The Top 10 Worst Kept Secrets in Columbia

There aren't a lot of details available, and most of it is not official, but most of this report has already made the coffee drinking rounds. Still, you might find the list getting more interesting down the page.
#10 - That in 2007, the biggest shortage in Columbia may be hotel rooms, because of other developments listed below.
#9 - That Lindsey Wilson College will likely drop intense efforts to acquire the VFW Fairgrounds, because it is no longer needed.



#8 - That a major area player, with stores in Columbia, has already committed to build a large gas & convenience store at the intersection of new KY 61 and the Louie B. Nunn Parkway.
#7 - That Wal-Mart is negotiating to build a super center at the northeast intersection of new KY 61 and the Louie B. Nunn Parkway. That it would be at least 100,000 square feet, and that a target date is sometime in late 2006 or early 2007.
#6 - That there are multiple sites on Highway 61 which may become office parks.
#5 - That Lindsey Wilson will shortly announce the acquisition of 22 acres on the Louie B. Nunn which will be the site of a new football stadium that can be accessed from Gaston Avenue, Hughes Street, or Russell Road.
#4 - That the shopping center on the Dohoney farm, most recently owned by the Frank Holladay heirs, will be called "Holladay Place," or "Holiday Place."
#3 - That a major effort will be announced by a private group this week to reward the Adair County Marching Band members with a significant commemorative gift, letting the members know how much the community appreciates their achievement.
#2 - That a full-page ad in the county paper will jump start the drive to pass the Nickel Tax. That the ad sponsor has clout, is highly influential, and his support might well tip the momentum in favor of the tax.
#1 - That Lindsey Wilson will soon announce a Marching Band Program that is being touted the biggest thing to happen at the school since the college went from a two-year junior college offering associates degrees to a four-year institution offering bachelor degrees.
