Joe Moore scans Columbia skyline, spots unusual chimneys



2008-05-12 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.

Many of the old buildings in Downtown Columbia have chimneys which are treasures in their own right. Special ones to note are on the Old Courthouse. Though possibly no one knows more about the downtown than Mr. Moore, he said it was the first time he'd noticed the chimney.
