Yeah, there is the Dixie barbecue in Jonesboro (my choice - may it never close!) and the Southern barbecue in Anna. Don't know the Port Cape - but remember the area well. Downtown Cape by the river used to be the main shopping area when I was real young. Later they built a lot of stores on the west side of Cape near the interstate and the area down by the river went downhill for a while. Finally new restaurants and such went in. It always impressed me as a small child when we drove down Broadway heading right for that open gate when the river was kinda high. My kids liked that area whenever we went back cause they could walk right down to the river on that brick landing. In my youth, we used to go pick up pecans every year just west of Ware a little. There were some trees widely scattered out in the fields on those bottoms. I never knew who owned those places and we never asked permission - just carried our buckets and baskets over the fields and loaded up. I have the impression this was sort of a family tradition on my Mom's side of the family for a few generations. We stopped when my folks bought a place with their own pecan trees. I was never even in the Purple Crackle though it's been there "forever" just like VonDot. I remember there was another sleazy honkytonk east of the Purple Crackle a ways. I recall that this place burned down, though perhaps consumer demand produced a reincarnation. Small world ain't it?
