‘RESPECT THE POLYGON’ Meteorologist James Spann visits Tallassee on book tour

Cliff Williams / TPI Alabama meteorologist James Spann, right, was surprised by six-year old twins James and Thomas Smith who along with their father Bradley dressed like the famed weatherman and brought Hattie, 8, Eleanor, 4 and wife and and mother Jamie to a book signing held by Spann.

Tallassee’s 1220 was filled with suspenders and ties Saturday as James Spann came to town.

One might have thought Spann was there to report on the weather as his jacket was off and suspenders were on display. But he wasn’t the only one on Gilmer Avenue for Spann’s book tour.
