The huge Columbia City Cemetery is in the background.

I have no idea what this building was back in Jack and Oliver's day, but I intend to find out; I suspect it was probably a doctor's home/office.

I'm inclined to say it was possibly the local creamery. The loading docks on the 'porch', block walls, windows high in the walls of the first floor so things could be stacked against the walls. Second floor was probably warehouse for feed and seed.

Original Cape Cod Style Long John Silver's

https://ibb.co/x8cGZ0Kx" rel="nofollow">

Right beside the Last Surviving Jerry's Restaurant in Paris, Kentucky

Now missing it's square roof-top cupola and it's trademark thick wooden planked "wharf" style steps and entrance, with big Creosote wooden pilings and thick Hemp rope hand-railings; this is one of the "Good" Long John Silver's from when they were a fit place to eat at, before the health nuts ruined them; I have not had a decent meal from a Long John Silver's in 35-years.

An original blue and yellow Long John Silver's sign is on the North side of the building, partially concealed by some red plastic sheeting; you can see the "ng J" letters.

Now, it is a Giovannis Pizza

"Originally a Burger Queen, this family owned and operated restaurant has been a community staple in Campbellsville, Kentucky since opening day in 1970.
Once a restaurant chain of more than 200 locations, many thought the Druther's name was extinct!
Whether you're a first timer or a regular, you are sure to feel right at home the minute you step through our doors.
"I'd Ruther go to Druther's Restaurant!""

In my opinion, changing the corporate name from Burger Queen to Druthers rang the death bell for the once powerful chain.

I had heard from many that this was a great place to eat and was not at all disappointed when we were there; the food and service was excellent; the best French-fries by far that I have ever had.

And..., they have fountain Big Red, cold enough to bust your teeth and not watered down like the drinks at other places; they also have Ski that is as good as Ski was forty years ago.

Boonesboro Quarry at Kentucky River Bridge

https://ibb.co/S7H1khXc" rel="nofollow">

https://ibb.co/d0qmBQ43" rel="nofollow">

https://ibb.co/RZyPWJ6" rel="nofollow">

Southbound on the new KY Hwy 627 bridge over the Kentucky River heading South out of Clark County into Madison County.

Kentucky River Milepost 175.15

The old bridge was a very high, very long, very narrow iron through-truss affair with steep, crooked, narrow highway on both sides and tight 90-degree curves at each end.

Boonesboro Quarry, owned by The Allen Company, lies on both sides of the highway on the South bank.

My understanding is that the Limestone is actually mined from an underground drift mine with entrance at the extreme North-West end of the visible quarry.

A huge enclosed conveyor brings the rock outside to the final crushers and grader screens.

I am assuming that some sort of continuous mining machine grinds the rock from the face and thus no huge shot-rock needs be further downsized before entering the conveyor.

Just upstream, South (left in the photo), is Lock and Dam Number 10; and, just upstream and on the opposite bank is Dale Power Station and CSX RxR North/South mainline(formerly the L&N).

On the East/other side of KY627, the quarry shares a boundary with Fort Boonesborough State Park.

It is confusing that the Fort is on the South/Madison side of the river while what Kentucky calls Boonesborough is 4/10-mile away on the North/Clark side of the river.

Although we still have quite a distance to go before we leave the bridge, we have already crossed the Kentucky River; if we could see the river in these views, we would be looking downstream toward Carrollton.

Clark County Courthouse - Back Side

https://ibb.co/dJr2WYkR" rel="nofollow">

As seen from the outside corner of Wall Street and Cleveland Avenue.

The 4th courthouse on this site, it was built in 1853, completed in 1855, at a cost of over $40,000; you couldn't get the clock cleaned today for $40,000.

The brick building at right is The Fraternity Building; a Masonic Lodge that hosts several other local fraternities as well.

Bloomfield's, 41 South Main, is the nearer building with the two rounded bay windows.

Bloomfield's, founded by Vic Bloomfield, was a Winchester institution into the late 1980s.

Clark County National Bank, 47 South Main, is the whitish building with five arched windows per floor, a false gable over the top-center window, and a columned gable over the main front door.

Built in 1880, it is the only remaining iron-front building in Winchester.

Clark County National Bank is directly across South Main from Citizens National Bank; one has to wonder if that was by design.

Located on the corner of Main and Court Streets, immediately South of the courthouse; this is the side facing the courthouse.

Built in 1886 in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style.

The medallion faces, seen on the arch over the entrance, represent Lizzie Winn, the daughter of Col. R.N. Winn, and Mary Miller, the daughter of Dr. Washington Miller, president of the bank.

On the rusted galvanized wrap-around, on the front corner, just underneath the crenels and merlons, are the words "CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK."

These big bins are on the South side of KY Hwy 1590.

This is some part of the huge Cagle's/Keystone/Tyson's chicken processing plant.

I do not know if it would be chicken feed in those bins or something horrific, like dried chicken guts.

There are many Russell Countians who can lay claim to having worked one or two days at the chicken plant; it must not be quite so bad as the beef plant as most barely lasted half-a-day there, many not lasting until the 10-o'clock break.

Once they open the new stretch of US127, this Milepost #8 will be Milepoint 5-3/4, making us 2-1/4-miles closer to the Clinton County Line; I wonder if they will change all of our US127 Mileposts and make us have to learn all over again where we are.

Note the old U.S.Mail Extra trailer #319011

The Barn visible way in the background is accessed via Jump Off Road and is still there in April-2026 Satellite View; a very near miss by the new road construction.

The Barn:
36°54'49.28" North Parallel  85° 6'29.80" West Meridian
1,038' Above Sea Level

Camera Location at Milepost #8:
36° 55' 15.79" North Parallel  85° 06' 16.89" West Meridian
1,040' Above Sea Level
