The Turnip Truck and Robert Plant










My friend Kathryn works at our local natural foods market called The Turnip Truck. (Just one more reason to love my neighborhood!) She told me an awesome story the other day I must share...It seems Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have been rehearsing their new album for touring purposes at the Woodland Studios across from the Turnip Truck. Well, Robert has been doing some shopping at the Turnip Truck and asks my friend and her co-workers if they recycle there. They said yes (all a-quiver), and Robert is pleased because now he has a place to drop off his recycling. The only problem is the Turnip Truck, just like the rest of East Nashville, has no pickup for glass recycling. What a pain, we have to haul all our glass to the recycling center at the dump over on McGavock. (Ahh the dump-another great idea for a post here)...anyway no one wants to tell Robert Plant that he's really causing a problem bringing all his glass over to the Turnip Truck, so sweet and lovely Kathryn has a basement full of Bob's old bottles and jars just waiting for that convenient time to truck over to the dump. She sent me this photo of Bob's actual bottles.
