Bridge widening soon? Magistrate Sammy Baker thinks so 2012-03-19 - KY 55 S. Hwy at Glensfork Creek, Old Zion, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Third District Magistrate Sammy Baker says he's getting word that the long awaited and desperately needed widening of the KY 55 South Road bridge over Glensfork Creek in his district will soon take place. According to Magistrate Baker, the bridge and the approaches will both be widened; the bridge won't be removed and replaced. The red flag, center left edge of photo, indicates where widening may be to take place south of the bridge. The photo was taken from KY 55 South Road at Montpelier Road/KY 92, in the center of downtown Zion, home of the historic Zion Baptist Church and school, now a part of the Gaddie Shamrock Stone County, and Melson Roofing.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Blue sky for roof, blue sky for walls 2012-03-19 - Harrodsfork Loop, South Adair Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Even if beautiful young people are accidents of nature and beautiful old people are works of art, the same may not be true in the case of beautiful old barns, old structures: It took everything to make this masterpiece of beauty: An gifted original builder, enlightened neglect, and works of nature to bring this gray barn with blue sky for a roof, blue sky for a wall. It's located on the east side of one of the prettiest scenic byways in Adair County, Harrodsburg Loop, which begins and ends on KY 61 between Sparksville and Breeding, Kentucky. -Ed Waggener.
