On the trip to True's BBQ, see yesterday, we drove Tn. Highway 25, a nice cruise. Cross Plains is located north of Nashville.
At the I-65 exit, there is an antique store with a muffler man and a pink elephant wearing sunglasses. Worth a visit just for those two things.
In Cross Plains, there is Thomas Drugs, an old store dating 1915 when it opened as a dry goods store. In 1928, it became a drug store and the interior looks just like the old days with its display cases and working soda fountain. It was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The town was founded in 1779 and the stores in the business district date from the late 1700s to early 1900s.
There is also an old gas station.
Good Eatin' and Some History Too. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
