Sitting in the Emporium Cafe listening to a local blues band the buzz of optimistic conversation is filling the Cafe.
WE are all gathered to celebrate the unleashing of the 25th Transition Town in USA. Hohenwald is unique, being one of the only transition towns that does not have a progressive legend cloaking the community, and is also unique being the only transition town in the South East USA. To top of the list of interesting facts, Hohenwald is, quite possibly, the only Transition Town town with City, County and State proclamations embracing the Transition Movement.
Interesting fact for a rural southern town with a deep christian heart and conservative roots.
Perhaps a telling sign that green is now becoming a part of North American Culture.
And not green as in greenwashed, green as in grassroots community organized, natural build permaculture, connecting with conventional, practical conservative pragmatism to create an interesting synergy between local government and community activists.
Hohenwald in Transition! Grass Roots Southern Green.
