I remember the old South. Riding on Sunday afternoons with my parents in a car without air conditioning, seeing coveys of Quail crossing the roads, the green pastures,kudzu patches and smelling the sweet aroma of the South Alabama countryside.
I also remember the White only bathrooms in a place we went for ice cream.
The land was and is still beautiful, and I’m glad some of the old ways are gone.

I’ve spent my entire life in the South.

Remember all day singing and dinner on the ground at church? Walking barefoot along a paved road when it was so hot it melted/stuck on your feet?

Old country stores that sold coal buckets, ice cold cokes in a bottle?

Remember ice docks (where you could go and buy a big block of ice?

Shucking sweet corn and snapping green beans when they “came in”?

Fishing with a cane pole and bobber?

Getting stung by a wasp and having someone put a chewed plug of tobacco on it to stop the stinging?

That’s the South I remember. It’s changed a lot, nothing like the old days.
