Local Trivia: Johnson City edition

For years, the only two people I knew who lived in Johnson City, TN were named Jeff. (They're still named Jeff -- I just know other people who live there now, too.)

A restaurant named Cootie Brown's has not only what it claims (almost certainly rightly) is the best key lime pie in the world, but also key lime cookies and other "key lime" meal items.

One of the murals on the wall of Cootie Browns -- one of many, each of which feature Cootie in a different situation and outfit -- shows Cootie eating a key lime pie while in the bayou. A crocodile looks longingly at Cootie's pie from the shore while four flamingos, apparently in various states of drunkenness (the largest one clearly suffering from a hangover) trot across the river in front of Cootie's boat.
