Why the Smiling Peanut Still Matters

The funny thing is, the Smiling Peanut wasn’t supposed to become famous. It wasn’t dreamed up by an artist trying to create the next big landmark.

Travel Reminiscence Day 28 #PlainsGeorgia OK, here is some presidential pop culture for those who remember.

Plains, Georgia is a “Mayberry” kinda town where sweet small town dreams became reality.... Jimmy Carter’s Sunday School lesson was all about that you are never too small to make a difference. He and Rosalynn are living saints. #lynncrowphotography #plainsgeorgia #campaignheadquarters #hero #jimmycarter
