Established in 1732, Georgia was the last of the original 13 colonies to be founded. Unlike the other British American colonies, the Georgia founders, the Trustees , attempted to prohibit Black slavery between 1735 and 1750. The members were motivated by economic and social interests, not moral implications.

Think Dollywood can’t get any more Southern? The Smokies resort said hold my rhinestones with its latest brand collab celebrating the true flavor of summer: mayonnaise. No Southern spread is complete without mayo, from Alabama BBQ sauce to a classic chocolate sheet cake. And how would we ever have a salad? Cucumber. Chicken. Egg. Mayo makes everything taste better and it makes summer dishes sing. Perhaps that’s why Duke’s Mayonnaise has become the official mayo of Dollywood. You read that right. Dolly and Duke’s all in one theme park. Dollywood will now use Duke’s exclusively at all culinary outlets across Dollywood Parks & Resorts.

Cantaloupe is a mainstay of a fresh fruit salad. It's also enjoyed in various other forms on its own, such as sliced for a hand-held snack, scooped into poppable melon balls, or blended and frozen into a creamy dessert.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Southerners are experts at mixing the old with the new. Whether it’s a leather purse or an old wooden chest, Southerners know how to see the heirloom quality of what might otherwise be considered hand-me-downs. Tour any Southern home, and you're likely to find family stories in every room—from the cast-iron skillet in the kitchen to a plush stack of quilts in the guest bedroom. Sometimes we’re just being sentimental, but we promise there’s some practicality at play too.
