The best spot to watch the concert . . . parade . . . speaking 2012-10-14 - 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo from the collection of Fay McKinley. No doubt about it The Rowe family was royalty when big downtown events happened in Columbia, similar to the just ended Downtown Days. This photo appears to be a mid 1960s one. It's of the Hotel Miller owners and family and or guests seated above the Square for some event. Two people are distinctly identifiable, Mr. Owen Rowe is the man at right, standing in the window, and near the right, Mr. and Mrs. Haskin Rowe and child. Maybe someone else can identify the others. Today, the vantage point would be a good one for listening to concerts from the Main Stage of the Rusty Nail, but would be behind the temporary building. It would have been absolutely perfect for watch the crowd. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
