Epicurean Kentuckian: A bit of Vienna, in Columbia, KY 2013-06-12 - 212 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo from Cafe on the Square. The Cafe on the Square is having a soft opening this morning, with some pretty incredible new to Columbia foods. This is a rich, flaky crusted Apple Strudel, proclaimed superb by one of the first to sample manager Steve Chundy's creation - his unbiased father in law, Paul McEachren of Gradyville, KY. The restaurant reopened this morning under its original owner, Ellen Hingle, with Steve Chundy heading management. Townsfolk were busy visiting with the Hingles, and many of the Cafe on the Square's management from the last three years were there to wish the coffee shop well. At the outset, the cafe will be open for breakfast and lunch. The Cafe on the Square: Hours. Monday through Friday, 7amCT-3pmCT. Closed Saturday & Sunday. 212 Public Square, Downtown Columbia, KY.

The White Monumental Bollard is White for June Dairy Day 2013-06-12 - 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. "The Courthouse is Adair County's Brass Rail", Dr. John Begley often said. "It ought to be maintained as a symbol, as the brass rail on the Administration Building steps is maintained as a symbol at Lindsey Wilson." And so it seems, today, after Columbia Street Superintendent Donnie Rowe trimmed the curb in white paint, and, especially, painted the Monumental White Bollard protecting the corner of the Historic Courthouse from errant semi trucks, is now. The signage is neat, with the TheatreFest banner tastefully appended. And perhaps, in keeping with Government Neutralization, the enigmatic arrows which send a motorist the wrong way around the square are fittiing in a town with enigmatic, rather 1930s Teutonic inspired flag and its slogan, "Looking Backward to Forge Ahead," (or some such), letting the world know that the Leonard Wibberly fictional monarchy, the Duchy of Fenwick with its two headed eagle - one saying Yea, the other Nay - has nothing on Adair County. In any case, through the efforts of CJE Ann Melton, Mayor Mark Harris and the Adair Heritage Association, the Courthouse will be bright for June Dairy Day/Farmers Market on the Square, Saturday, June 15, 2013. - CM Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The Courthouse: Through the storm, through the night 2013-06-12 - 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The Historic Adair County Courthouse is showing steady progress Ellen Zornes told the Adair County Fiscal CourtThis photo was taken the night before the meeting, as a summer storm was clearing Monday evening, June 10, 2013, an icon as symbolic of a bright new day to Adair Countians as a rainbow is to the world, shone brightly against stormy skies. Not everything was in sync: Major touchups to the curbing was completed on June 11, 2013, courtesy Columbia Mayor Mark D. Harris and carried out by City Streets Superintendent Donnie Rowe. The TheatreFest Banner had not been put in place heralding a cultural series which may just be the big news of the year. And the Baptist Church Chimes weren't playing "Lead Me On, Precious Lord," but all in all, a great moment in Downtown Columbia. - EW.
