GWTW Viewing Recap
Thanks to Turner Classic Movies for airing "Gone with the Wind" last night and to all of our readers who live Facebooked and tweeted with us during the four-hour movie! We had a good 'ole time chatting about birthin' babies, dresses made out of curtains and why Scarlett ever liked Ashley in the first place, when Rhett is so dashingly handsome. We even threw out a couple trivia questions for those die-hard Southern fans, making it not only an entertaining event, but an educational one.

The book was published three years before by Margaret Mitchell, who wrote it from her apartment on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Today, the Margaret Mitchell House is operated by the Atlanta History Center and open for guided tours daily. It also includes a museum, where visitors can see the front door of Tara from the movie set and the famous painting of Scarlett in her blue dress. According to Wikipedia, Mitchell wanted
