Picture of the day

Mammy's Cupboard is a roadside restaurant located on US Highway 61 south of Natchez, Mississippi. The restaurant was built in the shape of a mammy archetype at a time when Gone with the Wind had made it popular; the archetype's skin was repainted a lighter shade during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Diners sit in the restaurant's brick skirt, which also holds a gift shop.
