Interior of Arnold/Firestone building moderately damaged



2012-04-30 - 200 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
It's charred ruins inside the Farm2Furniture store just days before owner Danny Reeves planned to open the unique business. The photo is taken through the side window, which displayed great clothing items as Mitzi's, and earlier, Susan Lynns. Old timers will remember the window for occasional furniture items and occasional overflow of Schwinn and Firestone bicycles, and great Columbia business names: Managers Jimmy Flowers (now of Edward D. Jones fame; a true Flowers boy- never far from Downtown Columbia), Howard Cheatham, Mr. Lambirth, and the many who worked there. The store was a political launching pad for Frank Nell, who went on to be elected Adair County Sheriff and Adair County Circuit Clerk after working as the financing manager there after World War II.
