Well, it sits carry corner to the Mexican bakery which used to be a Mexican restaurant. Right down from the square in Mayretta. Chick Fil A is just down 41 next to the wal mart.

cne32507My favorite is rural driving directions in the south. I worked for a finance company in Mississippi as a collector right out of college. Stop and ask directions from a local and you may hear: "Go about a half mile past the old Bradshaw place". The "old Bradshaw place" has been gone for 20 years; there is nothing to identify the homestead except a stand of ancient Red Oak trees. The fact that people assume that you actually know the area and the families is endearing. Nowadays if you stop at a truck stop on the interstate and ask basic directions of the young woman clerk she will say she is not from around here....sad.

sigarmsp226And folks in the South know how to make the BEST dang BBQ....No exceptions...BBQ is made from Pork - not any part of a cow....
As a kid we would buy a hog from a neighbor once a year and take it to the local meat house for processing. Nothing was wasted on those hogs. It would fill the deep freeze dang near up with sausage, ribs, shoulders, butts, ham, and bacon....We would give the pig ears and pigs feet to the guy that worked at the processing house as a thank you.....

henryazWhen we first moved to the Deep South (East TX) in 1956, I still recall our Mother taking us three kids aside and telling us we should say "yes Ma'am", "no Ma'am", "yes Sir", and "no Sir" when addressing our elders. This was not the practice in KS and other states we had lived in previously. There is (or at least used to be) a culture of courtesy in the Deep South that is unique. People wave at strangers passing on the roads in rural areas.

That sounds amazing. In these parts there are usually two ways to get anywhere but three are blocked by construction.
