Franklin Theatre show calendar 2012-03-28 - N. Main Street, Greensburg, KY - Photo by Larry Smith. Larry Smith, Operations Manager for The BIG DAWG 99.9 FM, Campbellsville, KY recently added this old show calendar to his vast collection of historic photographs and memorabilia. He writes, "This theatre closed in 1968. The last picture show was Walt Disney's The Jungle Book. The theatre now is home to a very good Chinese Restaurant. I was never the projectionist at this theatre, as I was at the Summersville Skyline. However, that's probably a coincidence and not the only reason why the drive-in in Summersville is thriving today and the Franklin is a restaurant. Like some many Green Countians, I have many great memories of times at The Franklin." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Butterflies: First yellow swallowtail, March 27, 2012 2012-03-28 - Gradyville, KY - Photo by Elizabeth Fausnaugh. The warm weather here in Gradyville had forced an early bloom of my Lilacs. As I was admiring them this evening, Tuesday, March 27, 2012, I noticed movement in amongst the blossoms and, low and behold, there was the first Yellow Swallowtail of 2012 that I had seen. I grabbed the camera to obtain visual proof! I guess summer is just around the corner. - Betsy Fausnaugh Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
