Airborne, athletic, acrobatic athletes 2011-03-14 - Monroe ST, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Tyler Sinclair left and Drew Smith, airborne, right were providing an exciting BMX exhibition Sunday evening, March 13, 2011, in the Adair Annex Parking lot and on Monroe Street. Downtown provides a fairly good place for the young men to practice, save for a few motorists who drive in a threatening manner. The nearest BMX parks are in Russell Springs and Bowling Green, they said. There are competitions, and Smith has taken part in one. The weekends offer the best times to ride, they said. Sinclair works full time at a day care center; Smith is an employee of Stephens Pipe & Steel in Russell Springs, KY. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Observant art critic says its an abstract work 2011-03-13 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Tommy Hardison, in town from Gradyville, KY, to visit with friends in the county's capitol city, noted the atypical fenestration treatment in the upper left hand corner of the Adair Annex and declared it simply, "Art. It's abstract art," he said. The offices aren't open on Sunday, so the answer may have to wait until Monday as to whether the work is art or serves a climate control or lighting modification for the Sheriff's Suite.
