Wow. That's pretty cool. Where is that office bama??? I'm sure it's probably in Burlington somewhere (see how smart I'm getting?) but do they have a site where we can get directions??

http://www.thetimesnews.com/ theres the website with the article about the DoI. Im sure there is an address there somewhere so you can mapquest it.
From I40 take exit 145 to downtown. take a left at light. go straight for like 2 miles into downtown burlington. You should basically run right into the times news office once you are in downtown. Its a decent size bldg with times nwes or something to that effect written on it. I can't remember and am not going outside to look since its raining.

LOL! I just found the site and directions. ok.. I take back that "smart" comment of mine.
Here's what it says on the front page of their site....
A piece of American history is here at The Times-News
Today is the second day you can view the Declaration of Independence, which was found by Nashville native Michael Sparks in a thrift store for $2.48.
The document is in our break room, along with some more collectible pieces that Bob Raynor of Raynors' Historical Collectible Auctions has brought along. Raynor and his pieces will be here until 5 p.m. today.
Excuse me? The DoI was found in a Thrift Store? Am I the only one who didn't know it was in the Americana Scrapbook all this time???
And there's a picture of a man holding the DoI on that site! With his greasy ungloved hands!!! Arrrrrrghhhh!

Meet Michael Sparks, a Nashville music equipment technician for Soundcheck Nashville. The rolled-up document he happened upon last March, which he paid less than $3 for, is a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence. It might well fetch a quarter-million — or more.
Sparks found the document at the Music City Thrift Shop on Gallatin Road. He thought it was interesting and took it to the store office to ask for a price. The clerk took out a grease pencil and marked $2.48 on a piece of wood attached to the top of the document, and Sparks walked out the door with it.
"I saw that it said 1823 and I knew that the dec laration was 1776, and I
was just interested. It also said 'by order of the government','' said Sparks, who immediately started researching the piece online and through local historical sources. He determined that his lucky $2.48 find was an "official copy'' of the Declaration of Independence — one of 200 copies commissioned by John Quincy Adams in 1820, when Adams was secretary of state, and printed by William Stone in 1823.
