Y'ALL Adds Regional Flavor to the Internet

    If you're looking for a little Southern flavor in cyberspace, then you'll want to check out Y'ALL, an Atlanta-based webmagazine focusing on Southern culture and entertainment.

    Updated daily, Y'ALL blends text, audio, and video to create an entertaining mix of articles, games, and interactive applications such as chat and message boards. The content ranges from traditional culture to subculture and everything in between.

    The magazine is divided into five sections: Decibel (music), The South (culture, tradition, and cooking), The Arts (events and features), Yonder (travel), and The Porch (games, jokes, and communication). Each section is propped up by excellent articles written by talented writers and by visually pleasing graphics, photos, sound, and video.

    Y'allRecent articles have focused on novelists Ellen Gilchrist and Larry Brown, Athens, Georgia, artist Joni Mabe, and rockers 3 lb. Thrill and the Klezmer Allstars. Y'ALL has also run stories on Jews in the South, the legacy of Hank Williams, and Fred's Lounge in Mamou, Louisiana. There's even a semi-weekly column about the funkier side of the South, written by John T. Edge, a graduate student at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture. William Thomas, another graduate student at the Center, is also involved with the magazine.

    Y'ALL also dabbles in the sublime with loads of entertaining features that will keep you amused for hours. Clicking around, you'll discover articles about Krispy Kreme doughnuts, barbecue, and grits; electronic postcards; an elaborate forum for Elvis sightings; Jeff Foxworthy's "Redneck O'matic"; games like the Cowchip County Bottle Challenge; plus more, more, more. For details, contact Y'ALL by e-mail; by telephone (404-614-2662); or through the United States Postal Service (Cox Interactive Media, 72 Marietta Street, Atlanta, GA 30303).
