Whistle Stop Depot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juliette, GA<\/p>\n

from the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes”<\/p>\n

While traveling and exhibiting in Art shows and festivals, I had done several shows in and around Atlanta, Georgia.\u00a0 When the movie came out “Fried Green Tomatoes, we found that the movie was filmed in Georgia and that you could actually eat at the Whistle Stop Cafe’. One weekend, we decided to visit the restaurant and cafe.<\/p>\n

When we arrived, we found the quaint little one street town called Juliette.\u00a0 It is located 8 miles east of Forsyth, GA.\u00a0 If you cross the RR tracks, you just missed the town as it was a street just before the tracks on the right. As I remember, the cafe had already closed for the day, but we walked around and took pictures of the town.<\/p>\n

I painted a set of 4 paintings from the town, one of them being the Whistle Stop Depot. They had\u00a0purchased the depot for one dollar, as it had been sitting in a field for many years. It now sits on the main street of town because of regulations as to sitting along-side the tracks.<\/p>\n
