Where to hold a southeast Chowfest
Hmm. this is a good one. Because as we all know florida is almost always warm with beaches, but it is the farthest south. North Caroloina is the farthest north. Don't know much about south Carolina other than myrtle beach. Some of us live in Georgia. What a rat hole. lol.
Have a Chowfastic Day!!

No its living here. Unbearable humidity and heat in the summer. Cochroaches that can eat your dog, ants ants and more ants. Horse flys that love to bite you every second you go outside, oh yeah and the racism gets on my nerves as well.
And Atlanta is a world away from the rest of Georgia. It is pretty normal there. And the crime rates down here are horrible. Especially when considering the size of most cities and towns. I liked when I came to visit years before I moved here, but living here is horrible. You can't go swimming in the water. At least not if you have any sense the water is all dirty looking and you never know whats in it. People wise the base and atlanta are the only redeeming qualities. It is how I keep my sanity. Now I am not saying everyone is bad, but more bad apples than good ones. But my main complain is the darn pests. Georgia needs one giant exterminator. And the ant hills large as can be and everywhere. Even all the ants bite. Also, if you come back stay away from the larger black and red fuzzy ants. They are acutally a flightless female wasp that's sting is so horrible you think you might rather cut off the appendage the sting is on then tolerate it. It is even called a cow killer. I don't think they have ever really killed a cow, but they can put a child in the hospital.

There you go let's all fly to England...hehe.
I lived in Georgia for almost a year now and I had it!!! It's like Angie said and more. You should see our news. The crime is unbelievable. I've never been so scared. First thing ppl told us when we moved here, is to be at home after dark. Atlanta sure has it's good sides. I absolutely love down town, but one time our tire busted at night in the middle of Atlanta and I felt like at the beginning of a Horror movie. I met some nice ppl here too, but most of them where from New York or Florida.
Don't even get me started on the Pest...I feel like I'm surrounded by scorpions and huge black and yellow spiders. Yuck!

Wow looks like florida is winning out so far. Hmm dog beaches. I forgot there is one redeeming quality to georgia. The amusement parks. There is a couple here that are loads of fun. And Stone mountain is good since you can bring your pup with you. Still all that confederate stuff is a little creepy at times.

If were tossing out ideas for the southeast, you know I'm going to say...Birmingham, AL.
We have Visionland theme park, and waterpark.
The Civil Rights Museum is an awesome place. Folks come from all over the world to visit there. We're currently building a park that is larger than Central Park in New York. B'Ham is an artsy-fartsy city, so there is a lot to do. We have dog parks, but I haven't been in a while.
How many people come would be coming? How much land do we need, geez I may be able to support a chow fest at my place??? I have 3 acres that is flat and cleared, the remaining 4 acres is wooded, steep, and rocky.
There are a couple of hotels close by too.

I dont remember if it was NC or SC, but I seen where in one of them Chows aren't allowed at rest areas. I don't even know if it's the entire state or just certain ones.
Oh in Daytona we stayed at a motel overlooking the ocean, dog friendly. The rooms set up with a bedroom, kitchen, livingroom and a balcony so you can sit out and enjoy the ocean view.

Jacksonville is lovely.
I know its not nc with a dog ban. There is a stop at a place called south of the border that even has a dog rest area. Complete with water pump and bowl, dog house and it is all fenced in with a short lil picket fence. Of course you have to watch out for the "nice dogs." Ivana was attacked by two lil chiwawa'a (sp?) and Ziyear got charged by a golden retriever and two lil fluffy dogs. Luckily the owner got ahold of them and then told me they are unfriendly and don't get along with other dogs...
and ppl talk about chows. Ivana may not love other girl dogs, but she does not charge or try to bite. Just walk past them like she is queen of the world.
