DAY 29:  WELCOME TO WILLIE A'S!

Willie A’s is a new eatery in Lebanon, located in the former Bill’s Café building on Depot Street.

Tonight, the proprietors - Connie Rakes and her husband, Jimmy Tabor - served up a nice Friday seafood special with their golden fried catfish, creamy coleslaw and accoutrements. Yummy!

It says something about a place when you still feel welcome even as the owner of the establishment pulls out a shot gun from behind the counter! ; )

In all fairness, no one was in any danger - the gun was the subject of a charity raffle.

Good luck, Connie & Jim. May Willie A’s be a big success!
