The scouts decided not to use the store but are now eyeing this farm on Decatur Road just a couple of miles away. They may build their own store front. ACTOR TOM CRUISE AND DIRECTOR STEVEN SPIELBERG ALSO VISITED LOCATIONS FIRST HAND INCLUDING THIS SITE ON THE MAURY RIVER. ONLY PROBLEM IS THE WATER LEVELS WILL BE TOO LOW IN DECEMBER FOR THE FLOATING BODY SHOT THEY NEED.
Cruise has been spotted in town at least twice this fall- most recently in just the past couple of weeks where he apparently spent the night at a private inn.
