Favorite old photo: When Greensburg, KY got streetlights 2011-09-09 - Greensburg, KY - Photo from collection of Larry Smith. Larry Smith, Operations manager for the Big Dawg, 99.9 FM sends one of his favorite old photos, showing when 'lectric street lights came to the Greensburg Square in 1953. The photo is looking from N. Main Street to South Main. On the left is the historic Old Green County Courthouse. The tall building on the right is the famous Woodson Lewis Building. "The Starndard Station is the old Ephraim Berry Station. It was also the Greyhound Bus Station," Larry remembers. "The station/bus stop was a favorite hangout when we snuck off from high school. I remember one time we alost took a bus to Chicago. Later, the station became a Texaco branded one; and later still, it was City Hall."

Travel: Corbins tour remaining KY covered bridges 2011-09-09 - Homebase: Ebenezer, Green Co., KY - Photo by Judy Corbin. COVERED BRIDGES of KENTUCKY By Judy Corbin Over the summer, Glenn and I, traveled across KY to see the last 13 remaining covered bridges of KY. Here is a collage to show each bridge that we visited. I would encourage anyone who likes to travel the backroads to take this journey. We began our journey from Greensburg on Day 1 (July 1, 2011) and went to: 1) Walcott (or White's Bridge) located in Bracken County; 2) Valley Pike Bridge in Mason County; 3) Dover Bridge in Mason County; 4) Cabin Creek Bridge in Lewis County; 5) Bennett's Mill Bridge in Greenup County; 6) Oldtown Bridge in Greenup County (also drove by the homeplace of Jesse Stuart while in Greenup County); After spending the night in Morehead, we began Day 2 of our trek by visiting the following: 7) Grange City or Hillsboro Bridge in Fleming County; 8) Ringos Mill in Fleming County--the pot of flowers was beside this bridge and the others in Fleming Co. as well; 9) Goddard Bridge also in Fleming County; 10) Johnson Creek Bridge in Robertson County; 11) Colville Bridge in Bourbon County; 12) Switzer Bridge in Franklin County; and our final bridge was Beech Fork Bridge in Washington County. I thought it was neat to learn that it was the longest covered bridge in Kentucky - made of two span Burr Truss each being 102 feet long (and it was located in the county nearest to us ). Great trip to enjoy the scenery as well as historical bridges. I bet it would really be a neat trip in the fall. -Judy Corbin.
