Business News: Planet Acoustic painting and signage in place 2019-03-04 - Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The signs on the snowy white Planet Acoustic building are just banners for now while the Lindsey family owners await individual letters that are being crafted. Planet Acoustic promises all things musical from this very musical family. They join other businesses on the southwest corner of the Public Square - Nanwood Market, Harris Law Offices and Red Brick recording studio (also a music business). To the left are First & Farmers Bank and Lindsey Wilson College. Far right is the Bank of Columbia. The green building in the corner is vacant. The rainy Sunday afternoon kept parking and traffic at bay long enough for the picture to be taken. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

RIDES: Bobby Pelston wins election bet over Chirpy Nell 2019-03-03 - Public Square, Columbia, KY, in front of the Barber Shop on the corner of Campbellsville Street and the Square - Photo Columbia Statesman/Adair County News archive by Paul Hayes, 1980, shared by Carolyn Plahuta. VICTORY RIDE is the information on this photo from back when Lerman's was an active store, in back of these dudes on the public square in Columbia. Paul Hayes wrote, "Wheelbarrows have never really caught on as a normal mode of transportation, but for paying off a bet, they can't be beat. Before last week's presidential election, Adair County school bus drivers Bobby Pelston, riding, and Chirpy Nell, pushing, made a bet on who would be the next president, with the loser having to give the winner a ride around the square in a wheelbarrow. So, when Bobby's Republican candidate Ronald Reagan defeated Chirpy's Democrat Jimmy Carter, Chirpy paid off by wheeling Bobby around town Saturday afternoon." (The late Paul Hayes, editor, and his mentor, the late Ed Waggener, publisher, wrote extensively about politics in the 1970s and 1980s.)
