Ice cream, burgers, dogs, tater tots and more... 2025-06-11 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy Mike Watson, via facebook from Bobby Drummer Coffey. Mike Watson writes, "If you remember, then you remember! Whether you remember it as the Tasty Freeze, the Tasty Twirl, or the Hungry Hound, this icon of Fairground Street has a warm spot in your heart, a throwback to yesteryear. It was operated by several individuals over its lifespan, originally by L.W. Cole, the Arvin Burris family, Thelbert Curry, and as the Hungry Hound by Jack Garrett. This photo should bring back many memories. Located across the street from the entrance to the Old Adair County Fairgrounds, it was loved by all and well remembered."

Butterfly: Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 2025-06-11 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. The onslaught of cicadas has affected more than just people this year. I've seen tons of birds snacking on them, but the butterflies seem to have been landing closer to people more often, maybe just because all the usual available perches have been so full of Brood XIV.
