Mysterious volunteer 2022-07-15 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. I discovered this volunteer plant where no garden had ever been - no idea what brought the seed to this spot. I'm not sure whether the pretty yellow flower indicates a squash of some kind or cucumber. If any CM gardener recognizes it, I'd appreciate knowing what to expect. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Getting a new sign 2022-07-15 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The 20-year-old Columbia Training and Development Center building on Burkesville Street is getting a new sign and brick washing this summer. The City is pictured removing the old sign which had weathered and faded. A new sign will replace it in that spot, or may be placed in a different spot on the property. Directors of the three partners that run the Center - EDA, Chamber and Tourism - will meet and make that decision. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
