Bid approved to begin phase one for walking track 2022-02-08 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com archives. There was only one bid received at Monday night's City Council meeting to do phase one of the grounds development on what is being called, for now, the Burkesville Street Park. The bid was for just under $40,000 from former owner John Brockman and was approved. The 17-acre property could be called the Ralph Hurt Park, or the Pam Foust Park for the most recent family to live there, or it could be called the Chimneys Park to reflect all that is left of the historic home after it burned while efforts were being made by the City to save it.

But for me to stumble upon this carpet of Groundcedar glistening green beneath an early February, mid-day sun is always a Winter favorite.

Postcards from LWC: Saira Mushtaq 2022-02-07 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Saira Mushtaq. By Dakota Smith Hello everyone! Meet Saira Mushtaq from Karachi, Pakistan. Saira chose Lindsey Wilson College because of our motto, "Every Student, Every Day," and she feels this speaks for itself. Her favorite place that she has visited since she arrived in the U.S. only a few weeks ago was Multnomah Falls, Oregon. "It was the most beautiful sight I had seen in the U.S." The hardest adjustment she had to make living in America was the food because, in her country, people use extra spices that make the food more flavorful. She shared that "Karachi has the spiciest yet the most delicious food in the whole country. Nothing can beat my country's food! There is so much variety, and the spice level is the best!" She says that "unless tears roll down our eyes due to the spice, it's no fun!" Please welcome Saira! Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
