Harsh!

I mean, I seriously can hold my breath while driving down I-45 from Dallas to Houston and pass by Mexia with air to spare (I also do this with Waverly, Texas). Mexia is so small, that if you miss the exit, get ready to drive a few miles more to make a U turn. This little town is recalcitrant to admit that Anna even set foot into their little city.

“Anna Nicole is not somebody we consider one of our own, one of the great citizens we’re proud of,” said the Rev. Marcus Sheffield, pastor of First Baptist Church, who did not know Smith. “If people connect her with what Mexia is, I’m not proud of that.”

You hear so much about how she met her past husband at the Jim’s Krispy Fried Chicken, it really makes you want to go there (for the legs or breasts, zing!).

And just in case you missed the first snub, Mexia residents want you to really know, they could give a rat’s ass about ANS (as I am sure all of you are sick of hearing her dominate the blogs as well).

Although Smith has died, locals doubt that any signs or tributes will go up in her honor.

“I don’t think that will be done,” said Linda Archibald, the Mexia Chamber of Commerce executive director.

Nan Capers, a former Mexia teacher, did not have Smith in her classes and barely remembers her.

Like many locals, Capers is not thrilled by Smith and her shenanigans.

Thanks to the Houston Chronicle.
