I don't remember seeing this ad here before either. It certainly was well done and the Hawk fit in perfectly. Possibly somebody here from the Palmetto Chapter can identify the Hawk.Joe Roberts

As for the ad, many of us, who were born here, kind of chuckle at it. Us "natives," remember when the "so called" beautiful waterfalls of the "Reedy River" was mostly a stinking open sewer. Back in the 1950's & '60's, the water foamed with all sorts of litter, trash, and smelly chemicals. All sorts of "upstream" manufacturers and businesses, dumped waste into the stream. All the fish had died off, and about the only living organisms besides bacteria were crawlfish (crayfish), frogs, turtles, and banded water snakes.
It is great that the place has been cleaned up, but the subsequent (and ongoing) development has led to urban sprawl that has pretty much ruined the area, chasing away wildlife, where the night call of the whippoorwill has been replaced by the sound of emergency sirens. During the day, in the distance, I hear the clanking of bulldozer tracks...like an invading army of tanks, as they remove more & more forested land, and replace it with new rows of future slums. The developments begin to degrade almost as soon as the ink dries on the mortgage. Some call it "progress," but to me...Tranquility Lost.
I may not live to see it, but someday, the entire expanse from Atlanta Georgia to Arlington Virginia, might be an indistinguishable expanse of ghetto. End of rant.John Clary
