Town & Jamestown Hills: A strip to shop; not hills to shoot 2014-07-25 - Town/Jamestown Hills, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. There's a lot of activity on both sides of Jamestown Street in the 100 block to just past Guthrie Street, and some really significant businesses. One of them, Lynn's Service Center, already the last service station, will soon be the the last place in the county were an attendant pumps your gas, cleans your windshield, checks your oil and air, while you sit in your car. (Notably: Sue Stivers has said that the reason she keeps working is so she can have someone else pump her gas.) It's also home to so much more. There are some 16-17 active businesses and vacancies for two or more in addition, in the strip. There's an eatery that's a decades old landmark, "Sweets & Eats," a salon, insurance agency, government offices, the new Farm2Furniture outlet, Green River Arts academy, a school, Grider Properties (now in the process of moving), a loan office, a car wash being renovated, even, at 200 Jamestown Street, a place to find a computer expert. The point: it's a village within a village. Best served by slower moving traffic whose destination is primary this shopping area. With a little design change, through semi's would use the bypass, and entry and exits from these businesses would be easier. Maybe a way could be found to add some on street parking, as was here when Downtown was where it all was, where everyone came on Saturday. There's data somewhere, we sure, which correlates slower traffic with high sales. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Slight Nuance - Square Serifs -makes big difference 2014-07-25 - South Green Co., KY - Photo CM Staff Photo. At first glance, a traveler doesn't necessary notice why Green County's Road signs have more colonial look, befitting its history. It's subtle: Square Serifs on the fatter letters. Many, if not most, county road signs are posted in highly legible but somewhat generic sand serif or "plain" letters. And, according to some typographers, letters with serifs cause eye flutter - which is actually restful, as this area of Green County, Kentucky certainly is - and it also proves Tim Baker's idea that the grass is greener on a gray day. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Large brown trout found in Cumberland River 2014-07-24 - Cumberland River - Photo by Lee McClellan. The Cumberland River holds fish like this large brown trout sampled from the river by fisheries biologists in 2011. Wading the Cumberland River for trout or one of the many smallmouth bass streams across Kentucky in July and August produces excellent fishing. The cool water also acts as natural air conditioning. - LEE McCLELLAN, Associate Editor, Kentucky Afield Outdoors Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
