Fantasia Signs Cause a Fuss in Her Hometown  10/19/05

The Mayor of High Point, North Carolina is sticking with her decision to honor hometown heroine Fantasia Barrino on road signs, despite protests from locals.

Becky Smothers was among the officials who agreed to honor the 21-year-old American Idol winner by adding the words 'Home of Fantasia Barrino' to welcome signs on the edge of town.

But, after reading her new autobiography, locals fear they've made a mistake in honoring someone who has no love for the town where she grew up.

In Life in Not a Fairy Tale, Barrino portrays the town negatively, dubbing it "the Land of the Dead."

But Smothers isn't interested in the petty squabbling: "There's a lot more serious things happening right now than Fantasia's signs."
