"But, don’t scoff, gentle reader. The self-styled “cradle of the Confederacy” had a Guinness-verified world record holder in its very midst. Until 2007, when it was overtaken by a company in Denton (TX), the Jenkins Brick Company laid stake to the claim of having the World’s Largest Brick," the Roll Bama Roll says.


"Until 2007, just past the intersection of Atlanta Highway and I-85, you could see the Jenkins Brick Co. and its ubiquitous Big Ass Brick. Sadly, just like those fabled meisterwerks in Shelley’s Ozymandias, they are no more — neither the world record, nor the very name “Jenkins” — it is now the Acme Brick Company — though, the Big Ass Brick remains.


"And, Lo! the Brick isn’t taking its demotion lying down. Just as the mighty Phoenix arises from its the ashes, spiraling to new heights from its own pyre, so too has the Brick regained its notoriety. The Brick is now the world’s largest brick...made out of bricks."
