The Traveler's Rest

The sign for the town reads:

Traveler's Rest Here. Stop and Pass Time.

The Depression hit Traveler's Rest hard. Bad things happen in Traveler's Rest, Alabama should a man decide to stay overnight.

Wanderers walk off the main road and stop at the Malone General Store to drink of the special "tonic" sold there. One wanderer stumbles into Traveler's Rest after an absence of many years. He doesn't remember much.

But the townspeople remember him.

They welcome him, reach out to him, ask him to stop and pass time.
