Georgia curiosities : quirky characters, roadside oddities & other offbeat stuff

Summary: This book is your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Peach State has to offer! Visit the home of what-could-be-Elviss wrist wart; the birthplace of a tree that owns itself; and the zig-zag wall of cultural-cosmic-colored totems. Meet a pig-costume-wearing reverend colonel; a votive-voodoo-birthday-candle carrying packrat; and a crazy-for-kangaroo-conservation tour guide. Try a savory chunk o chitlin; a salty swig of Lumpy Coke; and a MoonPie that locals claim is out of this world! Whether youre a born-and-raised Georgian or a recent transplant, author William Schemmel will have you laughing out loud as he introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existedright in your own backyard. This laugh-out-loud giude will introduce readers to a different side of the Peach State. With this guide in hand, they can tour the cities and swamplands, and then hit the road to pick their own Kiwis, chase a greased pig during Climax Swine Time, or welcome the buzzards back to their winter roost. - Publisher.
