Christmas Lights 2017 - Greensburg Street icon 2017-12-19 - Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Nothing is more reassuring to old-timers that Christmas in Columbia's grand tradition continues, than this residence on Greensburg Street. Most of us can't remember when it wasn't brightly lit during the Yuletide season. It always reminds me of our mother, Audrey Chelf Waggener, who's world, most of her life, revolved around a big house on Jamestown Hill. She didn't need to go anywhere to be satisfied with life, save regularly attending services at the Columbia Baptist Church. . . except at Christmas time. If it weren't offered, she requested a trip around town to see the Christmas lights. Any child honored to navigate the town for her, always knew that Greensburg Street would be her biggest delight. I can't remember a time when this house, from the days it was owned by Clay Smith (Bea Beard corrected this; the house above is next door to the former Clay Smith House; she believes that the Huston Rogers family lived in the house at the same time I'm remembering) I believe, didn't draw the most comment. Mom would have loved to see it again, as it appeared last night after the school board met. Thanks, Greensburg Street. - EW. Photo Mon 18, 2017.

Kentucky Color - A sight such as this 2017-12-19 - Green Hills neighborhood, Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, President, Homeplace on Green River. A Sight Such As This By Billy Joe Fudge Poets who've penned "Sunlight filters thru the pine" Certainly had visions but Had not this in mind! Light this frosty morn Rushed o'er earthen shore Like driven frothy surge Of ancient stormy lore. A long winter's night Locked still and dark Is pierced like glass By light but wood'n bark. Each side of Winter's Solstice we only see, A sight such as this, Sunshine through a tree! Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
