I went down to the Gator-Tail shop a couple weeks ago. I had a very similar experience and saw the same pride in quality in all the people working there. It is a good sized operation but everyone was like family.
I also liked the area. Memphis is overrun with crime, drugs, corrupt politicians, poverty, and all that comes with it. I live out in a "country" area- you know, where the city people buy 5 acres and a pony and call it a farm! It is nice enough but it aint far to ghetto! And it aint far enough that I can shoot my rifles freely around here. Down there, it was very rural but people had nice, well kept houses/farms/gardens/yards, clean businesses, etc. It was obvious that the people.... well, there give-a-damn wasnt broke like it is here. I could smell the entreprenural spirit in south LA (and some crawdads)!
It must be the coast and all those high paying jobs coming from the ports and the oil. Fluor, Valero, BP, Shell, Zachary, etc.
My compliments to you coonasses.
