    2008-07-31 - Liberty, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.
    The PUBLIC PARKING SIGN at the parking area at the corner of Jockey Street and Middleburg Street diagonally across from Liberty City Hall is bright, memorable, and inviting. Downtown Liberty, always inviting, is being transformed with new street signage, beautiful hanging flowers, a green roofed county government theme, new eateries, and one of South Central Kentucky's prettiest City Halls. The view is West, toward the Liberty Square, toward Campbellsville on KY 70, and toward Columbia via the Old Way, on KY 206. Round trip with short drives around Casey County's beautiful Appalachian foothills, shouldn't take more than a four or five gallons of gas from Columbia. A Today's Best Pictures Album photo.
