Sweet Hovel Alabama
by LeonVance
Montgomery, Alabama - What can be said about a town where Confederate White House is kept in better shape than any of the public schools, where thinly veiled racism still thrives with storefront names like Karen's Kozy Kuts (KKK - get it? Try to keep up with me, we're gonna cover a lot here, knucklehead) to keep unwanted clientele away, where I was told once by a rich Garden District socialite that "the coloreds are like ants - they are everywhere." Sherman should have burned this town full of lynch mobbers down and left Atlanta alone.
