Resurfacing of Richmond Road, at the intersection of Ashland Avenue, Aug. 26, 1948. That intersection is about where East Main Street becomes Richmond Road. The resurfacing was one of the final parts of a yearlong project to widen Richmond Road from two lanes to four, to an area just past Idle Hour Country Club, almost to the Lexington reservoir. Over the years, more restaurants have been at this intersection, 735 East Main Street, than perhaps any other location in town. At left is the sign for the first restaurant at that address, the Stirrup Cup, which opened in 1938. It closed in the 1960s but reopened in 1980, only to close again in 1982. Today it is Coles 735 Main restaurant. Herald-Leader archive photo.
