Eudora Never Said “New Phone Who Dis”

Eudora Welty Home and Museum, Jackson MS

Years ago, if you were to call Eudora Welty, chat about the weather, what’s on sale at the Jitney (Jitney #14), mention the state of the garden or an offer of lunch at Bill’s or the Mayflower…

and you dialed that number today, someone at the Eudora Welty House and Garden would pick up.

It’s the same number, still.
