You can pick out the Guyton water tower from a good ways off, and beneath it sit the streets where the strip of grass between mailbox and porch says a great deal about a house. Southern Pride Lawn Care Inc takes that strip personally: mowing, trimming, edging along the curb and the walk, clippings blown back off the concrete before the truck leaves. One tidy yard lifts a block, and a few of them lift a whole street. That is a plain fact about small towns, and it holds up in Effingham County as well as anywhere else. The pride is in the name, and it shows up in the corners, where the shortcuts would otherwise be.
