My family’s been here for 200 years or so now, we’re one of the first families of Tennessee. But my wife Susan and I spent two winters in Paris in the Saint-Germain-des-Pres, and there was this one crepe shop at the Notre-Dame-des-Champs Metro stop—it was a stand, really, and it always had a line of people waiting around the corner. We were doing steel sculpture at the time, traveling to art shows, and we always said if we ever had our own gallery, we’d serve crepes like that street vendorKnoxville, TNRose KennedyAllen TateMetroPulseallen-tatehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/nov/12/kay-england/?partner=RSSkennedyr@metropulse.com (Rose Kennedy)Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:00:00 -0000http://metropulse.com/news/2008/nov/12/kay-england/?partner=RSSstories/street-talk139912008-11-12T17:00:002008-11-12T17:00:00Copyright MetroPulse, 2008People donate new gift items, and people who need help for Christmas come in starting December 1 and put items in layaway for their families—not just for children, men and women, too.
