the south

Traveling from GA through Alabama to MS - a few comments - miles and miles of rolling wooded hills, lots of manufacturing near the big cities -Birmingham AL 1 million - we just kept on the interstate and didn't check out Civil Rights, but John Grisham's A Time to Kill was on that night,  After the trashy yards of the back hills of FL, lots of manufactured homes, to nice antebellum manions in GA and MS &TN.  Shutters,porches,  columns, brick are common sites. Confederate flags still fly.  Saw cotton fields and rice.  soybeans and corn are common.
