Irving Cobb, author, humorist and columnist and our own Veep Alben Barkley (Vice President to Harry S. Truman 1949-1953) are depicted in this one.
Look how these three are all one picture. How our city looked in the early 1900's.
I love living where I do. Of course I do live in the country (20 miles from the city of Paducah) and would never have it any other way. But, if I were single and/or didn't love my horses and open land like I do I would love to live downtown. There are so many charming apartments and houses. Most in part to the Artist Relocation program that I mentioned yesterday.
Next post will be some of those charming houses.

Nice photos. I haven't been to Paducah but really like Kentucky. Happy birthday!!
Great pictures TB. My wife, Betty, has relatives who live in Paducah. Her cousin, James Wade, is retired. His wife, Libby, is the rector of Grace Episcopal Church in Paducah.

Thank you Syd. Dan, I have visited Grace Episcopal as a kid. Went with a friend. There was a lot of kneeling. It is a beautiful and classic church. Small world huh?
Beautiful pictures! I put a couple into Paint Shop Pro (One-Step-Fix) and it REALLY enhances them.
And yep, Paducah is right down the river from...what city was that? -grin
