Driving through bright and sunny
Cookeville, TN one can happen on
all kinds of oddity. It's almost as if the
designer decided "
to hell with this" and sailed off to
Tahiti with the
city planning money. But don't think that stopped
the good ol' folk of Cookeville,
oh no no, they just
trudge right along building
here and there. Well,
time passes and the city worked out it's
differences--at the
Darwin Market there is a
Christian Science store, and other such
religious places. But most perplexing for me has been
a little outhouse named
Faye.
The first time I ever took note of the little 3 by 3 by 7 building, all I could think of was FAYE! The name is imprinted in large, bold, white letters with it's blue background. It became a sort of land mark on the way to McDonald's... yum! Sitting, solidary, just waiting for someone to take interest... and I suppose someone did, because one day driving to the golden arches, I looked, and it was gone. Just like that--a mirage in the desert wastelands of Cookeville that vanished without trace.
To this day I hunt for Faye. Every outhouse is carefully scrutinized over for the perhaps faded big block lettering and the plastic blue background--door just slightly ajar. If you're out there Faye, I'll find you.
