We have gone to Logan's Roadhouse since they opened their doors. Tonight, I saw these posters and stopped dead in my tracks. They have been on this wall by the restrooms and I have walked by them every time I have eaten at Logan's. This was the first time I noticed that these posters were from Hatch Show Print, in Nashville, Tennessee.
