So, one of the first pictures I ever took on my iPhone and shared with the world - in August of 2013 - was of this sign, at the Gap Creek Coffeehouse in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, right down the road from Lincoln Memorial University.
I've always been DEEPLY fond of this sign. For obvious reasons. https://mastodon.social/media/37YXwydJAFcwgqsbph4
I went back to the Gap Creek Coffeehouse, to get the caffeine that would get me through meetings at the medical school at Lincoln Memorial yesterday.
That isn't wasn't there anymore. But the setting is as beautiful as ever. And the front door was every bit as welcoming.
Good place to get a sandwich, too, if you're ever in the area. https://mastodon.social/media/2tX5PS4GzLo1LsNCDHk https://mastodon.social/media/sbBtHgnbU8iUIX0QUN0
By the way, Lincoln Memorial University is exactly that - a living memorial to Abraham Lincoln, and an institution dedicated to the quality of life in and around the place of Lincoln's birth and youth.
There's a museum and library of Lincoln artifacts on campus as well. Much of the fundraising for the museum was done by Harland Sanders. THAT Colonel Sanders.
Do I have to tell you this is one of my favorite places in the world? https://mastodon.social/media/9d1aQc2tXO9bbrd2yRc
