Write of Passage: A Southerner's View of Then and Now (Unabridged‪)‬

John Moore's collection of writings takes us back to a time when harvest gold and avocado green were all the rage and green stamps were as good as cash. He explores the wonders of yesterday, such as diners and drive-ins, fried baloney sandwiches, and picking up pop bottles for change.

John covers a lot of topics in this book, including love and marriage, God and country, the land, the people, and the folks that kept us free. He reflects on things we see every day but don’t have time to pay much mind to ‘cause we’re too busy and moving too fast.

You’ll recognize some of these stories. We’re all not that different, and you might have one similar to tell. Thousands of people look forward to John’s column each week, and here are some of his favorites, in case you missed a few.
