The Southern Chord
Dispatches From The American South.
Grits. Gospel. Charleston. Camellias. The American South is a region rich with colorful personalities, stately homes and lush gardens, foot-stompin' music and provocative theatre, sandy beaches and fog-draped mountains, and of course, fried chicken and craft bourbons.
The Southern Chord is designed as a gathering spot for feature stories celebrating the many faces of Southern American Culture and collecting conversations, photography and film shorts from across the Carolinas and Virginia, farther south into Georgia and Florida, and west into Tennessee and Kentucky,
Welcome to the American South. Pull up a rocking chair, sit a spell and enjoy.
