I was last in Anna in 2005 for the wedding of a nephew. Had to go to Davis Bakery, and over to Jonesboro to the Dixie Barbecue. To this day, I measure cream horns by the standard of Davis Bakery, and barbecue by Dixie Barbecue. Neither has been approached within miles of their incredibly high standard.Donniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646468735687278572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410616401062748816.post-36199537129192565122013-05-31T11:01:28.772-07:002013-05-31T11:01:28.772-07:00I think I must have been at that same Harlem Globe...I think I must have been at that same Harlem Globetrotters exhibition game!My husband grew up in Cobden and then Anna, and I moved to Jonesboro in 9th grade and went to high school at AJ in Anna.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241118689038062804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410616401062748816.post-33142128096280461942008-03-13T17:42:00.000-07:002008-03-13T17:42:00.000-07:00I have to admit, while I thought my parents are st...I have to admit, while I thought my parents are strange for often leaving their cars and house doors unlocked (not at night though), the in the town my mother grew up in, they <EM>still</EM> leave houses unlocked!WordVixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713637403798552713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410616401062748816.post-81222746033324112008-03-12T14:56:00.000-07:002008-03-12T14:56:00.000-07:00Very interesting.
