Arlo has posted a blog in which he suggests (and I firmly and with humor second!) the adding of the image of the church which was, at one time, Alice's Restaurant - to the back of the Massachusetts state quarter. This is a great idea!
As Arlo states, the site is of historical importance, has been included in song and modern and other historical reference, and includes Thanksgiving as well! How American must it be?
In order to make YOUR vote count, I wanted to pass on the following, as offered by Denis Farley, from Arlo's own original blog on the subject. Here is how YOU can vote on this important issue:
"Ok - I made the call but just for the folks that will be voting in the future there's a couple of things that you should know in preparation for voting, dispel any confusion:
From the link:

How to Vote
The voting is now open. Please note that you can only submit one site at a time, but you can vote as often as you would like until 5:00 p.m. February 26, 2009. If your preferred site does not appear on this list, you can still vote for it by calling 1-800-227-MASS [6277].
Ok, once you call that number, you must call that number because the 'church' is not on the list - this is a 'write in' vote.
1. the exentsion you will be pressing to vote is #5, after dialing the toll free voting number
2. You will be asked for a site and landmark which (correct me if I'm wrong) is the Guthrie Center at the old deconsecrated church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. That's what you say, "I'm voting for the Guthrie Center at the old deconsecrated chruch in Great Barrington, Massachusetts." - unless I'm wrong and Arlo or the webmaster here needs to correct this.
So, maybe if it doesn't make it to the quarter printers it might become a stamp . . .?!?!?
