HAVE YOU NOTICED THE CHARM OF A BILLBOARD BARN LATELY?

'See Rock City' Tennessee billboard barn
Today we feature author Jo Huddleston of Alabama for our Country Life Captions. She sent us this billboard barn photo. We tend to favor country barn pictures, as does she. 



JO SAYS: 

“Traveling in Tennessee gave me beautiful rolling hills, grazing animals, and barns to view. The roofs of many of those barns were specially painted with white-on-black letters of the slogan, 'See Rock City.' 

Reading these signs, I dreamed of what I’d never seen: a young girl’s fantasy land of escapism in the 1940s.”
