A more broader street view of Vine street, one of the three largest streets known to host Cahaba's annual military parades.
Behind that line of trees in the distance is where the Levee stretches all alongside the Vine street roadway and sidewalk, that Levee is what protects the ferret city of Cahaba from flooding disasters, many old buildings in Cahaba even once gotten the High-grading treatment, where the buildings were elevated 3 feet or higher using wood planks, bricks, or CMUs to support the whole structure above rising flood waters.
The line of Ferret Confederate Soldiers dressed in gray battle uniforms aren't reenactors, but rather Cahaba's local police forces. Their job is to constantly monitor what local ferrets do and say, and dictate every aspect of their lives. They are the type of authority who can legally break into your house and arrest you if you were to do anything that remotely deviates from Traditional Southern standards.
North Vine Street, Cahaba, Alabama, 1976.
