Brighton Beach...

I'm married to him.

I'd say the southern Appalachians.

I think this particular distinction goes to the South. Historically, it is the only region to aggressively hold on to slavery, and the only region to secede from the union. Politically, the South, has very distinct voting habits(a product of their very distinct ideology). Culturally the South has given birth to country music, blues, and rock n roll. In addition, the South has also given us a plethora of writers: Faulkner, Wright, Whealty, Tennessee Williams, and Grisham to name a few. A place like no other...

Not to mention grits, fatback, and pork rinds.

I've always wondered why there haven't been more southern enterprisers to open southern-style resturants in northern areas. Grits and sweet tea? Those are absolutely delicious. Perhaps there are no southern enterprisers.

Kentucky Fried Chicken seems to be doing fairly well.

I was thinking about something more. A restaurant, with waitresses, that offers everything KFC does but with a higher quality. You've all probably SEEN the food that this restaurant would serve, just not in the soul food vein; i'm talking grits with enough cheese, butter, salt and pepper to produce a culinary orgasm; i'm talking deep-fried porkchops brimming with a myriad delicious seasons; i'm talking a huge jar filled with ice and sweet tea. I'd hope that all of you, at some time or another, get a chance to enjoy genuine southern food-Like no other.

Egads.................I used to hang out in Brighton Beach, before it became a Russian outpost. Seems like a century ago. Egg drop soup, chow mein, rice, ice cream, tea and a fortune cookie for 45 cents (95 cents after 5 pm. ) I would go to the Brighton Beach Baths. There was a live show every day in the band shell, and we would mambo in our bathing suits.

Then there was the boardwalk...............above and under!

I think that the west is a very distinctive area, around the four corners area. Its landforms are nothing like anywhere on the planet.

We have just such a place in Somerville Massachusetts... in walking distance to my house in Cambridge. I think there is a similar place in Boston proper.

Good, the entire country should know the pleasures of southern culture.

I always wanted to join an armed vigilantee group. I am glad they are coming back in style.

That's a fantastic way to converse! Now it dies....

Tennessee Williams from Iowa.

I really don't understand the CONSTANT desire for people to correct. The especially disagreeable cases are those involving incorrect corrections-Tennessee Williams is from Columbus, Mississippi.
