Mike Watson favorite old photo: Young's Rexall and more 2017-01-06 - Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo from the collection of Mike Watson, Adair County historian. Garnett Young's Rexall Drug, corner of the Public Square and Greensburg Street, 1963. Historian Mike Watson thinks this ad from an Adair County High School Annual, may trigger memories in some of the old folks in Columbia. It's recognizable today, but the building in the center was a pharmacy, not Photo Video, the next building was not Grimsley's Jewelry, and you couldn't get a fajita in the next one. And in those days, they weren't marking tires to keep people from overparking, there were meters which had to be fed, tickets for those who didn't pay - and those who were in danger of a summons often headed to see the city judge and make a settlement.

Larry Smith wiser after breakfast this morning 2017-01-06 - Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith, FM 92.7 the Big Dawg. This morning after the radio broadcast I stumbled into these two fine attorneys, Hunter Durham and Barry Bertram, so I joined them for breakfast. These men have many stories and experiences and as always I got educated again today just by sitting at the table listening. The two are great historians and tell the most fascinating stories about life's journey, I just feel inclined to remind our young generation to sit and listen to our seniors, it will add to your wisdom category or you might just get up from the table and feel like you learned something. --LJS Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
