Plains Remembered: Carter Town Embraces Quiet Normal Life
In Plains Georgia, former President Jimmy Carter and Rosalyn enjoy a calmer post presidency as centennial celebrations fade. Tourists have dwindled to about 300 daily, shops cling to relics like Billy Beer empties, and Billy Carter has moved on to selling mobile homes. The town hopes for a presidential museum at the old Plains High School, while residents recount a era of constant visitors and town unity.
