There is a LOT of truth to this. I have been amazed at the lack of respect for family history down here. So many folks don’t care that Ma and Pa Kettle busted their ass to carve an existence out of the wildernesses, many years ago. The family land and heritage means nothing when a pos developer is offering up the big bucks. Seem like the same old pot bellied dude with a goatee talking about selling family land, so they can buy a place at Holden Beach. Can’t put all the blame on those moving down, when locals are selling out like they are. The biggest issue with those moving down here is the lack of integration and respect for our way of life. Also, the northeasterners have a bit of a brash personality at times, which doesn’t translate well to our culture. Many down here feel a bit invaded and overwhelmed.
30 years ago I got the chance to buy may Grandparents farm.
Now it is time to transfer it to my Daughter. I told her when I’m gone she can decide what to do with it and circumstances may make it the best thing to do. However, before she does, think about a piece of land her blood has owned for almost 100 years and what that means.
