Thanks Rowan!

I'm from the South. Mostly!


Dallas GA is 25 miles from Atlanta
About 8,000 people who are "y'all come...ya hear?" friendly.

Historically ...it was a battlefield in the Civil War
CSA troops fortified the area in a desperate effort
to delay Sherman on his march to the sea.

So a village of 50 trademen and farmers were
surrounded with thousands of fighters.
Leaving 5,400 dead and wounded.
Historical markers are plentiful and tours popular.

Before GA.....I lived in southern IL. and SE MO.
then on to AK....AL...KS...VA...MD....FL

I lived the longest in and it's my
hearts home......Washington D.C.
