Pablo's Mexican Grill got a little more Mexican today 2011-11-28 - 104 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Attorney Hunter Durham left and Oilman Sammy Taylor, were among the first to be seated at one of the all new tables at Pablo's Mexican Grill. Owners Jose Antonio Aquino and Teresa Aquino replaced all the tables and chairs this Monday morning, November 28, 2011 with tables and chairs manufactured in Mexico, each with a different individual design. It may have been the furniture, it may have been the rain, it may have been the special 15% discount or the food on Mondays, but whatever, the place was packed this morning. Could be, too, that Downtown Columbia has just gone past the tipping point on revitalization, it's now the Happening Place Mayor Patrick Bell always said it was, and that the momentum is unstoppable.

The Whitehurst Diaries: Sunset as Cranes go out of sight 2011-11-27 - Old Gradyville Road, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst.
