This is downtown Smith's Station where the Del Ranch bar is located, scene
of some great music, including shows with Dockery & Conley.. The country
music singer-songwriter Conway Twitty graduated from high school at
Smith's... I'm not sure if he's known or remembered very much anywhere but
around here but he had some big hits back in the 1960s-70s.
Smith's Station is about 10 miles out of town from here

Hell, Atlanta is considered North to many folks around here... heh.
Curious, in what part of the world are you located?

Exactly as far, really. Shadowville (a district of Columbus, Georgia) sits
on the Georgia-Alabama border, seperated by the Chattahoochie River...
Alabama's about a ten minute ride from where I type this, just over the
bridge, in Phenix City:

As you get out into the country more, absolutely, though with Fort Benning
being here, pretty much /any/ war will do for the folks around here...
Benning's been a big influence on this area since at least WW2, which keeps
a lot of the economy troubles from hitting too hard, with the built-in
income from the thousands of soldiers who come to town to shop. Also, with
so many military people settling and retiring here (including my father, one
of thousands of soldier who married a Southern girl and stayed here with
her) almost everyone it seems is from "someplace else".

Oh yeah, Rebel flags are all over the place around here, including (up until
a year or so ago) the Georgia stae flag!

You might consider adding Shadowville to your tour, since this is the site
of the "last land battle" of the Civil War:
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bellware/
"...The list also includes Columbus, Georgia the location of a little known
engagement that took place on April 16,1865. And, surprising as it sounds,
Columbus is the site of the actual 'Last Battle of the Civil War.' [...] In
short, the battle was the last significant engagement of Wilson's Raid where
Bvt. Maj. General James Harrison Wilson lead three divisions through Alabama
and into Georgia in the Spring of 1865. [...] In short, the battle was the
last significant engagement of Wilson's Raid where Bvt. Maj. General James
Harrison Wilson lead three divisions through Alabama and into Georgia in the
Spring of 1865. The divisions were lead by Generals Emory Upton, Edward
McCook and Eli Long. After taking Selma and Montgomery on April 2 and April
12, 1865 respectively, they headed to Columbus, Georgia, which they
captured. Upton's division was the one most involved in the attack on
Columbus. His brigades were lead by Generals Andrew J. Alexander and Edward
F. Winslow. Major General Howell Cobb commanded the 3,000 Confederate troops
in defense of Columbus.
Alexander's brigade attempted to capture the lower bridge between Girard and
Columbus at about 2 p.m. on Easter Sunday April 16, 1865, but was repulsed.
General Upton decided to try a nightault and received General Wilson's
approval. General Winslow lead the attack on the 14th Street bridge after
dark, about 8 p.m. By 10 p.m. the bridge was captured and Columbus fell.
General Wilson made his headquarters at the Mott House on the river. The
last person killed in the battle was Colonel C.A.L. Lamar of General Cobb's
staff. He was shot from his horse at the foot of the bridge a few yards from
the Mott house. Wilson left for Macon, GA on April 18. Johnston's truce with
Sherman ceased hostilities in that theater before General Wilson arrived in
Macon on April 20, 1865..."
This "last battle" actually led to the creation of Coca-Cola, no kidding:

Just an interesting tidbit. There would be no coke if one stray mini-ball
had hit John Pemberton an inch or two higher.
A week after Lee surrendered at Appomatox and a few days after Lincoln was
shot, a huge force of Union cavalry led by Gen. James Wilson was bearing
down on Columbus, Georgia. It's goal was to strike across the Chattahoochee
River into the heart of Georgia. During the battle, which took place in
Phenix City, Alabama, a Columbus pharmacist named John Pemberton charged
across one of the bridges into the teeth of the Union advance. He was
slashed with a saber and shot. Only the quick thinking of a friend saved
his life by leading him off the field of battle.
The wounds were painful, and Pemberton worked most of his life to find an
adequate pain killer. He experimented with what was thought to be the
miracle drug of the day: coca leaves (cocaine to me and you). He came up
with a concoction some years later in Atlanta. It didn't go over big as a
pain remedy, but did go over big as a fountain drink: it was Coca-Cola. So
the next time you're pondering alternative histories while drinking down a
nice cool coke, remember only by the grace of God are you enjoying a coke.

Anyway, if you do happen to make it down this way, I'll give you the tour...
which would mainly involve some excuses to drop in and jam with various
folks, maybe write a song together...
