Lots of popular movies were filmed in South Carolina, from “The Notebook” and “Full Metal Jacket,” to “Prince of Tides,” “Sleeping with the Enemy,” and of course, “Swamp Thing.”
Lexington, KY, bluegrass country. Home to famous race horses throughout the years. 2 race tracks in town, and of course nearby Churchill Downs in Louisville with the Kentucky Derby.
Born and raised in Louisiana and moved up here where there's actually 4 seasons - and looking out at the snow coming down as we speak (er, type) - beautiful!
Fort Worth, TX-- You can actually order and eat calf fries (bull beef testicle) here at some restaurants! Rattlesnake appetizers too!
