http://chornbe.com/motorcycles/rides/devilsroad/devilroad_0008.jpgTeenagers get bored and take drives around the backroads where there is beautiful scenery. One road is nicknamed devils road and there is said to be KKK meetings held there. It is very distint because the trees bend away from the road and there is one tree thats roots are shaped like a skull where a dead baby was said to be found. It is also said that if you are on this road, black SUVs will chase you off of it..yes, it has happened to me before.8Music SceneRight in Pike creek there is a very tiny music venue called the Harmony GrangeLocal bands usually occupy it but there have been a lot of big concerts held there.
