Postcard from Hell

Drove through north Greenville County (SC) today: Travelers Rest, Marrietta, Slater, and Cleveland. There were FAR more pickup trucks than usual flying Confederate flags from their beds. Especially in and around Travelers Rest. Quite disturbing, actually.
My car is clean. No bumper stickers at all (I do have a South Carolina Vietnam Veteran license plate). But I drive an old Prius. I'm afraid that may mark me as an outsider in their little corner of Hell.

I'm on my phone now so I can't regale you with stories about it now. But it was the same 30 yrs ago.
