Alabama bans Cycles Gladiator wine

Years ago there was a sign flat on the ground near the Knoxville, TN airport, placed so you'd see it if you looked out the airplane window. The sign, if I recall correctly, urged passengers to "Get Right with God."

I recently spent a lot of time in the South after being away for years, and I found the religious signage charming even though none of it represented my beliefs. Maybe it was just nostalgia.

I agree with Mr. Silver about the Confederate stuff.

A memorial to honor dead soldiers? What's wrong with that? They were people. They were someones brother or son. Just because you don't agree with a "small and contrary viewpoint" as MS puts it, doesn't mean there should be no memorial.
It's part of this country's history.

No, this one isn't a memorial to honor dead soldiers - it's a defiant, pistol raised general on a horse in honor of the confederacy. Initially, it also had a billboard stating that "The South will Rise Again"

But decide for yourself if you think that Nathan Bedford Forrest, surrounded by a ring of confederate flags is a memorial to him...and if the fact that it's made out of low cost fiberglass, rather than stone like HIS other monuments, is intended to make a low cost point...or memorialize him is not for me to know(the accompanying billboard is not pictured here...)


It's not a historic item...it's been there just a few years.

Sorry for the hijack!

We have a whole street of those. But I must say, it's a beautiful street.
