Dennis Loy: We've got their backs covered, they have ours 2012-12-08 - South Columbia Avenue, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith, FM 99.9 . Dennis Loy, in a rare sad mood revealing photo. "This time we get to reciprocate. Next time, they'll do the same for us. We've got their backs covered this time. They will be in Adair County anytime we have to have their services," he said. It was an acknowledgement of a decades old mutual response between the Adair and Campbellsville Fire Department, back to the time Campbellsville shifted the course in the tragic Adair Hotel Fire in the 1970s, when without a call, the CFD showed up on the Square in Columbia. Mr. Loy said. "There's no county line here. There won't be any bill. There's never one when Campbellsville aids us. "This is a brotherhood," he said. And I'll never forget my pride when I heard the relief in a voice from the first to spot them the CFD's arrival. "Columbia's here!" he shouted.

Scenic Metcalfe Co., KY: The Courthouse at Christmas time 2012-12-08 - Edmonton, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. And this isn't even the prettiest side The restored historic Metcalfe County Courthouse is situated in the middle of a parklike campus in the center of Downtown Edmonton. The photo is from the back side, with a peek on the right toward the new Metcalfe Judicial Center, on the one time site of Polson-Van Zant Hardware. Benches on the campus are sufficient for almost every day, and broad sidewalks make cuts through, around, and across safe and easy. Because of strategic stops at all but one entrances to the Square, speed is rarely an issue for pedestrians anywhere. We're hoping to have a photo from the other side - the prettier one with the entrance to the meeting room and the back lit bell, later this season, hoping that someone will send one soon. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
