Lorne Holler, from Florida, agrees with B. Armitage Thinks out-of-towners would be lost following detour signs Lorne Holler writes: Barbara, you're not the only one from Florida. We are from Tampa Bay Area been here for 8 years on June 1. I have seen detour signs on the bypass, and some scattered around town. If I was a tourist and followed some of them, I would be lost. I'm fortunate enough to know short cuts through the city and to get around the construction. The detours should be marked thoroughly so people can get in and around the site quickly and on their way to their destination. - Lorne HollerComments re article 75605 The construction interruption What isnt marked is the detour 2015-05-31 21:06:16 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

The construction interruption: What isn't marked is the detour She says: I'm from Florida, a place where nobody is "from around here". In fact I'm pretty sure that there's a state law that says no more than 12 actual Floridians can live in the state at any given time - there just isn't room for them. The number one industry in Florida is "people who aren't from around here", we call them tourists. It's a 67 billion dollar a year industry. I'd say that the road department in Florida could be called an expert in getting these people (tourists) where they need to go under any conditions. They might be someone we want to emulate. By Barbara Armitage Personal commentary I think it's great that we're having some much needed work done on the culverts at the corner of Hwy 55 and Hwy 206. It's important to have good roads and I'm quite sure that the work is progressing just as quickly as it possibly can. That said, I think we need to have a talk about the detours - or lack thereof.

Letter: Writer cites a pattern in gas pricing Lois Cunningham writes: Ed, haven't we all in Adair County noticed that our gas goes up an average 20 cents every Friday and comes back down on Monday. Only one gas station, under different ownership, doesn't do that. We are trapped in a monopoly. I wish that everyone would fill up on Thursday or Tuesday and avoid buying local gas on other days. That is, if you want to support "local." If not, buy gas somewhere else. Maybe the monopoly would lose some of its clout. - Lois CunninghamComments re article 75595 Gas Price Drumbeat Same gas 20 cents cheaper 20 miles away 2015-05-31 12:44:01 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Though we've seen it dozens of times, we still didn't recognize it. But The angle and the perspective wasn't enough to mask its identity from the ghost town's many fans. The photo was posted at just around 1pmCT, and it didn't take but a few minutes for the answers to come pouring in, listed below, all received on Sat 30 May, 2015:

Everyone has an anecdote about Armored truck, headed for Campbellsville, ends up in Vester, but friendly natives get them pointed in the right direction. There are a lot of people getting lost in Columbia with the construction disruption at the Fairgrounds Street at Campbellsville Street intersection. Sometimes twists and turns in the detour have people ending up in odd places, as Patty Smith at Liberty Road Grocery & Deli in Vester, found after the detour was set up Wednesday morning, May 27, 2015. An armored truck drove up, she said, and a guard came in, saying he'd just come from Columbia and needed directions to Campbellsville.

Tom Chaney: Heat Lightning Of Writers And Their Books: Heat Lightning. Tom says that Blum's account of the blast, the causes, the search for the guilty, and the trials is of that genre Blum calls "journalistic history" which seems to mean that he offers no careful documentation. This column first appeared 30 May 2010. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Rolling Down the Rivers By Tom Chaney Heat Lightning Early in the morning of October 1, 1910, an explosion destroyed the building of the Los Angeles Times. Twenty-one people were killed. At first the blast was attributed to a careless match igniting a gas leak. Soon it became clear that a bomber had been at work. Howard Blum, a contributing editor to Vanity Fair, without a blush stretches this event into what some yellow journalists of the time labeled it: "The Crime of the Century." This name was given before Lee Harvey Oswald, the Mansons, the Watergate gang, Hitler, and James Earl Ray; and with only ninety years to go in the century. And I don't recall such 21st century appellations given to the West Virginia mine disaster or the current British Petroleum debacle off the oily coast of Louisiana.
