Churches of Adair Co., KY: Santa Fee Baptist, from afar 2012-04-25 - Burkesville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The historic Santa Fee Baptist Church, on Burkesville Road (now in the process of being renamed Wheeler Hill Road), is an inspiring sight from any direction, but nowhere more so than from afar midway up Jobe Hill on Lasley Road; and in no season more than these shades of deep green days of Spring. The church has been home to many distinguished Adair Countians, and was once visited by the mother of Muhammad Ali - then Cassius Clay who descended from the Gradys of Santa Fee and Gradyville, KY. The road by the side of the church leads to a beautifully preserved Rosenwald School, out of sight in this photo. The pavement was once part of Jones Chapel Road, but now new Jones Chapel Road can be seen by the lower orange and white traffic barrel. Jones Chapel Road now enters old Burkesville Road soon to be Wheeler Hill Road exactly opposite Hughes Road. The traffic barrel highest on the page is on new KY 61 S, the Chattanooga Highway.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: The view from Jessie's Fruit Market 2012-04-25 - Jessie Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The view from Jessie's Fruit Market on Jessie Street, Columbia, KY has been a kaleidoscope of change in the past decade - accelerated in the past year, with continuous changes on adjoining Hurt Street, office park, and Jamestown Street. It's all part of a boom of a retail, medical, and retail shopping area In Walking Distance of Lindsey Wilson College. This view from Jessie's in the foreground sweeps over the new John & Stacy Loy office building; over Hurt Street, then the roof tops of Office Park to the red brick operations building and Main Bank of United Citizens Bank of Southern Kentucky, at the corner of Heskamp and Jamestown Street. Quite a change from the 1950s when most of the land was town fields, the majority of it in the Ballard Addition, but including one time E. Campbell, Miranda Williams. Dr. B.J. and Carrie Bolen, Joe Barnes, and George Simpson properties. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
