Headland, Alabama Town Square

If you are able to download and really zoom in on this image, you will see VANN Dry Goods across the square.

This photo is from one of Larry Smith's articles.

Sitting on a park bench dedicated to the memory of my grandparents, Major W. Espy and Edith Vann Espy.  The Headland square has numerous park benches like this, where people have honored someone - living and dead.

A video I made in 2012.  Dr. Jim Vann (Uncle Jim) of Headland led us on a historical tour of the Headland Town Square, pointing out what he remembers about the square when he was growing up and the changes he's seen over the years. Before we got started on this tour, Kade and I accompanied Uncle Jim to Hardees, where we got a cup of coffee, did some people watching and talked some pop culture and politics.

And a short one from 2012.

The fountain above is in memory of Major W. Espy, Edith Vann (Espy) and Mila Espy (Woods).  It was put in about seven years ago.  The local Kiwanis Club gave the fence around it, and a family (perhaps Donnie Smith's) gave the ornamentation around the fountain in memory of Shannon Cook.
