Skull Found in Garden
When construction workers were taking down the old Threadgoode house. They came across a garden full of old skulls and bones of all the animals and fish that the Threadgoode family had caught brought home for their meals. When the construction workers were cleaning it up one did not seem to fit in right considering that it was a human head with a glass eye. This skull is lead to believe to be, Frank Bennett's who went missing in 1930.
Railroad Yard Closing
Sad to say but the Railroad is closing. Grady Kilgore, a retired official of L&N Railroad told me that the country can not run without trains. I think that L&N will be back up and running in no time! Now since the railroad is closed, I talked to Idgie and she says it looks like the cafe will have to close. The only reason for that is that business is down.
Tragedy Strikes in Front of the Cafe
While Buddy Threadgoode was playing a long the tracks. He slipped and fell onto the tracks into the way of an on coming train. The train was traveling about forty miles per hour. Buddy lost most of his arm and a lot of blood. He will be fine, he should be coming home soon.
Beloved Citizen has Passed
I am sad to announce but Ms Ruth Jamison has now passed away. She passed away over the weekend. Idgie would like me to tell you guys that the cafe will be closed for the next couple of days. R.I.P. Ms Ruth.
Sad News for all of Us
Just a year before the Threadgoode family lost their dear Father. Now sad times have come again with Momma Threadgoode leaving us. Everyone in town had to come by the Threadgoode house that day to pay their respects towards her. Whistle Stop will no longer be the same without Momma Threadgood.
Cafe Opens
I would like to announce the opening of the Whistle Stop Cafe. The owners are Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison. The cooking will be done by Sipsey and Onzell, two coloured women. Outside running the barbecue is Onzell’s husband, Big George.
Idgie says breakfast is available from 5:30 to 7:30. We ate there the other night, my other half says he likes it very much.
