Another view of Progress and What's Not There Anymore 2012-04-08 - Russell Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Leo's Motel, in a reiteration remains as Lakeway Apartments at the corner of Glen Mary and Russell Road, but time travellers from the Far East, from Royville, Russell Springs, and Roanoke, might be startled to be greeted by only blue sky where the Grider Building, old K & F, and Central Kentucky Realty lately stood. The buildings are being razed for a new CVS Pharmacy, coming later this year. For the few who were around in the 1960's and don't remember, the late Leo Wheatley had the Lakeway Motel built by the late H.H. "Holland" Harvey, strategically located across the street from the Circle R. At the time, Columbia still had the Hotel Miller, Luther and Dorothy Collins Dreamland Motel had been built, and Hughes Court was operated by Cornelia Hughes. Soon Community Trust Bank will move from its Russell Road location to the Jamestown Street site formerly occupied by Long John Silvers, which is also Not There Anymore.
