Commentary: It's time to develop all of Kentucky to its potential In response to Courier Journal's December 17, 2007, 3-1/2 pages of trashing Interstate 66 and Kentucky as a whole By Ralph Waggener President, South Central Printing, Inc., Columbia, KY The first time I ever heard of the "Road to Nowhere" was when Happy Chandler, running for Governor in 1953, called Governor Lawrence Wetherby's proposed Kentucky Turnpike from Louisville to E-town, the "Road that starts nowhere and ends nowhere." Today, what was the Kentucky Turnpike is now part of I-65, one of the busiest roads in Kentucky. Despite the lesson they could have learned from Happy's hype, "Road to Nowhere" is what The Courier-Journal is calling Interstate 66 now. I had forgotten that Interstate 65, from Louisville to E-town, was first a toll road before becoming part of Interstate 65.

Letter: Photographer took Angel in 76 Falls as a sign Letters and Feedback to ColumbiaMagazine.com Response to letter from Billy Joe Fudge To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I do not know if the Angel can be seen at all times or just certain times. I had never been there before and have not been back. I think it was a sign from the Lord that everything would be all right with me. At the time I had cancer and have since been healed. To me it is a wonderful blessing that I wish everyone could see. I pray that it does touch each person that sees it. Once again thanks for posting it. s/Rhonda Reliford 2007-12-31 06:22:03 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
