Elephant Museum

Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum is no more. Usually, I wouldn't mention bad news, but this news is worth a comment. This roadside attraction starred in the local film phenomenon "Route 30." The Gettysburg Convention and Visitor's Bureau featured Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum as a successful local example of destination marketing. The museum was worth the trip for the absurdity of the elephant collection and the tastiness of the fudge. The museum and the collection burned down last night. I hope that Mr. Ed rebuilds the museum. Where will he get a collection of every known tacky or beautiful elephant object ever manufactured? I know that I have at least six elephants I could donate to him. If you check your attic or basement, I bet you, too, can find some kind of elephantine object. All Mr. Ed needs to do is ask. I bet the elephants will come flooding in.
