Gatlinburg's a Rebel Kind of Town

Even as the Confederate flag comes under increasing attack, you'd never know it here in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Although, there is more of that oppressive Tennessee orange Vols color and lots of Smoky Mountains stuff for sale, you will find lots of items with the Confederate flag on them, including hats, stickers, tee shirts and the actual flags ranging from 3 by 5 footers to small hand-held ones.

"Southern by Grace of God," "If This Offends you, then it's good," "Proud of my Southern Heritage" and so forth are often emblazoned on them.

Keep it Flying. --Old B-Runner
