American Baptist Theological Seminary.
Baptist World Center Drive, not too far from I-24 in Northwestern Nashville TN. This is a huge modern church, convention headquarters, and seminary school. A stupendous huge obelisk (one of Henry's interests) proceeds up from the huge interior lobby floor, then exits the building through a glass roof, to dominate the surrounding landscape. The Washington Monument, at 555 feet, finds a rival!! I have an interest in Obelisks, ever since creating a Giant Sundial which uses a 18 foot high Obelisk as the Gnomen (pointer, shadow maker.)

University of the South: Walk onto the Sewanee Campus and you step back 1000 years to Merry Medieval England!!
Sewanee TN. On this medium sized campus, all ~20 buildings and a huge Cathedral are a careful honest re-creation of the Church-Monastery-Medieval that was the look of our original European Universities. When you explore, you feel as if you were strolling the halls and covered walkways of An Olde Medieval Oxford University itself!! A walk back into history!! It will sink into your bones!! It's a DON'T MISS! Sewanee is just 6 miles off I-24 between Nashville and Chattanooga/Atlanta. On your Tennessee map, look about 1 inch above the Georgia border. Note pink clouds showing my arrived at sunset. All subsequent Sewanee photos were taken in the developing dusk.

Episcopal Cathedral at University of the South.
Sewanee TN. This wide screen display shows this fantastic recreated Medieval Cathedral. This photograph is a "panorama". It is a composite of four individual photos with imperfections in the "stitch" discernable in the three places where you see funny "lean" of the buildings or in duplicate tree branches near the panorama top. Note Bride and Photographer at right of panorama. Instructions on viewing panorama photos: Mouse click on the picture until you get the biggest view.

Episcopal Cathedral Main Entrance Closer View.
Episcopal Cathedral at University of the South,
Sewanee, TN. Every part of this Cathedral is just fantastic! Notice the "fan" design in the windows on both sides of the door. Above and obstructed by leaves, see stained glass rose window. Medieval history carved in stone and "come alive"! The "Stone Book"!

Episcopal Cathedral Interior View of Rose Window In Reduced Light of Dusk.
Episcopal Cathedral at University of the South,
Sewanee, TN. Every part of this Cathedral is just fantastic! The several different alters, the choir benches, the organ, the small nooks & crannies, the designs in the inlayed marble floor and of course the windows. You should reserve 2 hours just to study and absorb the stained glass colors and symbols. Truly this building is a "Great Stone Book" as Umberto Eco was right to say. Everything the medieval person needed to know about life and his religion was in the stones and windows of "The Book"!

A Really Creative Building! North Wall and Portico, Student Dining Hall, University of the South.
Main Avenue, University of the South,
Sewanee, TN. Again I say: “Medieval in look and feel but done in a modern mode”. For example, see all the large clear glass panels. The glow of the interior many spiked chandelier is seen in the gathering dusk and clouds. Definitely a successful "creation", worthy of your visit to Sewanee, and the University of the South!

I did not get my camera out soon enough: Daughter Catherine had just left for her second year at North Georgia College in Dahlonega GA, Northeast of Atlanta.

Site of the Former “Bonner’s Private Cub.
Town Square, Crawfordsville, GA. Here hangs the long tale of how I finally found my Georgia Barbecue!! Soon after Suzanne and I came to South Carolina, we discovered a very nice southern small town restaurant in Crawfordville, GA. Several times on trips to Atlanta, we would go back for a bit more "down home southern cooking". I have many memories of the area, since the original home and plantation of Confederate Vice-President Alexander Stephens (open to the public) is also at Crawfordville. We took our three children to the plantation when they were small, and I have revisited the plantation more recently. .. On our first visit to Crawfordville I couldn't find the restaurant! I circled the Courthouse Square three times wondering where the “down town” businessman’s restaurant was. ALL small towns have at least one!! I finally spotted "Bonner's Private Club". Hummmmm. I wonder what that is? Well, to make a long story short …. Our family marched right into the "private club” andhad a good noon meal! We later figured out that the restaurant had been “re-named’ to block integration! This was the late 70's!

A Good Plate of Georgia Bar-B-Que Is Not Very Far Away!
Town Square, Crawfordsville, GA. After leaving the Southland's, and traveled East, I planned to renew memories of Crawfordsville, local area, and see if there had been any changes in Bonner’s Private Club, a restaurant my family and I had visited many a time as we traveled old Rt278 (pre Interstate days) on our return trips from family “up North”. I had the time and had not been there in 20 years. And why not get lunch at that restaurant in Crawfordville, GA? I got off I-20, traveled backcountry roads "to-get-me-my-lunch". It was after 1:00 p.m. I was getting hungry with anticipation. .. But time has changed Crawfordville. It is practically a ghost town! Over half of the old businesses were closed, including "Bonner's Private Club". Interstate-20 was built through this area 30 years ago. The restaurants could not stay in business with all the customers now ten miles away. While taking photographs in Crawfordville, I saw a “Hickory Smoked Bar-B-Que” sign. That settled the matter. It had been over 3 months since I had a "good-plate-of-BBQ". But oops, the sign pointed west. Wrong direction! I had to go East to South Carolina and home!! With increasing hunger and feeling of low blood sugar, I followed the slow congested old main highway US 78/278. Thinking hour after hour, surely a great BBQ would be just around the corner. And usually they are. I was really hungry when, 45 miles later I found the first hint of BBQ on the East side of Thompson, GA. It was nearly 3:00 p.m. (Continued next.)

Be Sure To Stop Here For a Good Plate of Hickory Smoke Cooked Bar-B-Que! Your Meal Will Come Complete With all the Trimmings! Do Not Miss It!
Neil’s Bar-B-Que, Thompson, GA. Finally Success!! Neil's was clearly a town favorite, as judged from all the cars outside, and from all the filled tables inside! Despite the 3:00 p.m. late hour, the Saturday Georgia appetite was still bringing 'em in! And Neal's WAS good! Good enough to happily justify the prolonged search! Some of that great BBQ was still in our freezer three months later!

BBQ Preparation Area Just Outside Hickory Smoke Charcoal Cooking Pit.
Neil's Bar-B-Que, Thompson, GA. The restaurant owner/manager is in center, with two of Neil's “pit operators” (i.e. the cooks). On my ZMM Research trip I had, as part of my research, developed the habit of photographing "the whole scene" of all the "ZMM Restaurants". So Neil's became part of my Research. When I asked for permission to (merely) take photos of the restaurant interior, Ms. Owner instead gave me a complete tour of the charcoal-cooking pit and posed these pictures. I have five more photos if you are interested.

Oil Cloth Covered Tables and Serving Counter.
Neil's Bar-B-Que, Thompson, GA. Ms. Owner, in center, is getting me a Neil's business card and menu so I can send her information about BBQ's in South Carolina. She was very interested in David Gurr's story about how/where BBQ got its name. (Ask me some time.) She asked about BBQ's in my area. I have yet to send back the answer to her question about whether our own Caroling BBQ still uses all-hickory wood for the cooking coals and still cooks a whole ½ hog over the fire, instead just individual hams. Carolina BBQ, Main Street, New Ellenton SC, has the “in” BBQ here in the Aiken, SC area!! It’s the Best! But Neil’s BBQ is nearly as good!!

When I See the Canal and Millrace for the Graniteville Company, An Old Southern Cotton Mill, I Know I’m Almost Home!
Canal Street, Graniteville, SC. This photograph, taken from the main highway bridge in village center, is for me a favorite and familiar scene. This canal is 2 miles from my home of 23 years. A welcomed feeling, since I'm practically home after a 3 month, 3000 photo, 10,000 mile trip! Graniteville, was one of those old notorious paternalistic mill-towns, where once upon a time, the company owned the whole town, built (and rented) for it’s employees ALL the homes, AND held a big debt over every employee. The Graniteville Company has dominated the cotton mill industry in our area for 150 years. It once owned the majority of the cotton mills in the Aiken SC -Horse Creek Valley SC-Augusta GA area, and still is the major employer in the area.
