We've changed our Twitter handle! @CarolinianCan is now @carolinianzone. Our old handle definitely caused confusion (don't you really want to just type @caroliniancanada?), so we decided to switch it up and pick something new that still represents us to the core. We are all about Canada's Deep South, and now our twitter handle is in the zone! If you already follow us on Twitter, you don't have to do anything, and you can still search for us by our full name. If you would like to send us a tweet, just enter @carolinianzone in your Twitter app and we'll see your message.
