Businesswoman shows you can win at City Hall 2006-01-10 - Square-at-Well Walk, Columbia, KY - Photo Ed Waggener. SUE ROWE is a hero to downtown folks who wanted the nuisance Bradford Pear removed from their corner. One neighbor,Genella Williams, who works in the Gail Williams Law Office, said that Sue Rowe got action in two days at City Hall that others had been trying to get for two years. Mrs. Rowe, the President of Dixieland Productions, presented a petition to Mayor Pat Bell on Tuesday night, January 3, 2006, to have the Bradford Pear tree removed. The Mayor issued an Executive Order to Director Donnie Rowe of the City Street Department to remove the tree, and the work was complete on Thursday, January 5, 2006. The tree had small fruit which was tracked into stores, and bird droppings were presenting a possible histoplasmosis problem. Now the Well Walk sidewalks are clean. Mrs. Rowe has a business which sells "All New Merchandise" in the former Loy Department Store building, beyond the Open sign. The city also removed a similar problem in the coffee shop corner.
