Adair Co. Salutes Dakota Meyer: Main arteries clogged 2011-10-03 - Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo aerial photograph by Alan Reed and Perry Parrish. Well before the event started and before the spectators and participants jamed Blue Raider Stadium - the bright blue oval in the upper right corner of the photograph, vehicles bound for the event had already converged to clog Jamestown south of Russell Road and Russell Road on both sides of the Robert L. Miller Drive entrance to Lindsey Wilson Sports Park. And this was before the long rolling procession was joined at the Intersection of Russell Road and Jamestown Street, mid point on left side of photo. For three point orientation: The lower right corner shows the Columbia Best Western and the Storage barns, with their distinctive Blue Roofs. On the mid point at left, there's Franklin Nissan, Nation's Medicine, the Five-Star and Michael Stephens' Office Park Development. Smack dab in the center is Tractor Supply, to Dickey's BBQ, with it's bright yellow sign standing out; and in the upper right are the bridges over Russell Creek on KY 80 and the Louie B. Nunn, and to the left of that, the Ironweed Bottoms on Dr. Webb's place. Also, the large gray parking area beside the cellphone tower is the huge, now graveled Gaston Avenue Parking lot, which will accommodate some 300 cars. The Blue Topped structure next to it is a Joe Pyles' project everybody is watching to see if he'll make a go of this one, bless his heart. And, oh yes, in the upper left can be seen another Mike Stephens project, his new little house, to the right of which is the parking area of Westlake Regional Hospital. That's just part of what's going on in this aerial shot taken on a perfect day on the ground, but a difficult flying one. Permalink | Comments?
