Mr Toast's USA Tour - South Carolina

Mr Toast arrives in Allendale, SC, which is hours away from the major cities. No cable, DSL Internet, food delivery, ATMs, taxis, busses, newspaper delivery or even shopping! But every summer there are luscious peaches, juicy watermelon and cantaloupe. Marjorie is Mr Toast's host.

Back in the day, Allendale was a rocking little town. There's not much left of the boom years now but just a few of the grand old storefronts and all those little motor courts that were so popular in the past.

Spooky, where did all the peaches go?
