| From America's
heartland, West Brunnersville
welcomes the world. Surrounded by four modest hills and almost famous for
the homespun Insect
Museum inside Larry McGurty's trailer, West Brunnersville is a small
town of average folk. But some fairly ordinary human forms hide quite extraordinary
souls and stories. |
| Our tour
begins at the downtown
post office, designed in the 1920s by a rather eccentric town benefactor
who made his fortune from food color additives. Two enormous marble columns,
stained with pigeon droppings and thicker than Madeline
Suggs' hipline, greet us at the entrance. |
| Peer
inside the window! Apparently,
postmistress
Nannie Ann Gardner has been busy with yet another decoration scheme.
Look through the glass door at all those pastel balloons, faded crepe paper
ribbons, and crochet figurines of the founding fathers. |
