  1. Fort Pulaski, Georgia Wishes You Were Here

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 25 May 2012

    “We were absolutely isolated,” Confederate commander, Col. Charles H. Olmsted said of the bombardment on Fort Pulaski in Georgia. I muttered to myself the same as I approached this 19th century fort on Cockspur Island, around 15 miles east of Savannah. A glassy moat surrounding fortified bricks only furthers those feelings of being very much [...]

  4. The World’s Largest High-Relief Sculpture, Was Nearly One of the World’s Greatest Boondoggles

    Blog: Hole In The Donut - 30 April 2012

    My first glimpse of the monumental sculpture carved into the massive granite dome known as Stone Mountain was slightly disappointing. From the viewing platform the three sculpted figures of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson were dwarfed by the sheer immensity of the naked rock that thrusts [...]

  5. Making Magic at REV Coffee

    Blog: Hole In The Donut - 7 April 2012

    “If you’re a vegetarian how do you get enough vitamin B?” Harold asked. Charles chimed in on my behalf: “Quinoa. It’s an ancient grain that was originally cultivated in Peru and it has one of the highest concentrations of vitamin B of any food, plus it’s high in protein.” I checked his information; as usual [...]

  11. Northwest Arkansas Wishes You Were Here

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 25 November 2011

    It’s Saturday night and Alice Walton is calling the hogs. The traditional Arkansas Razorback football hog call is something outsiders like myself never completely understand. The “Woo, Pig, Sooie!” cannot be uttered at certain times and comes with an entire set of hand gestures akin to jazz hands, jazz hands. And yet, in this northwest [...]

  12. The Bold Civility of Montgomery, Alabama

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 9 November 2011

    “Alright Big Daddy girl, will you have a banana pudding?”, the rough and tough waitress asked me in Montgomery, Alabama. I had ordered a barbecue pork sandwich called the “Big Daddy” which apparently gave me the fine title of “Big Daddy Girl” for the evening. She was the type of waitress who told me Blue [...]

  13. Savannah, Georgia Wishes You Were Here

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 28 October 2011

    Spanish moss drapes over live oak trees in the creepiest of fashions. I could only be in one city, supposedly America’s most haunted, depending on whom you ask. Savannah, Georgia regales in the thought of being both beautiful and exceedingly spooky.   Laid out on a series of grids, disrupted by over 20 public squares, [...]

    It is a Saturday, the perfect day for unadulterated laziness. The week is gone and the weekend has arrived. I hop in the car with coffee in hand on this Saturday morning to explore Pawleys Island. Crossing over a causeway, embraced by salt marshes on each side, the disconnect between the mainland to this barrier [...]

  23. 24 Hours of Ambling Around Asheville

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 28 September 2011

    I wonder what Thomas Wolfe really thought of Asheville, North Carolina. A man who would never live down penning the line, “You can’t go home again,” did have a home in Asheville and his remains are still here. George Vanderbilt would disagree about this mountain town, ideally located in Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountain [...]
