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.
