I?d say that the vast majority would not be in person what perceived by posts. You can garner some generalizations from posts because words have no human interaction behind them. Or human visualization . I often think about that and try to picture posters and know I?m probably way the hell off.

Oh I know we?d enjoy it. Just have to make it happen. I love exploring old towns and just walking around talking to people. Went to a wedding in Greensboro Alabama last November. I had all Saturday before night wedding to do what I wanted. Just walked around downtown. Went into shops and stores, and maybe some old abandoned buildings I shouldn?t have. Love seeing how things used to be and the structure materials and construction.

Knight Butcher for the win

To this day, I still maintain you should not have been suspended for stomping on those two LSU players back in '14!!!***

Lol! That was a good description of Day... maybe a little beefier.

The best part about the Sugar Bowl is you know Ole Miss completely expected to dominate the game and go off and pretend that it's still 1959 on Bourbon St. Talk about a reality check slap!

The new season started two episodes ago. What they have done, for Laurel, has been amazing, I have read an article, or two, talking about a few other small towns have taken note, and are working towards the same goal.
Also, I have wondered how the small town, of Wetumka, AL, is doing since they completed their revitalization on the Hometown Takeover series.

Laurel downtown was so rundown and scummy and not safe not that long ago. The transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. Wetumpka is night and day difference from what it was before and after. I was just over there last month and it's amazing. Obviously I don't agree with their choice of schools, lol, but they've pumped new life into laurel and Jones county. Wetumpka has some awesome Christmas displays and stuff to do that time of year if you get over that way. There's a guy over there that decorated his house just like the Griswolds, RV and all and even hires characters to play Clark and cousin Eddie

So do I. That is why I enjoy shows such as Barnwood Builders and Houses With History. It still surprises me to see the low doors and ceilings, and realize how short people were in the Colonial and early settlers times. Their lives were hard work. They were a resourceful, determined, innovative, and resilient people.

Whatever happened to CG's in Laurel? I remember my Mammaw and Pappaw taking me and my brother there sometimes when we'd visit them in Ellisville.

Haha! I would love to drive over to Wetumka and see that next Christmas. Would just like to see the town anyway. My older son & his family are supposed to be back, from Germany, and living in Meridian before then. It would be a short drive from there. Thanks for the update on Wetumka. Ate lunch downtown Laurel a couple of years ago, and we could not believe the change. It was mid week ... cars and people everywhere.... definitely thriving.

It closed years ago. It's a subway now. My papaw used to take me there after we'd been to the stockyards to buy cattle. Good times.
