Only a Southener......... - Page 2

Blanchard, Louisiana, a small town just north of Shreveport, has a Poke Salad festival every year. It's the only one I know of. Poke salad grows wild, so it's gathered by a lot of folks in the south. Saw some growing, and all berried out, at the GA BBQ.

Also, I am SE Louisiana, and you can have a soft drink or something else when you are thirsty.

Please don't paint everybody from a northern state with the same brush.

Some people don't have manners, some do. Some hold the door, some don't.

Unfortunately, rudeness isn't confined to any one part of the country...or globe for that matter.

And a Southern cop - at least the ones around here - will pull out of the funeral procession and pull your butt over if you don't.

Same here, King, and Queen. It's a three day celebration.

Shucks. I must be a little southern at heart. I hold doors open for strangers and ladies; Chivalry is not dead yet.
