Big Chicken: Is there a bigger story here 2011-10-07 - Back from school road to Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. Shamarie writes: "This is not the usual chicken I would stop and take a shot of but thought he was kind of cute!" (Does anybody know if the Big Chicken got to enroll at Lindsey Wilson when he was there? The Big Chicken may have been told to go back to High School and he may have been there, or may have taken a GED and is walking back to town and wondering whether he aced the test or not. His quest for knowledge is becoming legendary. Anybody know?) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Giant chicken seems to be inquisitive, curious creature 2011-10-06 - 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY . People in Columbia, KY have sent several reports to CM about the Giant Chicken now living here. He was seen walking to town from the Five Star on Campbellsville Road yesterday, And there are reports he's been to Lindsey Wilson, possibly applying for the Winter Semester 2012. He does seem to be an inquisitive, curious creature, with humanoid interests, and a particular affinity to the Jamestown Street side bench at the Historic Adair County Courthouse. This sighting was on Thursday. A little clearer than earlier. He has to be a pretty good chicken. He still holds to the old ways, getting his news from a newspaper. He hasn't been seen with an iPad or Chromebook, or using a cellphone, and so far, has been rather gentlemanly in his behavior. At 4:54pmCT, he was spotted by Anotonio Aquino walking past Pablo's Mexican Grill and Durham & Zornes. The chicken didn't stop to eat, but did slow down in front of the law office, making spectators wonder if he might be a litigious type chicken, bent on lawing on people; it is hoped not.

Downtown Days 2011: The Rusty Nail Rises again 2011-10-06 - 400 Quadrant, Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The Rusty Nail saloon, aka The Main Stage, was taking shape at 9:31amCT, Thursday, October 6, 2011. Workmen from the City of Columbia Street Department were handling the construction, along with his Class D Guys, under the direction of City Streets Superintendent Donnie Rowe, who is running the lift personally. This is the third year Donnie Rowe has supervised the construction of the stage. Donnie Rowe is in his 19th year as City Streets Superintendent, and his first year under freshman Mayor Mark D. Harris, who, he says, is doing an excellent job. Despite the tough schedule he's had, Rowe says the stage will be ready to sing on by 8amCT, Friday morning, October 7, 2011. "I also appreciate, very much, the help of Jailer Rick Wilson and Class D Superintendent Dennis Selby." Among future improvements he is lobbying for is a leaf vacuum.
