(60,010 posts)11. Those are Alabama's famous Azalea Trail Maids.
azaleas, the old kind that grow way above your head, being a big thing here, and the Trail Maids are trotted out to graciously greet important visitors to Mobile.
I personally am not fond of the garish colors, but, tis old tradition now.
Wasted on him, tho.
