Toss breadcrumbs to curious birds and pass another biscuit. When the light turns honey colored, every bite feels like a small blessing.
Courthouse Square Stories
Around the courthouse, benches become confessionals for recipes, routes, and rivalries. Someone swears by paprika, someone else by a splash of pickle juice.
The square smells like lunchtime, with white boxes and napkins fluttering like flags.
You will hear stories of parades, championships, and long afternoons that ended with chicken shared from a tailgate. The clock chimes, and you realize how easy it is to stay.
