Ron Aldridge has been a man of the cloth for 23 years, and it has only been during that time, he says, that he counts his life as a true success.

“I wasted my life until I was forty-four,” he said. “I worked, a lot of people would say I did OK. I owned my own business, the Shelbyville Mini Mart down at the bottom of 7th Street, and I reopened the Shelby Lanes that was down on Main Street at the old Kroger building.”

Nathan Riggs attains ‘rising star’ status

Mathis, Riggs and Prather, P.S.C. announced that Nathan Riggs was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star in the 2014 edition of the Super Lawyers magazine for Ohio and Kentucky. Riggs was listed in the General Litigation category. 

Riggs is a partner in the law firm of Mathis, Riggs, and Prather, P.S.C. and has been practicing law since 2002. 

It happens so frequently that it’s become cliché– as soon as a Walgreens or CVS pharmacy opens, the other locates across the street.

And that played out last year in Shelbyville on the corner of U.S. 60 and Freedom’s Way, where CVS now sits directly across the road from Walgreens.

Bill Borders, who with William Hickman owned Smith-McKenney – purchased in 2012 by CVS – for about 30 years, said he couldn’t figure out why the stores are so close to one another.
