Where everything is happening today 2017-06-16 - From Will Walker Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c). From Will Walker Lane, at the entrance to Pinewood Shopping Center, a beehive of activity can be seen through the fog - even if one has to look triple hard to Kenneth& Earnestine Bennett's place high on the hill and Miss Vicky's Pampered Angus Ranch in Greater Bliss was nigh impossible to see. There's blacktopping at The Appliance Store across Burkesville Road and, out-of-frame on the right, a lot of paving work in Pinewood Shopping Center. The million gallon Raider Bob water tower gives one a Francis Scott Key moment, and almost dead-center is where a huge event is set to occur today, the Grand Re-Opening of the Columbia Walmart Super Center, where there ill be today, with a Ribbon Cutting at 9amCT. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

A trial & tribulation, an ambitious & vexing cat: Blue 2017-06-16 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c). Seconds count, in the fast paced life in Columbia - but Linda's dammit cat, Blue, who has had enough moments of android ambitions to make me think he is a re-incarnated human or visting alien in cat form, is vexing me with his latest 'phase' - I hope it's a phase - to be either Chief Pontiac or the Spirit of Ecstasy, even he can't do a three-pointed star, nor brand-match God of Wisdom -, as he sits on the bonnet of the only luxury car I own. Stubborn soul, he is. - ED WAGGENER. Letters of empathy welcome. Comments, empathy or no Sharon Whitehurst - Going inside the mind of a cat, explaining Blue. Joyce M.
