Downtown People: Mike the Breadman gets Square underway 2012-12-07 - Fountain Plaza, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Mike the Breadman was leaving the Square this morning after getting Moore's Lunch & Poolroom underway with fresh buns and light bread and getting tons of advice from one of Moore's breakfast clubs, Sara Lee Bread comes from London, from the old Kern's Bakery. It's good bread, and really good with a dollar sausage, mustard, and light bread sandwich at Moore's. Cheaper too. The same sausage with homemade biscuits at Moore is a delicacy - and priced as such. And, speaking of bread, Joe L. Barbee said he'd seen Bunny Bread in his travels somewhere, lately.

Western Auto - Remember when Christmas was spelled this way 2012-12-07 - South Central Kentucky - Photo by Randall Smith. A lot of South Central Kentuckians remember when Western Auto, at this time of the year, was as synonymous with Christmas as Ben Franklin, Firestone, Munson's, and the Louisville Store were back then or Walmart is today. It was the place where Santa bought those shiny Western Flyer bicycles. The sign above adorned a building now undergoing adaptive reuse, (which I'll post later on CM) with information about this sign and the building. In the meantime, I'm wondering 1) how many of the towns around us had Western Auto's - you'd think they would be as essential as courthouses, Baptist Churches, and Dairy Queens to have a proper town - or 2) If anyone remembers the proprietors/owners, of the stores in order of ownership, in each of the proper towns which had the stores. Let me know, or send the information to CM. The photograher's shadow is that of my brother, Randall Smith. - Larry Smith, Operations Manager, 99.9 FM, the Big Dawg, Campbellsville, KY Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
