Friends talk property values, sales, purchases, restoration 2023-03-20 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Readers may look at this picture and see two men in an empty old room with ceiling height that's nearly double their own. I look at this picture and see two little boys whose parents moved them to Fortune Street and worked to keep them fed and safe so they could spend their days discovering the world in and beyond their neighborhood. I see them with toy trucks, growing taller and taller, going to school, riding their bikes, climbing trees and catching tadpoles in Town Creek. I see them graduating from school, finding partners, going into business and becoming parents. Saturday, March 18, 2023, childhood friends Tom Waggener, at left, and Doug Janes, at right, met at the old house which was a constant part of their world and is now listed for sale. As they discussed property values, sales, purchases, restoration, I could only stand by and feel grateful at how awesome life is and how their generation is now taking the lead. Built in 1812, The Field House exudes a sense of history - it's our connection to Mark Twain - and elegance that captures the imagination of those who appreciate tradition and historical preservation.

Art teacher Campbell will create Columbian mural 2023-03-20 - Columbia, KY - Photo From Dr. Ben Arnold. Darlene Campbell, Adair County teacher, writer, and artist will be creating a mural in the entrance to the newly renovated Columbian Theatre as it gets final touches in preparation of its opening this spring. Campbell shares about going the extra mile in her art classes, "All week I'm teaching on Frida Kahlo. To make it more real for the students, I'm dressing a bit like her each day! "Frida Kahlo was a Mexican-German artist born just outside Mexico City in 1907. Born with spina-bifida, crippled by polio, severely injured in a motor vehicle accident which left her unable to bear children, she endured 38 surgeries and unimaginable pain, yet she still became the first Mexican artist to have her work displayed at the Luve in Paris and quite possibly the most famous female artist of the twentieth century, besides maybe her American counterpart, Georgia O'Keefe. "The children have loved learning about the little girl with special needs, a love of anatomy, an understanding of symbolism and an enduring spirit. She died in 1954 at the age of 47. Her body never completely healed of the horrific injuries she had suffered and she had never known what it was like to be free." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
