Epicurean Kentuckian: Chocolate Pie with sky high meringue 2013-12-05 - 104 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Leticia Paris. The Sky High Meringue may make one nostalgic for Angel's Cafe, of Elaine & Trilby years, or Kay Burton's confections, or most likely, the pies your mother made. This one was baked by Tish Paris at TaP's, who thought, rightly so, it merited hanging in the Epicurean Kentuckian gallery of yumptious desserts. She had a hard time deciding between the chocolate one she made and a sky high butterscotch twin peak of pie. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Another victim - a killed sign - on Columbia Square 2013-12-05 - Public Square at Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A tractor-trailer truck knocked over the stop sign at the Greensburg Street entrance to the Square. The truck didn't stop, but one would assume that the driver just moved to a place where he/she could call in and report the incident and pay for the damage. The incident occurred at around 11amCT, Thursday morning, in front of God the whole town including Charles Grimsley and me. Some of the Downtown People didn't see it, but most heard it. - Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
