Today as I pulled out of the driveway at French General, a young man walked up to me and asked me if this was French General. Yes, I said (duh, I thought - just look at the sign!) I looked over - to kind of motion towards the sign - and it was gone. That's right - someone had taken our sign - and believe me, we needed it - nobody ever knows where we are! Who would need an old sign like that, I wondered? As I sat there gazing towards the missing sign, another man walked up to me and out of the blue said, I always keep an eye on this place - whenever I am in the neighborhood, I sit here on your wall and watch this old house. I asked him if he knew who had taken the sign. He said he hadn't even noticed it was missing. So there you go. Visitors beware - there is no sign at French General anymore...you'll just have to know we are in the little pink house at the elbow in the road. Good luck!

Missing Sign

Goodness..it was such a sweet sign. I've never stolen a thing in my life, but I do look longingly at lovely signs sometimes. Hope you get your sign back soon!
ReplyDeleteAwww...that's a shame..but I can see the desire for that sign...I love it and I would love to hang it up on my wall in my house...but it's not here...Hopefully they'll return...do you think maybe it's in the rose bushes..maybe fell off?
ReplyDeleteI would bet that an over zealous fan took it as a souvenir. Too bad. But,it's better to think that it's somewhere being cherished than just tossed out by a vandal.
ReplyDeleteI've been to the store, and I don't know how you could miss it. It's so distinctively charming.
Sorry about the sign.
