re: Tell me an interesting random fact about your home state.

Georgia should actually be known as the ‘Peanut State’

Georgia is not actually THE Peach State.
Georgia is usually not even in the top 5-10 in peach production annually.

Little known history fact. Peachtree which stemmed from Standing Peach Tree along the Chattahoochee River, which was a Fort near present day Bolton Rd and the Atlanta Water Works (or whatever it is called now), was a bastardization of the term Pitch Tree. A tree that was coated with tar pitch to identify native land boundaries.

Shout out to Gaffney, SC though


And the Abbott Peach Stand at Cowpens


SC > GA in peach production.

California dwarfs all however.

Well, the Georgia peach is Fair,
Kentucky, beyond compare,
Alabama's grand
(The state, not the band)

Now, the south has her diamonds,
And all of them are great,
But North Carolina
Is the cigarette state

My home state is so civil and polite that it is illegal to honk your horn unless there’s imminent danger of collision.
