A Road Trip of Bucket List Proportions: Lights of Liberty 2013-12-29 - 36 Hustonville Street, Liberty, KY - Photo by Larry Smith, The Big Dawg, 99.9 FM radio. I've made a pilgrimage to Lights of Liberty to visit what is for Prof. A. W. Reed fans a shrine, even though there are no appropriate historical markers here. Every boy should have been so lucky to live a Tom Sawyer life in a wonderful small town like Liberty, Greensburg, or Summersville, and to have been afforded the opportunity to learn a valuable trade, running a movie theatre projector, as Prof. Reed did here when it was the Kentuckian Theatre, and I learned at the old Skyline in Summersville. I was also interested in the retro-Coca-Cola billboard of World War II vintage of the aviatrix and the slogan, "Your Thirst Takes Wings." It was worth the trip across KY 70 to Liberty. Just a hint - they could at least paint a historical marker on the side of the building commemorating this phase of Prof. Reed's early education. - Reed, The Big Dawg, FM 99.9 Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Fried Green Tomatoes along the trip of Bucket List proportions 2013-12-29 - Bluebird Cafe, 202 W Main Street, Stanford, KY - Photo by Alan W. Reed. The Fried Green Tomatoes at Stanford, KY's famed Bluebird Cafe, with coffee and water, were a brunch meal for me. They are good as the gorgeous presentation photographed by A.W. Reed looks. Easily worth a drive to Stanford to sample. Our history guide, Chris Bennett pronounced his turkey club and fries exceptional, and Mr. Reed's, more venturesome, had a Fried Green Tomato BLT a great combination of the the three basic food groups. - EW.

Great art of the world: The Big Dawg sculpture 2013-12-29 - The Big Dawg studio, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith, The Big Dawg, 99.9 FM radio. Our station 99.9 The Big Dawg now officially owns this wood carved Blood Hound. Taylor County Fair Board donated the hound to the Big Dawg Toys For Kids program to be auctioned off to provide Christmas to our needy children. During last seasons Taylor County Fair the Woodcarver Dennis Beach was my guest talking about the chainsaw art and I ask him if he would carve a "Big Dawg" and he said no problem and he did and the dog has been on display in our window since June. The Dog was purchased by Brandon Cox of Campbellsville, KY for $500.00, Cox the came to the station and paid the $500.00 and sent me a message that he would sell the radio station the dog, so I called him and we bought it...This dog is a real eye catcher in our showcase studio on Main Street in Campbellsville and for many years to come this wood carved dog will be a conversation piece. Who knows, it may surpass the RCA logo, 'His Master's Voice' as the most famous logo in the world. - LARRY SMITH, The Big Dawg, 99.9 FM, Campbellsville, KY Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
