Photo Puzzler 299-41607: A pretty water falls 2013-03-01 - ????????? - Photo by Ed Waggener. Where is it? This time we won't require street and number for the location, so many waterfalls just don't have designation; in fact, according to Justin Bailey, 911 Coordinator, he doesn't know of any Adair County waterfall with a street and number. "Some bridges, do," he said, "but to my knowledge no waterfalls have street and number. A pretty obvious answer, considering that everyone already knows that Russell Creek Bridge on KY 206 has this official address, "790 Liberty Road, Columbia, KY." Everybody knows that. To save time, there's another hint: It isn't in Russell County, where the world goes to look for the grandest waterfalls. But it may be in any of the other 7 counties in the Center of the Universe - Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, (Russell), and Taylor Counties. And there are other hints. The requirement in this one is to tell the closest town it's in AND give the reasons why.

Larry Smith: History goes up in flames 2013-03-01 - 152 Tebbs Bend Road, Campbellsville Road, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Tommy Dowell, Jr.. Larry Smith, FM 99.9 The Big Dawg, writes: Tommy Dowell, Jr., sent this picture of the old Civil War Hospital house on Tebbs Bend Road engulfed in fire Thursday evening. The old house has long been an intriguing marking place for southbound travelers along KY 55 between Campbellsville and Columbia and I, for one, appreciate the Dowell family's efforts keep the building standing. It was part of the rich heritage of the Tebb's Bend Battlefield. It's just rubble now. For now, it's made me realize how important the works of the historians trying to preserve and memorialize this important National scene are. A lot of people deserve credit and renewed support, too many to mention - but as a historian, I can't help but mention Betty Jane Gorin-Smith - in my book one of the great authors of all times. - Larry Smith Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
