Florence and Chuck

When i hear kids talking about going to Florida, i kind of reminds me of listening to conversation on Austrian public transportation. It makes no sense. When most of America packed up and flew south for the summer to worship Coppertone and Panama Jack, we went to Florence, Alabama. Florence is a town full of farmland, woods, creeks and grandma house. This is where Butlers became Butlers. My brothers, sisters and i all learned to drive on a tractor while on our visits to Florence. It is the family retreat, and often like its Italian namesake, a Renaissance because of is revitalizing way.

Below are a few snapshots of Florence-

Chuck Taylors never when out of style. Like Coke crates there is a timeless quality about a purely American product. There will probably be more in this series.
