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. This blog is written by Elizabeth Bloodworth.

I tweet at @apinchofsouth and my other tumblr is called "everythingthatdoesntfitelsewhere" which is just what it sounds like.

I love the Duke - UNC rivalry. Love. It. I even love it in spite the fact that we got our butts handed to us in the last regular season game this year. That happens. Hopefully not again anytime soon. I’m going to have to take the long view. There’s always next year. It’s hatred bred by proximity. The two campuses are just a short car ride (and yet worlds) away from each other. Private/Public, Despised/Beloved, Gothic/No-Discernable-Architectural-Style, Not-So-Southern/Southern…but Great School/Great School (each in their own way). I love to hate my Carolina friends. I think the feeling is mutual.
