Welcome to Dixie Drive, the main drag through that little town up the road. Make a right or left onto any side street and who knows what or who you might come across. These folks are as unpredictable as a squirrel in the street on a hot summer's day and they don't care what you think about it. They're not hurting anybody, (except maybe themselves). they're just playing their cards with the hand they were dealt, so stand back and we'll see what they come up with next. The folks near Dixie Drive might reside in some backwater southern town and some of their weirdness may be particularly "Southern" but don't kid yourself, this is Small Town America: the same animal from Portland East to Portland West. Woof!

That’s not just in the South. And it also applies to teen-aged girls.

It never fails: When I ask directions around here, it’s always near where something used to be!

With all the new subdivisions named after what used to be there…..
“Can you tell me where ’Pecan Grove Subdiv is?”
“You know where the pecan trees used to be?”

Excellent comment. I shall use that phrase if you don’t mind.

I once asked a young lady at a convenience store, in Iowa, where a motel was. She told me to go down to the Stop n Go, turn right, go one mile and turn left at the next Stop n Go. I drove around looking for convenience stores called Stop n Go. They are traffic lights. Not stores!

That used to happen more before GPS devices when I asked for directions, but due to circumstances it still happens. While in NJ I asked and was told to pass the large oak before turning, but the resident did not know the tree was gone in the super storm.
