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.

It’s almost impossible to talk about “shagging” with a straight face in a post-Austin Powers world. I learned to “shag” in college (see! see? it’s, like, impossible, baby). Let me try again. I learned how to do the dance known as “The Shag” in college. And I love how grandmother’s dance it, and remember spending summers at Myrtle Beach. I love that connection to past generations.
