Located along Main St. (U.S. 412) in the heart of town.
For a short while, the lobby of this hotel was the home of Centerville's Minnie Pearl statue, but the statue was gone on the day I was there. It has been placed back a few years later.

Now I must confess that I've had enough of the Gaudy Commodore and the likes of butterflies that are regular in the vicinity. We've become very familiar that I often ignore them whilst trailing new butterflies in or around their territory in the vegetable garden. The Gaudy Commodore(s) are not hard to find there on fair-weather days.
This fairly old one had a spot on the yam plant. After giving up on a chase, I noticed it sitting on the green. Not desperate for a photograph as I had one too many already, I just joined it in a squat and watched, slightly above its eye level. It would fly off and return, but settle near the original spot. Unmoved, I kept watching. It would fly off again and come back to the original spot. Interesting thing is that every time it lands, it revolves around to my direction. Obviously, it was conscious of a human presence and it reflected this in playful disposition (the reason I've often described this nymphalid as affable).
On three occasions, it was distracted by two butterflies that flew overhead, and also a small bird- maybe a sparrow. It would chase but when it does not get attention or catch up with their speed, it falls back. And it would be just both of us again. Finally, it landed on its spot, getting very close to my face that any onlooker at the time may have easily presumed that I was a butterfly whisperer.
