CVS signs up for new store at Jamestown Street/Russell Road 2012-04-19 - Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The Darrell Young summit of Jamestown Hill is almost leveled now, flatter'n Waco, and signs for the new CVS Pharmacy building are prominently in place. This one is at the corner of Jamestown Street and Carrie Bolin Drive, about where the driveway to the Oak Tree Basketball Court was located in the 1960s. The other sign can be barely be seen from this point by peeking between this sign and the remains of the one time South Central Mortgage, later the Harris Bros. - Mitch and Wid - Barber Shop on the right. It may be hard to visualize for most of the population of Adair County today, but the steps leading up to the Young residence from Jamestown Street once seemed as much of a challenge as the ones at Lincoln's Birthplace at Hodgenville, KY. The top of the known world, for a townie in those days was two thirds up the northwest corner tree on the Young property; before The Levelization of Adair County began in ernest -correstion: "earnest," Oscar Wilde's to blame! - in the post World War II era.
