Where have I been all my life?

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

I found myself noodling around on Wikipedia (and who hasn’t found themselves doing that) when I found myself reading about Junior Johnson.

You’d think someone who lived in the NC Piedmont for his entire life would have some knowledge about a bootlegger who (apparently) more-or-less inspired the Dukes of Hazzard.

My only excuse (and it’s lame) is that I dimly remember the Dukes of Hazzard being part of Georgia (they were always going to Atlanta) that I figured they must be part of Georgia’s past.

Anyway, this discovery has made me wonder if NC’s only (legal) distillery gives tours…
