    Scenic Adair Co. KY: Another town from Cemetery



    2008-08-01 - Columbia City Cemetery - Photo By Ed Waggener.
    One of the prettiest places to "Walk Around the World" for the Rotary Club is the Columbia City Cemetery. Unfortunately, the Cemetery can only be reached from Wall Street, so the unnatural cul-de-sac created by the Berlin Wall chain on Campbellsville Street, makes it difficult to access. This view, above, shows how solidly North 55 is built up. The prominent lighted sign in the foreground is at Dr. Eric Loy's Clinic. The Hilpp Building can be seen farther out, and the lines of Day & Day Mill Can be seen. Most interesting may be the new green metal roof being constructed on the former KHD barn, now a part of Grider Properties. A Today, August 1, 2008, Picture Album photo

    COLUMBIA PHOTOGRAPHER CHRIS BENNETT shares this most dramatic photo of rehabilitation work on Wolf Creek Dam. He writes, "This is a photo I took on July 19th 2008. Wolf Creek dam looks much different than it did just a couple of years ago. There seemed to be a large amount of activity going on for a Saturday afternoon, although both lanes were open to traffic. I was told Tuesday, that due to on going evaluations, one lane of US 127 was closed again." A Today, August 1, 2008, Picture Album photo
