We fly the flag: on Jamestown Hill, Columbia, KY 2017-06-18 - Jamestown Hill, from United Citizens Bank world headquarters campus - Photo by Ed Waggener, camera bearer, composition directed by Linda. This photo was taken from what I know as Russell & Lorene & Susan Russell's front yard. The scene entails what may be the most expensive real estate, today, in Adair County. Maybe not as high as the some in adjoining counties, but using CJE Mike Stephens' reasoning, it's the ground center for commercial property 'in walking distance of Lindsey Wilson College.' Above, it's the scene is a reminder of the coming Fourth of July. Photographers are alway reminded of one of the hardest hues to capture without bleed - red. For those out-of-warranty, particular those enjoying their withering years social security checks, free for now from health care worries, and are at peace with their creator, they may remember what once was, counterclockwise from left: 705 Jamestown Street and the two and a half story white house from whence our tribe sprang; next door, the beautiful, screened porch and spirea enhance home of Mayor Ralph Willis, his wife Ruth Hill Willis and their daughter, Hilda Joyce; and on the Franklin Nissan Corner there was absolutely unforgettable home of 'Miss' Hattie Eubank and later the wonderful Melson family; and time warp picture of what is now CVS Pharmacy - the dominant red on the corner, where once Adair Builders Supply, the Wilkerson or Wilkinson/Clyde & Anna Cole Young, and their boy, W. Darrell Young lived, and finally, the Standard Oil Station from which Charles Giles of G & G launched his enterprises which still thrive, elsewhere, to this day. Some will see other places, but that's what we saw out looking for We Fly the Flag photos, and to find a little bit of the memories needing to be recorded for a day in history. - EW Permalink | Comments?
