Eclipse, I agree with everything you said. There is nothing better than living in the South...Especially GA! I feel you on what you said about the ATL...it's entirely too crowded! All of these people coming from up north and out west taking up space and COMPLAINING the whole time about how slow we are and how country we are. Well my thing is simple...love it or leave it
. There is nothing better than being able to drive down the street and see good ole southern folk sitting on their porch waving at you as you wave back. Or having an old man in his sixties or seventies stand and hold the door open for you simply because he still has that southern hospitality he was raised with. And how about that good ole down south cooking. I'm talking grits, sausage, and pancakes in the morning with homemade syrup. Fried catfish, stewed catfish, blackeye peas and rice, turkey necks, oxtails, baked macaroni and cheese. Hell yeah, I'm country and proud of it
! And don't let me get started on the good old fresh fruit that we have down here. You can drive down to Peach County and get the best grown peaches ever! Peach Cobbler, peach ice cream and the strawberry's and blackberry's aren't bad either...I love my Peach State! I love being able to go to work all day and spend eight hours in the rat race to get to the top yet still be able to get off from work and slow down...just living life watching the grass grow. I love my Georgia (southern living).
