Historic Taylor Co., KY: 1924 Street Fair 2011-07-30 - Main Street, Campbellsville, KY - Photo from Larry Smith Collection. Larry Smith sends this photo from a Fall 1924 Street Fair in Campbellsville. The photo shows a grand Main Street Scene, with streets filled with mostly stylishly dressed people. Perhaps as much as anything, there's a social progress comment in the sign, a much too racist one by any day's standards, but all too common everywhere in those times in Kentucky. Today, Campbellsville, KY, with its Campbellsville United leadership, is a model for any city in America in harmony and brotherhood. The picture was taken before Larry Smith's time, of course; he says that his other radio station's studio, for the Big Dawg, 99.9 FM, is located to the right of the first tree in the right background. He also reminds folks of how little has changed architecturally. Most of the buildings are still standing in 2011. - Ed Waggener Permalink | Comments?
