Doc Holliday.
He was born and lived for some time in Griffin, Georgia...a town about 30 minutes SW of where I am. Wife and I have lately gone to Griffin to get a very nice custom made holster for my 1911. There is a Doc Holliday Saloon in Griffin that appears to be defunct. The house where Doc was born is touted as a museum, but that claim is in someone’s dreams about Val Kilmer. House is somewhat run down and definitely not open..
I grew up a little North of you, Fairburn. Haven’t been back in a few years. I hate that it’s run down. They had his dentist chair so they say was his.

How wonderful it is that you have that particular historical figure’s footprint in your surroundings! We do live in an amazing country. I think it is so important that we learn some of the local history where we live. It all matters. I imagine that if we ever had a non-Q thread where everyone cited at least one interesting historical fact from their locale, we would have quite a fun history/geography lesson! I love hearing stuff like that! Thanks!
