Where Is It - Plaque to two leaders of their profession 2013-06-29 - Adair Co., KY - Photo CM staff photo. It's in Adair County, KY - in Columbia, in fact not too far from their shop, which was across from the once-upon-a-time M & W Auto Parts over half a century ago, on the North Walk off the Square in Downtown Columbia, and which was also historically significant as the site of Gary McKinney's initiation as a young professional, into Mr. Cole and Mr. Pickett's profession. If you don't know where the plaque is located, maybe you'll spot it on a Downtown Walk today when you visit the Farmer's Market on the Square.

Soon, Just an expansive, grassy lawn 2013-06-29 - Adair County School Campus, Greensburg Street Frontage, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A never-used chip-and-seal path on the front lawn of the Adair County School District Campus is being replaced with a grassy lawn. Possibly by the start of school, 46 days away, on August 14, 2013, students will see no trace of the path. The old paving has been removed, and work continues putting fill and topsoil in place before actual seeding happens. If the reseeding goes as well as the waterline cleanup on Greensburg Street by Stotts Construction Company, it will be virtually impossible to tell where the new grass starts and the existing lawn starts. Restoring the grass offers aesthetic advantages, and practical Green ones, too: A heat island will have been removed, run off and drainage problems will be reduced, and, because of more consistent natural water supply, the lawn won't have those pesky, downhill super growths which need more frequent mowings.

Big Interview: Downtown Columbia 2013-06-29 - 212 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by C.M. Paparozzi. Something's always happening Downtown - Caught this news in the making in Downtown Columbia, Friday, June 29, 2013 - an interview with Coach Dave Grigsby. Couldn't determine whether the the interview was 1) About the Fabulous Lindsey Wilson Cycling Team Coach Grigsby leads or 2) About his recent story, "The Return of the Ring". Other intelligence, and maybe a connection, there was a WLEX Tv 18, Lexington, KY, news mobile in front of the First & Farmers National Bank. Anyone with details on when the interview aired/will air, is welcome to share, using the "Comments" button with the photo. - C.M Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
