Last chance to bid farewell to an Old Friend: Long John's


2012-01-23 - 1003 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY. - Photo by Ed Waggener.
Columbia Street Department Superintendent Donnie Rowe tipped us off that the Long John Silver's had been reduced to a recyclable pile of rubble by Danny Pyles Excavating, and this picture was taken to document that page of history on a rainy Sunday morning, January 22, 2012. Pretty soon the restaurant building will removed and will go through a recycling sorting process and, Rowe said, "Everything will find a new use," including the wood, glass, and metal. Likely with little fanfare, the sign will be down soon. And, as if in time lapse photography, the segment of Jamestown Hill which was once Mr. Petty's pasture field will be transformed into a new bank - officially not announced. The yellow roofed building at 1001 Jamestown Street is the Dickey's BBQ of Columbia, KY, and to the right is the back of Bradshaw's Shoe Repair on Gaston Avenue, which has gained added importance lately as the main entrance to a huge parking lot nearest Blue Raider Stadium at the Lindsey Wilson Sports Park.

Breakfast is "back" at the new Circle R. Back the way people remember them: Cooked to order and served by familiar faces with smiles. Megan Coffey is an important part of the staff at the new Circle R. Makes one want to pin a huge Sylvia Hospitality Award corsage on her. And if she seems like a step back in time when Peggy and Vonda and Sylvia and Dean and so many others who Connected with Customers in a special way, it may be just because you learn that she's good people from a long line of good - her grandfather is Richie Janes, one of Adair County's all-time most admired citizens.

Camp Gilbert Boyle at this location?


2012-01-22 - Parrott Ave & Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
From information readers are sending us Camp Boyle - mentioned in Derek Coomer's history positing that the real pivotal battle of the Civil War was fought in South Central Kentucky and that Columbia played a major role in strategic Union Army placement - was likely right here, on what today constitutes the Barbee lands, north of Russell Creek. Readers base the location on information derived from Betty Jane Gorin's great Civil War Book, "Morgan is Coming." The other Adair County Union encampment Derek Coomer mentions, Camp Billy Williams, is at a location well established in general historical scholarship, on Dunnville Road in Adair County. Those sending the supporting evidence for Camp Boyle suggest that it began on the north bank of Russell Creek, but none have yet suggested the boundaries, just that it was on fairly level ground.

Columbia, KY, is a 24 hour a day Happening Town now: In fact it always has been. People are working around the clock in law enforcement, at Westlake Regional Hospital, at the Superwalmart, at the convenient stores, at the jails, at emergency medical services. Students are studying at all hours. People are coming and going from sports events and card games. Now, night people have an additional place to get away, to have meal anytime they want to, with familiar faces. The Circle R, 712 Russell Road, Columbia, KY is open again and with one thing it's never had before, 24 hour service. At 4amCT, Sunday morning, Megan Coffey, left, and Erin Bailey had a rare moment to chat after a busy wee hours Sunday morning.
