Definitely all the little touches that captured the Mississippi Delta so well from the frying fish to the tamales sign in town to the Chinese owned grocery and MUDDY WATERS

Yeah, I learned the broad strokes of southern history in school, of course, but even knowing — and having progressive teachers stressing — that it was Eurocentric, I still didn’t appreciate how prevalent non-white and non-Christian groups were throughout the southeast.
And even though I literally am descended from Irish immigrants in Georgia, I still always just thought of Irish immigration as being entirely in the northeast and Chicago! (And Chinese entirely on the west coast, and Mexicans/Central Americans in the southwest).
