Smart Car causing quite a stir at Don Franklin Ford 2008-08-28 - Hudson ST, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Don Franklin Ford got its first Smart Car yesterday, Wednesday, August 27, 2008, and Sales Associate Steve Smith says it's caused quite a stir. The diminutive car, built by a Mercedes Benz company, gets 43 mpg on the highway, he says, and well over 30 mpg in town. It's price tag is $23,900 for this 2008 practically new car, he said; but, unlike most Smart Car dealer purchases, there's no waiting on this one vehicle. "At dealerships," he said, "you have to get on a list and wait a year." He said he expects a quick sale, though some of the gawkers get a bit cute. "You need to water it," one looker said.

Biking: Basic transportation for Lindsey Wilson coach 2008-08-28 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. LINDSEY WILSON CYCLING COACH DAVID GRIGSBY regularly bikes--for exercise on 30 mile rides around the county, and for basic transportation in town. For him, it's easier-and much faster--to ride to and from the campus to one of his favorite restaurants, the Cafe on the Square on a bicycle than to use a car. Parking is never a problem, and he isn't taking up space a motoring customer needs. He also operates a bike store in London, KY, so usually he has a variety of bikes to ride. This one is a Giant Cypress aluminum frame 14-speed, which costs around $300 new, to as low as $125 for a used one, he said. Columbia is becoming more and more a bike-friendly community, he said, though educating the public of the importance of Sharing the Road is very important. Read More... | Permalink | Comments?

Remembering Ray Williams: He will be sadly missed

Click Here, Obituary, Ray E. Williams

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

As an associate of Columbia Wal-mart, I would like to say that Ray will be sadly missed at our store. He was a staple there. Every morning he would come and walk and talk to us as we worked. We became accustomed to his smile and kind words. Ray was also always one of the first in attendance at our annual veterans' breakfast. We will miss him.
