Peepers the Talking Starling

Jim and Judi Sarkisian owned and operated A Better World (Better Worlde Galeria) for 7 years. It was primarily a performance space, with at least 3 performances a day, including music, dance, theatre and comedy. A meeting place for many groups, including the Nashville Songwriter's Association, the Humanists, Mission Hills Realtors and Poetry Conspiracy; the space was adorned by a coffee shop, bookstore, boutiques and art gallery. As you can imagine there were thousands of stories that happened around the space. But for Judi, the most important story of all was the story of A Better World's mascot, Peepers the Talking Starling. In any day, there would be incredible performers and lasting memories, but nothing quite matched Judi's twin, Peepers. Although feathered and frail, this little starling was connected by a special spirit to many people. Judi is already writing more stories about A Better World, but the first story had to be about Peepers.
