Ann, I love this about the south. So many lovely mansions.  I went to some in Mississippi and Arkansas with my sister.  She lives in Arkansas and says many are haunted!?!

Jane ~ there are some ghost stories associated with some of the old homes.......but I hope none of these newer ones have any stories like that yet!

Mary ~ Founders Park is just one of many.  The large green park areas are so nice, and then there's the nature preserve.  That's really an unusual thing to find in the middle of such a developed area.  When I drove through yesterday taking pictures I could picture me there!   My pictures don't do it justice at all.
