In the backwoods of Kentucky and in Western NC, yes. Probably a few other places, but I have had it there. Cherokee (the town), NC had a nice little sandwich shop (with a killer BBQ Sandwich, mind you) that served RC products.

It has a small but dedicated fanbase. (mainly rednecks)

Umm.... not exactly. You can find it in almost every grocery store and convenience store (at least that I have been to)

RC Cola and a Moonpie is the classic Southern treat.

NIMK (Not in my Kroger...well, at least I haven't seen any there)

...sorry for the bad play on NIMBY.

According to the AJC article, the classic pairing of Moonpies and RC Cola was because they were both two cheap treats during the Great Depression.

^I've also seen these RC Colas around in various stores... can't pinpoint an exact franchise... I normally shop at Publix but I don't want to say its them, but they are still around.

I had come across a couple of articles on the "Radar" feature at PLANETIZEN and I wanted to post them here before they fell of the "radar screen" completely.

Made in the midstate: Small businesses big part of economic development

The best quote:

The companies Clark talks to now are "innovation-led manufacturers," he said. "It's the type of stuff that you don't offshore. It can only be done here and often in cooperation with universities and (research and development) labs."

Ga. technology conference focuses on farming

Quote:

He and his son, Clay, have one of the nation's most technology advanced family farms. Their tractors, sprayers and harvesters steer themselves using Global Positioning Satellite signals, freeing the Wades to work at laptop computers while the equipment travels through the fields.

I just thought posters here would find these interesting.

I have a request. Does anyone have pics from Rock City? I remember visiting there when I was a kid around the early 80's and don't remember very much except for how impressed I was.

[erdogs]
