City that never sleeps (During finals weeks) 2011-05-12 - Looking at SW Corner, Columbia, KY Square - Photo by Ed Waggener. The City that Never Sleeps, for at least 10 days of the year, during Finals Weeks at Lindsey Wilson College, now going on in Downtown Columbia. This midnight scene taken this week is typical of what's been going on with the 24 hour opening of the Cafe on the Square. It's been an upbeat week in Downtown Columbia, with busy activity at the corner of Burkesville and the Public Square, where the old Mitzi's/Firestone Building is being remodelled by Farm2Furniture, where buzz is focused on the renovation of the Columbian Theatre, where new tenants are moving into Wid Harris' building in the 400 Quadrant of the City, where Spring Weather and good food, including a recent Fried Chicken Day at Moore's and crowds of diners on the street, have made Downtown Columbia, the "Happening Place" former Columbia Mayor Pat Bell so often referred to. We've got that going for us. And Sue Stivers has reported to the Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Authority that a major thrust of the C/AC Tourism Commission will be readying Columbia for tour busses, which, according to information she gained at a recent seminar on the subject, mean an average of $10,000 each time one stays overnight. So we have that going for us. -Ed Waggener Permalink | Comments?
