Last chance to bid farewell to an Old Friend: Long John's 2012-01-23 - 1003 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY. - Photo by Ed Waggener. Columbia Street Department Superintendent Donnie Rowe tipped us off that the Long John Silver's had been reduced to a recyclable pile of rubble by Danny Pyles Excavating, and this picture was taken to document that page of history on a rainy Sunday morning, January 22, 2012. Pretty soon the restaurant building will removed and will go through a recycling sorting process and, Rowe said, "Everything will find a new use," including the wood, glass, and metal. Likely with little fanfare, the sign will be down soon. And, as if in time lapse photography, the segment of Jamestown Hill which was once Mr. Petty's pasture field will be transformed into a new bank - officially not announced. The yellow roofed building at 1001 Jamestown Street is the Dickey's BBQ of Columbia, KY, and to the right is the back of Bradshaw's Shoe Repair on Gaston Avenue, which has gained added importance lately as the main entrance to a huge parking lot nearest Blue Raider Stadium at the Lindsey Wilson Sports Park.
