Maggie's Farm

That South doesn't exist anymore except in a very few pockets, and in those pockets the Civil War never ended so Yankees are only tolerated at best. Not just Yankees, but any "outsider"

Those of us lucky enough to have experienced the South prior to the Interstate road system have great memories of the picture you gaze upon.

Most Yankees who come south stay on the Interstates and I can tell you that in those remaining pockets of the old South the natives are mighty thankfull.

Mostly the snowbirds head for Flaawridda, somewhere along a line south of the Tampa-Daytona lattitude, where their money is very welcomed and they can, and do remake the North. Below that latitude nothing of the South remains.

A Southerner and by that I mean a Southerner whose roots go back to at minimum to the Civil War is someone no other American can truly understand. Because for good or ill it remains a place where a "Band of Brothers" exists like no other place in this land.

Enjoy the picture.

Great movie

Oh Brother ....
