GAINESVILLE, Ga. — I wish I could open this letter by sharing some heartfelt moments from my childhood, where I first heard Gainesville called the “Poultry Capital of the World.” But I can’t. Instead, it’s been a constant fact in my life that my second hometown’s claim to fame is chickens. I call Gainesville my second hometown because I didn’t grow up here, but my parents are from here and our roots run deep.
Just to give you an idea HOW deep our roots are: one of my grandads worked in various accounting jobs for different poultry. . .
