It may interest you to know that we went to "Jailhouse Pizza" in Brandenburg 
over the weekend... saw where our old house once stood pre-tornado 1974.... 
had a horrific storm come up the river while we were there... and found where 
they put the Confederate monument.

It now has a home, and from what I'm told the people htere appreciate it and 
it is welcome.  They will make a park like setting around it.
