Just rural America. by drmcnasty
So I have lived in Savannah for 7 years now and heard about Tiger Ridge for the first time a few days ago. Skeptical of most things I did all my research and decided to gas up the bike and take a little ride. With no malicious intent I figured I had nothing to worry about. I drove past on accident because I couldn’t hear my gps over the bike. I turned around and headed back. Right before the turn there was a gentleman outside of his house selling potatoes but being on a bike I had no way to carry them or I would have stopped. I took the turn onto Lura Rd. and became a little bit concerned because of all the others who had been out there making fun of the residents and gawking at them. I saw nothing out of the ordinary. No deformed kids in the trees or large headed people nor did I expect to. What I did see was an old fashion homestead. A few trailers and a couple houses. They all had newer cars parked outside of them. Like I said it’s just rural america. I feel bad for the residents there. These people were an isolated community back in the day due to location. Now they are isolated by location and rumors and half truths. I would love to meet the residents and converse with them about the good parts of growing up there. The place has a negative history true but so do most rural communities. There is nothing to be afraid of there unless you have malicious intent. There is nothing on Lura Rd. except a family homestead and unless you plan on being friendly with the residents then you have no business there. I would have a beer or a glass of tea with the lura rd residents any day.
