Despite the hustle that surrounds the intersection of Spout Springs, Thompson Mill and Friendship roads in South Hall nowadays, Frank Duncan can remember a time when the land around self-named Duncan City was “a whole lotta nothin’.” In fact, Duncan City didn’t have as much as a sign to let those passing by know where they were or point them in the direction they were looking to go. So in the late 1970s, after years of giving directions to lost travelers who would knock on the door of his corner house, the late Lucius Duncan, Frank Duncan’s father, asked the county to put up a road sign so people would stop interrupting family dinners.
