This one hits close to home! I took a photo of the same sign in Tellico Plains, on the drive home from Knoxville a few years back. And I know from experience that the red building is indeed the hardest Christenberry landmark to find. Except for maybe the house w/blue car near Akron, which I've never been able to locate, but I'm fairly sure that's because little (if any) of it remains.

I think so much of it has faded, Davy--I would have no idea where any of it was, except for Ryan Steed, who has it down like the chorus of a favorite song. Shoot, even most of it was fading while Mr. Christenberry was alive--like the palmist and one of the country stores.

I wish I had been more awake when I hit Tellico Plains, but I really was worn out from gripping the steering wheel from that drive!!
