Test for the Southerners

[smellysell]

I was driving the other day with my son and he said, "I wonder if someone from like Georgia would know what those are?"

So that's the question, do any of you lifelong southerners know what this is without cheating?

Just day "yes" of you do, I'm actually kind of curious because I remember vividly when I first saw one, as they don't have them in Eastern Montana really.

 

[ChuckJr]

Yes, from Texas but the part of Texas that uses similar things.

 

[Pugman1943]

Yes,try me. We have them in NW Texas.

 

[smellysell]

I would not have guessed they had them anywhere in Texas, interesting!

You aren't a Southerner, way to ruin it!

They have them in Ohio?

 

[SKYDIVNEKD]

Kentucky is kinda neutral, but I’ll chime in with a yes, I believe I do.

[jfields]

We only see those around flightlines here. Not just out in the open along a road.

 

[TexasTraveler]

YES

 

[cabaiguan juan]

Yes. But is from my time in Colorado, not Virginia. Those aren’t necessarily in Virginia. At all. Even at a ski hill.

 

[Scap]

I don't know what those are.
Seen similar items by the airport, but not sure if same.

 

[Pugman1943]

Nothing to do with aircraft dudes.

 

[Pugman1943]

They have these up in Amarillo because they are needed there ( not to ward off armadillos ).

 

[bfreebern]

Hell no, but I’m not from Georgia. I’ve been to Atlanta though

What are they?

 

[Nate1977]

Have no idea what those are , but curious what they are. Guessing something to do wirh cattle

 

[mjolnir01]

I don't miss them or what comes with them. At all.

 

[kann]

Yes.

They do look like jet blast revetments, though!

*EDIT* I want to make a Trump joke here so bad, but I'll refrain.

*EDIT EDIT* I reported myself, anyway.

 

[Scap]

Is it an old drive in theater screen?

 

[PaulTra]

yes

 

[JHolmes763]

Only seen them in CO.
