Fireworks and Groceries

In preparation for the 4th of July Independence Day Kevin, Mary, Levi, and I made the impulsive decision of driving 4 hours and two states down to South of the Border on July 2nd. As the photos will show SOB is the most artificial place on earth. Its location is just south of the North Carolina border with South Carolina - hence the name. Started as a minor hot dog stand/pit stop exactly half way between New York and Florida it now sports gaming rooms, a casino, 4 restraunts, a hotel, and a small amusement park. But for the rest of us it has three fireworks warehouses - YEY! South Carolina has less stringent laws on explosives so people come from all over to get their fill. It was over a 100 degrees and there were no natural trees anywhere on the parking lots but it was a fun trip. SOB also served to show Levi a side of America he never would have experienced in a cultured city or up in the quiet mountain town. Frankly put - there is no where like it in the world, Thank God!
