Enjoying Annex Micro-Park in Downtown Columbia, KY 2012-03-29 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. It doesn't take dozens or hundreds of acres for a park - though that's great when it's available. Tony, Toni, and their son, Hunter Akins were enjoying a micro park - just a picnic table on a sidewalk, next to the Monroe Street entrance to the Adair Annex parking lot. It's a favorite place for employees of the Annex and nearby businesses, but the general public is more than welcome to make use of it, Judge Ann Melton said. "In fact," she said, "we always try to give preference to taxpayers - they made it possible. The Adkins were in town with Hunter, a sixth grader at Adair County Elementary School, who had been under the weather today. But he was feeling better after sharing his favorite Mexican food, a burrito, on a picnic. The spot offers some delightful views of a church steeple, the Blue Barn and in spring, a gorgeous dogwood tree, and of the year round magic of of Arbor Vitae Hill - or Lindsey, to late to planet Adair folk.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Tanglewood and Mossy Banks 2012-03-29 - Bull Run Creek, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. It's no wonder Bull Road Road is the favorite biker, hiker, motorcycle and slow moving sightseer vehicle route near town. This stretch, barely three tenths of a mile off busier KY 206, is easily seen from the road paralleling the stream, but wildflowers are so profuse that the tanglewood and moss lined banks - even the gentle riffles and tiny falls - are seldom seen without a purposeful watch.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Some great old families 2012-03-29 - 315 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A lot of great old Adair County families here Kelsay and Moore in the foreground, Pages, a large number of Cheathams, and Hancocks. Eubanks, Smiths and more - great families whose generations have been a big part of the bedrock of life here. So many stones carry memories, just one to share in this cutline. No one ever loved doing what they did more than the late James Lewis Moore when he was Columbia Water Superintendent. He loved to take a glass of cold water, straight from the tap, draw a big swallow, and say, "RC! - Good old Russell Creek." At that time, all the water distributed in Columbia was from Russell Creek, but in later years even Columbia city water was augmented with water from Green River Lake.
