Ahh, Fall. The orange and golden leaves in our own backyards and the crisp coolness in the air remind us that we're in the middle of a very special season in the South. Our southern friends "James" (Atlanta Smiles) and "Charley" (Charley's Columbia Backyard) enjoy meeting new friends at school and during their afternoon sports. Welcoming new neighbors to their hometowns or sharing their knowledge of their capital cities is always top on their lists as well. In both Atlanta and Columbia, celebrate touchdowns during college football season, and be sure to try some hot, boiled peanuts while watching! Like characters James and Charley, take this fall season to meet new friends, introduce them to places they've never been, and enjoy all your capital city has to offer!
