We could drive across the bridge into Missouri. About 30 miles north of where I'm at I could take you to historic Reelfoot Lake. There's a very small museum there with exhibits and a short film about the legend of the lake. We could walk the boardwalk around the edge of the lake, possibly take a pontoon ride out or fish off the bank. I could take you to one of the lake area restaraunts for a great catfish dinner. And of course, as part of good southern hospitality I could treat you to a homecooked southern meal in my home.....and would enjoy doing just that!

The pastor of Christ Church, L.H. Hardwick, was born and raised in Finley, TN.
Also, my sister-in-law was born and raised in Finley. Her family, the Boals, were/are pretty prominent in the Finley community. Her grandfather, Homer Boals, owned the grocery store next to the post office. They tore down the store a few years ago. Her uncle was postmaster there for several years!
They own a large farm off of highway 104 in which the movie "In the Heat of the Night" starring Sidney Poitier was filmed.
Small world isn't it?
