Living out loud in the Carolinas

It’s the heat, ya’ll

Jon thinks the heat must get to all southerners when it comes time to name things. It cracks him up that the farther south you go, the more quaint the names get. There’s Highway 44 and on Highway 44 is the Highway 44 restaurant. While looking at houses for sale in our county we came upon a street named Real Quiet Court. And for Mother’s Day we went to one of my favorite southern restaurants, The Lizard’s Thicket. It’s a country cookin’ place without much to do with lizards, so we can’t figure out where they got the name from. But you can’t beat a place that hangs its menu on the wall and still gives you a meat and 3 veggies for less than $6.

    Yum! That cracks me up about the names. We have a little of that in Maryland, too. Lots of things that begin with Swamp and Muddy. I think it should begin with Mosquito, that’s more accurate.

    What are the other street names? Real Quiet is a race horse who won the Kentucky Derby among other races. Maybe the subdivision had a “horsey” theme!
