Scenic Green Co., KY: My Greensburg/Home. Going home corner 2012-05-20 - N. Main & Hodgenville Street, Greensburg, KY - Photo by Larry Smith. Larry Smith/My Greensburg: If there is one thing I love about my home county, it is the way wonderful things - historic landmark treasures - have an eternal quality. They never change. This corner is one of those treasures for me. It represents strength, stability, and, in a way nobility. The Greensburg Presbyterian Church has been home to so many great Greensburg families. Its masonry always reminds me of Thomas Metcalfe, the Kentucky governor who is so associated with my home county. And the home across the street, that's the Woodson Lewis House - a veritable mansion to a boy from Summerville - and the home of an iconic Green County business family, the Lewises. Lewises and Durhams - those are merchant deities to Green Countians to this day. This intersection represented something else, it was the the indelible marking place going home, home to Summerville. I've learned that the corner had the same effect on folks using the road to get to Louisville - from Edmonton, Columbia, Burkesville, Albany, and Russell County. Some of the older folks tell me their cars seem to automatically go for this turning lane, even though the 'big road' - the main road, is now the turn north by the IGA shopping center, a mile east of this turn. I hope this place never changes. It means so much to me. - Larry Smith, as told to Ed Waggener. Larry Smith is Operations Manager of the Big Dawg, 99.9FM, Campbellsville, KY.
