Christy Plott Invented Being Both Five-Star and Dive Bar

/

Christy Plott Redd is a Southern girl. She is the creative director, head of global sales, and co-owner of American Tanning and Leather. I’ll let her tell you what that’s all about below. Let’s just say she’s a red-headed spitfire who knows her way around a gator farm in Louisiana, as well as the corporate offices of Oscar de La Renta, Ralph Lauren and other hoity-toity fashion designers who buy up her alligator skins like hot cakes. She is as Two-Sided Southern as they come and one of the funniest, most charming people I know. Read below and you’ll soon agree.

Guilty. I’m a Southern Architecture Lover

/

I know I’m Two-Sided Southern when I’m in my hometown of Atlanta, and the small turn-of-the-century bungalows of Decatur and Candler Park delight me as much as the ornate Victorians of Inman Park. The Greek revival homes with their stately white columns across Middle Georgia are as pretty to me as the smaller tudors with their sloping roofs that have been left untouched around my neighborhood of Lake Claire and Druid Hills.

Why Old Edwards Inn is as Two-Sided Southern as They Come

/

I would argue that it’s this juxtaposition of country charm coupled with exquisite lodgings, white glove service and gourmet culinary offerings (Madison’s is a must-try), that is a significant reason Old Edwards Inn (OEI) has been so successful. It’s also the kind of place I personally love—where you can have the most opulent of experiences and yet no one is uppity, everyone is friendly and the millionaire standing next to you may be wearing flip flops or hiking boots.
