Jackson Drink Stand

LaGrange, Georgia

I exhibited at several art festivals in LaGrange, Georgia in the mid 1980’s.  After every show, I drove around and take pictures of interesting places in the area, so I could paint one or more for the next years showing.  LaGrange, was no exception. 

As I was driving around town, I had reached an area that was about to change from the nostalgic look to the normal look of the town, so I pulled into a parking lot to turn around, when I saw this old house, with a couch on the front porch.  I guess that was their version of a porch swing, without the swing.  I took a few pictures of it, then as I turned around, there it was, “Jackson Drink Stand”.  Was this alley, the road at one time?  I don’t know, but it was a store, that had once been used, but has since closed.  You never know what you find in out of the way places.
