I live near what used to be the plant for Squirrel
Brand, the makers of Squirrel Nut Zippers candy. The
plant was closed in 1999 and the building was turned
into an affordable housing space. On the land in front
of the plant the city built a small, squirrel-themed
park, which is having its grand opening a week from
today. The park has an asphalt walkway, inlaid in
which are marble slabs inscribed with several
interesting Squirrel Brand facts. One of these caught
my eye:

It must be true; it's carved in stone.
