Clay's Corner is the little store in Brasstown, Clay County, that's become the center of controversy for lowering a live opossum in a cage from a pole on New Year's Eve. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals mounted a legal challenge this year against the practice. But owner Clay Logan and his buddies say they don't mean any harm. In fact, he'll feed anyone who walks in the door, and he'll play them some good old music - just as long as they're not with PETA.
