Nobody told me there’d be days like these….

Yeeee-haw! It’s all about the small-town this week as I venture into Redneck Country down in south Georgia.

For the past two days I’ve been staying in the sprawling metropolis of Eastman. They have a handful of stoplights and two hotels. I picked the “good” one out by the railroad tracks, where the train runs by every couple of hours at night and blows it’s horn, waking me up. The locals tell me you can rent rooms by the hour at the other hotel in town. Mmm… I’m in a good place.

This little hellhole doesn’t even have a decent restaurant, I know, I’ve looked. Now if you’re a fast food junkie, you’re in heaven. There’s McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Wendy’s, Subway, etc. But if you’re looking for a Chili’s, Applebee’s, or an Outback Steakhouse. Fahgeddaboutit. Yesterday we went to this place for lunch where you could actually sit down for a meal… but it was hot as hell inside, the waitress couldn’t crack a smile to save her life and their version of a “medium” hamburger includes, burned, blackened, crispy edges. Mmmm, yum.

After lunch, I had a few moments to myself, so I swung by Wal-Mart. Every town has a Wal-Mart. But I haven’t been in a Wal-Mart this small since I started junior high school. In this world of Super Wal-Marts, this is one town still stuck in the 80’s. The place is small, and I didn’t even find what I was looking for! I know the Super Wal-Marts carry it…. ugh.

Fortunately, today I get to leave Eastman…. but unfortunately, I get to head to an even smaller town. I’ll let you know how that is tomorrow.
