017. It will be easy to make eye contact with the tall hardware guy as one takes the crosswalk from the old Jeffries Building (Lindsey Wilson Building) to the one time Lerman Bros Department Store building. If you have your own Dewalt cordless drill, you may want to wave it. This afternoon and evening check downtown again. The street scene is changing fast. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
