Walking Columbia - Misuse of Downtown store's dumpster 2015-09-13 - S Reed Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener . Walking Downtown Columbia - a bit of a rant. One can't help but wish that the misuse of our neighborhood store's dumpster could be stopped. The rust on the side is from a fire, likely started by a careless smoker or a vandal. It isn't unusual to see cars drive up and unload household trash in the bin - sometimes even leaving furniture - I think I've seen a sofa there, maybe not. There's rarely a time those who misuse the dumpster fail to litter around the area. Glass is seen nearly any time - a walking hazard as well as one for bicycle, scooter, and other vehicle times.. Wind patterns blow the debris into nearby property which is otherwise some of the most meticulously maintained in the city. Can anything be done? What should be done? - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: The tree in Union Cemetery 2015-09-13 - Union Cemetery, 174 Milltown Church Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A lone tree dominated the skyline on September 12, 2015, amid markers ancient and new in this section of Union Cemetery seen from Milltown Church Road. Union Cemetery is one of Adair County's most historic, containing not only the remains of many who lost their lives in the Gradyville Flood of 1907, but also Gilmer Cemetery, which was relocated to Union Cemetery in 2006, when Holladay Place was under construction. An account of that can be read in the late Tony Harvey's story posted in ColumbiaMagazine.com on September 18, 2007, Gilmer Cemetery within Union Cemetery. Views from the cemetery are both spectacular and serene, owing in large part to being surround by some of the most lovingly tended - and valuable - property in Adair County. For more on the Gradyville Flood of June 7, 1907, see June 7, 2007: 100th Anniversary of Gradyville Flood which contains links to many of the stories in the ColumbiaMagazine.com history of tragedy. The cemetery is a great place to visit, walk, and to learn important Adair County history. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
