This giant nut was a HUGE must-see for me, so when I finally had a chance to road trip to South Georgia, I jumped on it. Little did I know that the night before, my super luxurious glasses of pink champagne would put a damper on the next-day early morning drive. But the time with a dear friend and the beautifully crowned peanut monument made the tortured drive worth it. So I sucked it up to pose in front if it, then promptly turned and tossed my salad. Now that's a memory.
Erected in February, 1975, this peanut was designed by A.R. Smith, Jr., and was dedicated to the memory of Nora Lawrence Smith, member of the Georgia Journalism Hall of Fame and co-publisher of the Wiregrass Farmer.
