Every town has to have a
tourist trap, I guess. Clarksdale now has theirs--a marker at
the mythical "Crossroads" of fame in Robert Johnson's song.

(This picture along with
one from my Casey Jones Train
Wreck Site page will soon be published in a book on scenes
from American folklore by Chris Epting.)
And yes, by the power
invested in me as a tourist and blues fan, I got my picture taken at
the Crossroads Monument in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the home of the
Delta Blues Museum and the intersection of Highways 49 and 61--the
"Crossroads" of blues fame.
