I've learned a lot from this thread that has evolved from a discussion of the Confederate flag that is being flown over a memorial to one of SoWal's race relations and the lack of minorities in SoWal. It has become a very interesting thread to analyze and read. There are many facets to the populace of SoWal. Retired, new business people, restaurantuers, real estate personnel and many others. It is probably the most interesting place I have ever lived and that includes a lot of places. A large part of my thoughts and observations are now due to what I consider a very useful and viable website...SoWal.com.
