I remember a time when Going down south meant getting away from the crime and chaos of the Big City.
Kids in the 70's spent the summers with extended family Down South and loved it. Down South was different
back then. If the Big City was Hell then in caparison Down South was Heaven. But that was the 70's and 80's.
Yes, i'm an old head, lol.....and I probably would have never made it this far without the escape of going Down South.
Now Down South is like the Wild West, everybody strapped, shootouts in broad daylight. Damn bruh, where did the love go....
Peace to my fellow Gen Xers, God speed to the Millennials and Gen Z.
Shittttt went down south for the summer 91-93, learned to:
Cook crack
Trade crack for cars
Roll blunts
Smoke blunts
Get sucked by a chic 5 years older
Lose my virginity
Fall for this beauty queen named Equasta(black)
Stabbed at a party
Hear about my cousin killing a white crackhead
Find the truth out, say nothing
Indictment list and what it meant.
And this is all in a small country town in Tenn.
Point is, down south been hot for 30 plus years, atleast. Once the Autocar companies started building manufacturers in the south, so came a lot of the problems and people with it from up north.
