No fried green tomatoes for me!

Yesterday, Lauren and I ventured down to Glendale, KY. It is a tiny town known for it's antique stores, The Whistle Stop restaurant, and it's Crossing Festival every fall. We heard it was a must see place to go, so off we went. While the town is known for having a dozen antique stores within two blocks, we were sad to see that a lot of them have closed down. But we plowed ahead and visited the stores and the friendly people who ran them.

We first ate lunch at The Whistle Stop located about 3 car lengths from the railroad tracks. When the train went by it was so loud I couldn't even think. I don't know how they deal with it all day. Although, one of their specialties were the fried green tomatoes, I opted for a Kentucky hot brown and a bowl of french onion soup. It was all very yummy! My lunch was worth every penny.

The outside of the Whistle Stop. The whole inside (as you could probably tell) was train themed. We thought it was like the earlier version of Cracker Barrel.

We stumbled upon this train car. And had it been summer we could have gotten some ice cream!

We went to about 7 stores in town. I am not really into antiques. But I had a good time looking around at everything. I saw a lot of things I wasn't sure anyone would buy. And it was hard to for me to understand that someone would want to pay $80 for a doll whose hair looked ripped out, eyes were crazy and her head was almost falling off. I guess the saying 'One man's trash is another man's treasure' is definitely true.

Here are a few things crazy things I found...

I like country kitchens but this is a little odd. A pig head anyone?

I can't tell you how many dolls we saw you looked like this one. I felt a little bad that they had no one to take them home and love them. But I wasn't going to be the one letting Chuckie's spawn come and get me at night.

Have you ever seen these hands? They make look harmless but in the room we were in there must have been over 50 of them. It was creepy seeing so many bodiless hands waving at me.

We had a good time and got to explore somewhere new. Also, even though we got snow on Sunday it was already up to 65 degrees outside and that alone was worth walking around this tiny little town.
