You Know You’re From Albany / Leesburg, GA When… |
|
Everyone you know is either Baptist or Methodist. Iced tea is a staple of every meal. You actively look out for deer whenever you drive at dusk. You have or you knwo someone who has accidentally hit a deer. You know that guy who sits in the recliner in the back of his pickup on Slappey Boulevard. Panama City Beach is the big deal. Rebel flags are the predominant car decoration. You understand that at least once a year your car will turn yellow with pollen. It’s a massive snowstorm when an inch falls. You knew all the cops in town, because they are somehow related to you or you know their family. You know at least one Bubba, and maybe a few guys named Bo. All the real concerts are in Atlanta. Wal- mart is the cool place to go in the middle of the night. You say “tuna fish sandwich.” Anyone who orders a “pop” must be a dork. It’s a Coke, silly! You know all the latest country music songs, naturally. Even if you hate country music. You remember and miss the big tree across from the STOCKS market by Phelema road. You took class field trips to Chehaw park and tried to pet the wild peacocks. “Ya’ll” and “ain’t” are key vocabulary words. Doesn’t everyone own a Laborador Retriever or two??? You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Albany and Leesburg. |
