Derrell,

 i debate on the strawberry capital of the world --  The true STRAWBERRY
CAPITAL  OF THE WORLD  is Ponchatoula, LA  This goes back many years as my
grandmother, b. 1883, always went back there to make the best strawberry
preserves you every put in your mouth.

I know this is not the "proper" info on the site  but I just could not let
it go uncontested,
