  • so you're not going to believe this, but...

    so i'm moving to social circle. finally one of my neighbors asked me what that big thing was under the car cover.

    so when i told him it was a hearse, and then he was like "well this is gonna blow your mind - there was an old guy just up the street from here who made shine and used his hearse to run it. he died not too long ago and the blue willow inn bought his house."

    moon shiners! and i wondered why i had a shed in the back yard full of old mason jars!!!

    any of you walton county natives hear about this? i wonder what happened to the guy's coach.

      Lots of shiners used hearses. bu most would just use Caddy ambulance motors in Ford sedans.

      They used a hearse to run shine in the Outkast movie Idlewild.

        So, Ryan, are you gonna keep the tradition alive?

          who knows how to build a still?

              put what ever fruit is available at the time your hooch gets ready, let it sit and then just eat the fruit. the ladies love strawberrys, makes it taste like wine. pineapples are good also, but it's a little sweet.
              my folks made some of the best in north ga. irish background in the north ga/north carolina's mtn. no soil to grow crops had ta make a living somehow. until copper head rd came along !!!
