Just a Pinch of South

For those of us who grew up in the South but have moved elsewhere, we love our roots and all they have provided. There's a lot that I've come to appreciate about the South. But let's be honest, most of us don't want to go back to "full Southern." We're happy with just a pinch here and there to add flavor to the life we live now. If you are not a Southerner, perhaps you'll come to better appreciate the little gifts the American South has given and continues to give our culture. Photos are not mine unless specified.

I grew up with smokers. My dad, my grandmother… Kids at my summer camp started smoking at about 11. I’ve never had a cigarette myself. But man, it looks cool. I hate that. I hate that it does indeed look cool. It’s deadly and addictive. And a Southern thing that took over the world. For better (maybe) but mostly for worse (lung-wise).
