Another Fine Southern Town

Last night I stayed in Americus, Georgia, only about 10 miles from Jimmy Carter's hometown of Plains (where he still lives). Americus is a pleasant town with many fine old buildings. I stayed in this one...it's a B and B. Very nice. It's actually one of the newer homes in the 'hood... built in 1906.

This place is across the street from the B and B. It's now a funeral home. It dates from the early 1890s.

Here's a classic Southern manse. Where did Rhett and Scarlett run off to, anyhow?

Gas here in Americus is really cheap! Too bad it took a stock market crash to send it down to this price.
