First general outing...

[beowulf67]

Sounds like a great first outing. If you really like the stares permit me to be bold enough to recommend:

1. Advanced Auto Parts

2. Food Lion

3. Dollar General Store

4. The Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or TGI Friday's.

5. Tractor Supply Store or Southern States.

Hey watch it! No badmouthing of Southern states allowed.

Unless you were born here. Like me.

We do have a fine collection of in-bred, backward a$$ country folks and they might give you a strange look now and again. On the other hand, most of them look strange all the time so who would notice?

Besides I've met plenty of redneck bumpkins from north of the Mason-Dixon line.

I wasn't born... I was pieced together out of factory seconds.

I have to agree. I live in Alaska, and we have our fair share of " backward a$$ country folks" too.

Born in the Blue Ridge - Abingdon Virginia. I meant the feed store. Went back to where I grew up and stopped in at a store I actually worked in as a teen. Talk about a showstopper.

I know what you mean about the North. My first restaurant job in New Jersey the owner looked at me and said "Ya know, I normally don't hire any anglos kid, but I think you'll do allright".

The Southern States guys thought it was pretty brave, and unique, just took them a minute to wrap their minds around the idea.
