on a dreary slushy day, a photo from the sunshine on Saturday.
This is a good idea to let folks know how much is open and operating in the new building for those heading West on 140 coming into Franklin.
The way the sign is angled it does not help those heading East.

Where in Franklin? #21
Where in Franklin? - Answer #20
"mns-franklin" provided the correct answer. This is the building located at the corner of King/Chestnut and 140 next to DeVita's Market.
Currently owned by the town and up for sale, the Four Corners building has generated some discussion during the run up to the election.
We came to Franklin in 1995 and I recall it being office space then. I recall buying flowers from the florist whose building (now torn down) was tucked tigthly along and angled lot in back of this building.
When did the Four Corners building end being a school? Sometime in the 1980's?
