It's art 2013-01-23 - Taylor Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A carefully tended bit of street art remains on Taylor Street in Columbia, KY, across the road from the Jackman High School memorial. It's in a neatly maintained neighborhood. It's precious. And it's obvious that someone knows what to leave alone, what needs a human hand to give it the appearance of chance, but, in reality, is carefully landscaped. One wonders what the story of the old pickup is? Who owned it. How it came to rest and rust so well. We found it when revisiting the Jackman High site with Mrs. Marcum, who remembered that her friend, Lovie Kinnaird from Edmonton, KY, had gone to school there. Linda had wanted to get a different view of another fascinating old truck she often sees from the Columbia Post Office and wanted to photograph, but thought this one might be the ultimate of its genre. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

32 is only inscription on exterior of bell 2013-01-22 - 350 Gen. John Adair Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. ColumbiaMagazine.com's story about the bell from the old Columbia Graded & High School has been one of the most commented on pieces of the past week, but most of the information received has been about the man associated with the bell, the beloved custodian of the school, Joe Taylor, Sr. There is little to go on, at present about the origins of the bell: What foundry cast it, when it was installed above the balcony area of the school auditorium. And, to add to the mystery, the only inscription on the exterior is the number 32, apparently the height in inches of the massive bell. Adair County School District Maintenance Director says the giant nuts at the top of the photo are hand made. Any information will be appreciated. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
