history of small town America


It is nice to live in a small town again. I grew up in Cowpens, South Carolina, which boasts of a population of 2,000. Now we are living in Duluth, Georgia, which has a population of about 37,000. Duluth has the small town atmosphere I had forgotten about. When you live in a metropolitan city like Jacksonville with the population approaching 1 million, you tend to think that you could not live without all the conveniences of a large city. My Mom sent an email this week about attending her 56th high school reunion. Imagine that! - graduating from high school 56 years ago from Tri-High in Caroleen, North Carolina, and then getting married and moving to South Carolina (only about 40 minutes away.) Soon in December, Mom and Dad will celebrate 56 years of marriage, if the Lord wills. Her email reminded me of this website dedicated to preserving the history of Cliffside, North Carolina (pictured above.) The website is called "Remember Cliffside.com" Mom lived near Cliffside in a small community called Sandy Mush, just outside of Caroleen. (click links below for more)
