SOUTH OF THE BORDER was intended to be a second Disney~World* In 2001 visionare Alan Schaefer passed away & threats to tear down a relic from yesteryear is at constant bay* South of the Border in its hay day had become self contained, having its own fire department & police station* One could even buy a car at BORDER automotive* Schaefer went into secrecy & kept unknown apartments in back his shops and diners, and began building interconnected houses just outside Dillon South Scarolina where Border is located* Dillon is just "South of the Border" to North Carolina* Many think there should be only one Carolina and it should be its capital* Video document features many stores, such as an "African Store", as South of the Border has a world theme, yet its central theme is Western Mexico* Document also features sights from an elevator ride up to a giant sombrero, which is what one first sees from an interstate, similar to how one sees a Mickey Mouse water tower on their way to Disney~World* Yet roughly 40 miles prior, there are phenomenal bill boards to hype one up roughly every half mile which have everything one could fit on a bill board, even an old beat up car which is frequently hit up by local graffiti artests* Soundtrack features much early 80's world olympics peace inspiring sounds which one may sense in South of the Border's forgotten age invoking powers, but it also features a local Scarolina group LARb, from their LARb/FLUME 12 inch split* LARb was a group which featured moog/theramin/sax/& samplers and played in Columbia Scarolina from early 90's til just after millenium* Song is taken from a telephone recording where a man was trying to convince sax player he had "control over his mental state" Often people who can no longer "take it", meaning Scarolina government's backwards ways due to its confederacy pride have to leave to a great fantasy just upstate so they can regain control over their mental state* A place where you can buy an American flag where an eagle is shattering through it like glass* A flag you wash after it touches ground* For all whom go on tour up and down eastern coasts, it is imperative to take I~95, becuase "you never sausage a place!"
I passed on i-95 on the way to florida a week ago, this place looked depressing and like a ghost town.

We passed through this once on the way to Daytona Beach, Florida. We had to take a break and my sister got pictures of all the sights.

...wait! There's something missing. I know it's a black velvet painting of John, Paul, George and Ringo wearing sombreros.

I know this place well because I would drive past it from Charleston to NY for three years every several weeks.
