The Real South

The only Experience I had in The South is when my family goes to Florida for a vacation. Its kind of different there though, from the image of The South I have in my head. Lots of Over-Alls, banjos, fried chicken paired with biscuits and gravy. That is what I imagine everyone eats. When we go down there as a family, its mostly old people wearing white shoes, white pants and driving around in white golf carts. But they don't have white golf gear in the back. They aren't even wearing white, knuckle-less gloves! Most of my prior ideas or thoughts were shattered and I have been a wreak for too long
All that changed a few days ago when I got a chance to see The Real South. I was in Atlanta and having the time-of-my-life experiencing true Southern Life as I was in connection to a Baltimore flight. It was't the way I thought or expected it to be. It wasnt even over average. Fried chicken was not offered to me as I stepped off the plane, and I do love fried chicken, people were not yelling all-the-time, making judements and demands. I felt fine beyond all expectations!
So if anyone wants to expereince The Real South, don't go to Georgia because there is absolutly nothing in anyway, or form there that represents The True Southern Life.
