In the background, the tenth load of fill dirt from Burton Paving has been hauled by the Adair County Road Department to fill in a low spot on the infield which pooled water because of a poor grade. While the field is built to competition specs for softball tournaments, it will also be multi-purpose and will be used for baseball, as well.

Every Step of the Way 2012-06-19 - 201 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Barbara Armitage. This message of love and devotion written on the Trabue House steps is all that remains of a recent wedding held in the Julia Miller Horton Memorial Rose Garden. Although it was meant for two unknown lovers the ladies of the Adair County Garden Club who maintain the gardens at the Trabue House find it comforting. Keeping the roses blooming through the blistering heat of our Kentucky summer is no easy task. Committed volunteers from the ACGC are hard at work every Tuesday morning making sure that the gardens are flourishing. If you are interested in holding your event at the Trabue House contact the Columbia Mayor's Office at 270-384-6183. -Barbara Armitage Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Downtown: A changing look out a Firestone window 2012-06-19 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The deleted Firestone Building window offers a brief window to inspect the intricate masonry work of the solid brick wall in the historic building. The Red Nixon construction company is moving at a fast pace to transform the fire gutted structure into a state-of-the-art recording studio for Mr. Mike Harris and his partner, Danny Bailey. Mr. Nixon, known for great craftsmanship, is also known for getting things done. In no time - maybe not as brief a time as it took him to fire a 30 foot shot the first time he got his hands on the ball when Mr. Burr put him in the game as a substitute, that usually took just seconds - he'll have the building complete and it will be the center of pride in a revived downtown Columbia. And come to think of it - Red will have luck or the good fortune that those who prepare for it always do. He had it back then. As most recall, he almost always hit those 30 foot shots and was the hero of the game. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
