Longtime readers/lookers of Two Lane Touring may recall that one time I listed parks that I could not figure out why they were parks and Tupelo Battlefield was at the top. One tiny speck of green with a cannon and a sign. We have a new contender. Now, I admit I was not and still am not a fan of Bill Clinton’s values and policies. Yet, that does not factor into this sad place. The formal title is “President William Jefferson Clinton’s Birthplace Home. The VC was open and there was a very nice young ranger in the place. The display consists of a room the size of a small dinning room with six printed panels (like a church would use to say “welcome” or “coffee”) with each one featuring a person important to his early life. That is it. The house is closed. But it sits about 6 feet above a four lane street with an iron fence around it barely visible from the sidewalk, to one side there is a surface street by a four lane highway and you park here - maybe room for five cars, the back is an alley and on the other side is a business of some sort. There is not a third acre of land. The signage is very poor and once you turn off the first road it is good luck. He grew up in Hot Springs and lived there from 3 to college, seems a better choice. I took three photos from the edges of the property and lucky you get to see them all!.
Cadillac Tracks - This sad little town has no ice cream no lattes and no hope. We are off to spend the night on a blueberry farm and my cell phone won’t work. I need airlifted to, well anywhere. And my head still hurts a bit like the antlers are a tad to tight.
I am leaning on the fence on this side of the house. You can glimpse the 2 four lane roads over and under the bridge with the parking surface street just past the house.
