Mathews: Fancier Than You Think

When I was a kid, the town of Mathews always seemed like some distant place.  One that I rarely went to.  In fact, it was usually only mentioned in phrases like, "I'm going over Mathews way to get some crab bait."  Yes, that's right, it was equated in my mind with dead smelly fish.

Imagine my surprise when I make it over to Mathews as an adult and find it's actually quite fancy.

Seriously, how many Dollar General stores have you seen with a giant Heron fountain in front of it?
