You know the saying, the further north you go, the more southern it gets. There’s something very special about how the folks up here are. This is Merica, boy.

Now we’ve all heard about Florida rednecks. They’re all over this place. You could probably ask 10 people where the biggest concentration of rednecks are in this big ole state, and you’d get 10 different answers. A lot of people say Cross City and Chiefland have a lot of redneck culture. So I went there. From what I could tell, those places are definitely some shade of neck, but I wasn’t as impressed as I was when I wound up in the most unlikely of places. In early May, I visited Florida’s panhandle. And not just any part of Florida’s panhandle. I wanted to go where I had heard it’s as redneck as they come. The place I picked was little Holmes County, population 19,927. It’s a teeny little spot that’s wedged way up against Alabama. Actually, most people say Holmes County is an EXTENSION of Alabama. That’s why they call this part of the state LA, or lower Alabama.

As I would see, Holmes County is redneck in many ways, there’s no denying that. But it was also full of surprises. And after talking to folks here and looking around for a day, it was clear this part of the state is some of the last true Old Florida we have. And that, folks, is NOT good.
It's too bad more of Florida doesn't look like this anymore.
