I'M FROM A SMALL TOWN IN SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA.
SO SMALL THAT WE HAVE ONE WHOLE TRAFFIC LIGHT.
SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE IS NEAR BY, ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR LAKES IN THE SOUTHEAST.
AND GRIT VIRGINIA IS HOME TO MY 3RD COUSIN RICKY VAN SHELTON.
AND FOR SPORTS FANS, MLB'S
TONY WOMACK IS FROM THE AREA, AND I HAD THE PLEASURE OF COACHING LIL LEAGUE AGAINST TONY, KNOWN AS ANTHONY BACK IN THOSE DAYS

AINT NO BIG THING.......
SIGNS YOU WILL SEE AS YOU ARE DRIVING INTO TOWN,

TOBACCO IS STILL AN IMPORTANT CROP FOR THE AREA.
WORKED MY SHARE IN THE TOBACCO FIELDS GROWING UP.
EVERYONE SHOULD PULL WET TOBACCO AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIVES!!   LOL
