Saturday morning drama on Columbia Public Square 2012-03-24 - 300 Quadrant of Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Yes, there is a story here, with the placement of temporary boards across the doorway of Columbia's historic Russell Building, in the center of the picture. The doorway was smashed after a car, coming from the Burkesville Street side of the Square, took a straight path into the doorway; on its way it struck a white pickup truck entering the Square from Jamestown Street. The driver was injured and moved from the scene by the Adair County EMS. The collision incident was investigated by the Columbia Police Department; also on the scene were the Adair County Search and Rescue Team, providing traffic control, and Adair County Deputy Sheriff Aaron Rainwater. The Columbia Police Department is expected to release a full report on the incident no later than Monday, March 26, 2012. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Cumberland Parkway, US68 interchange coming soon 2012-03-24 - US 68 overpass, Cumberland Parkway, Edmonton, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Word out of Edmonton directly from the spokesmother of Metcalfe County Judge Greg Wilson, is that the Interchange on the Louie B. Nunn/Cumberland Parkway for US 68, the Greensburg Road, is coming sooner than had been earlier anticipated. The interchange is badly needed, she said, especially by the many semi trucks with deliveries to the Metcalfe County Industrial Park, many of which now have to go through the Edmonton Square to to get to the parkway. The interchange will also greatly shorten the distance between Edmonton, Columbia, Russell Springs, and Somerset, KY. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
