Every town in this country looks the same from the
interstate. There are Outback Steak Houses, Academy Outdoors, and Applebees at
every exit on every interstate in every city: and they all are the same damn
place. No matter whether they are in Atlanta Georgia or Nashville Tennessee the
food is same, the bartenders are the same, even the people at the bar are the
same.
A few weeks back, after a good couple of days in the
southern Louisiana swamp, I decided to get off of Interstate 10 and take
Highway 90 east for a few miles. It was one of those decisions that was made
with out any real consideration, or regard to outcome. I just got off the
interstate.
After deciding to drive down Highway
90 I washed my hands in the Gulf of Mexico, and found a great hand tossed pizza and a cold Southern Pecan on tap at an outside table with this view.
I decide then and there that if I have to be on the road all
time; I should take it upon myself to REALLY experience all the southern US has
to offer. After all, every town has something unique. Baton Rouge has grilled cheese
sandwiches; Jackson has a good baseball team; and Tuscaloosa has ribs. Then I
decided to do my best to share it, so I packed a camera and started taking
pictures.
