Tobacco Road DOES Exist!!!
Go to Augusta, Georgia and ask around. You'll find it!!
It still exists, though living conditions aren't quite what the book/movie represent.

The movie is a complete farce. These hillbillies might have existed in the Ozark mountains or West Virginia but the families that owned the fine homes in the south did not get those fine homes being trashy illiterates like these gems. If someone suddenly took away everything you own right now would you turn into morons because of it? Don't think so. The movie did paint the south in such a way that it was typecast badly for 75 years or more. There were some trashy people in the south then just like there are now.... but that is true of any local, not just the south.
