Richmond County - "It's a place where the morning coffee comes with a view of eagles and osprey and where tonight's seafood special is whatever takes your bait. It's a place where history lives in the bricks and mortar and where traditions are more important than trends. It's a place where rush hour is a hay baler crossing the highway, where passing motorists smile and wave, a place where you're always welcome. It's Richmond County. For the weekend or forever."
