I also heard tell that Cobb was called "The Georgia Peach" not for his birthplace or residence but for his affinity pre-pubescent boys.
Dear unhetero,
Thanks for your comment! Of course we here at Very Little Known Facts do not traffic in hearsay or speculation, scuttlebutt or character assassination. However, I believe I can clear up one point: the "Georgia Peach" is actually a major tourist attraction in Gaffney, SC. Thanks again for your comment!
If visiting Georgia, don't forget the Cobb Galleria! It is the finest collection of corncobs and corncob paraphernalia in the world. Try their Cobb salad!
