DAY TRIP: Discovering big road changes in Greensburg By Linda Waggener and Ellen Zornes They say some things never change, but then everything always does. The route from Columbia to Greensburg and home again has been the same for as long as we could remember. Take Highway 61, the "Greensburg Road," from Columbia and make no turns off until you arrive at the historic public house that marks the downtown in the Green County seat. Not anymore, however. Someone somewhere in the vast upper highway department decided to change the routing of traffic at the meeting of Highways 61 and US 68. The hill above the valley where Russell Creek crosses under 61 before wandering around the community of Milltown still offers a breathtaking view, no matter how often you've popped up over it. The rolling countryside between the two towns is still the same, beautiful, even in late winter. The sprawling crop of Daffodils spreading out from the bridge at Clover Lick Creek still sparkles among the winter leaves and weeds. We saw the road construction changes and honored the stop sign where there used to be just a "Y" but thought it was temporary through the completion of the road work. We found our way downtown - tasting, discovering, shopping, and then began our journey home where the real changes on the road became clear. Columbia-bound drivers now have to make a stop where the old "Y" allowed for continued driving. We had to watch the new signs, stop, and make a hard left turn to get on Highway 61. It's very confusing. As a matter of fact, when Columbia Attorney J.D. Zornes reported starting home from his work in Greensburg recently, he noticed that suddenly nothing looked familiar. He glanced at the sun and it was in the right place for him to be heading home - or was it morning instead of afternoon when the sun should be in that spot - none of the landscape looked right. He said he caught himself wondering, "where the heck am I?" He pulled over and consulted the GPS and found the directions. He'd sailed right past the turn and was headed to Sulphur Well. He turned around and became another student of what someone somewhere in the vast upper highway department's decision makers are doing to what used to be the simple "Y".
