Symbolic reminders of Joe Moore are everywhere 2017-04-03 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . The crest on City Hall is just one of the ubiquitous reminders of the late Joe Moore. The idea to put on the building came from former Mayor Pat Bell, who worked with Mary Allender of the Columbia/Adair County Chamber to adapt the stylized drawing of the Historic Adair County Courthouse for the symbol above. Mrs. Allender, turned to graphic artist Joyce Coomer of Printing Creations, who took the idea and created the logo above. Joyce Coomer says the Joe Moore design was modified, above, for screen printing, and says she doesn't know who created the finished sign, above. Joe Moore died Thursday, March 30, 2017.

Scenic Green Co., KY: What happened to ultimate 'e' 2017-04-03 - W Court Street, Greensburg, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . It was too early in the morning to ask the usual history expert suspects, but re-reading this historical marker, I couldn't help but wonder, if Green County, KY, named for Revolutionary War hero Gen. Nathaniel Greene, ever had the third "e", and if so, when and why did it fall into disuse. The sign is on the South Public Square, at West Court Street, just off Main, in downtown Greensburg. It reads: "Green County, 1792, Description: Formed from parts of Lincoln and Nelson counties. The last of seven formed during first legislature. Named for General Nathanael Greene, who, in the Revolutionary War, commanded a unit at Boston, 1776; helped plan defense of New York; fought at Trenton, Brandywine and Monmouth. Sent south by Washington. Greene's Carolina campaign forced British to leave Charleston, 1782." - EW. Photo Thu 30 Mar 2017. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
