4 Way Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cartersville, Georgia<\/p>\n

Located in Cartersville, Georgia, at the corner of East Main Street (Hwy 41) and Gilmer Street, the\u00a0 “4-Way”, as the locals called it, has been there since 1931. I painted the painting in about 1984, when I was exhibiting in art shows in the area.\u00a0 It was one of my most popular paintings of the time.<\/p>\n

The 4-Way was small, but it had front doors and a side door.\u00a0 As you entered through the front doors, you noticed there were no tables, just 8 stools across the front of the counter. They may have had 2 or 3 at the end of the counter, but they were always\u00a0 full. As soon as you finished eating, they asked you to get up, pay and go on about your day. Their menu was simple with hot dogs, hamburgers and fried chicken.\u00a0 Their gravy burgers, you had to eat with a fork.\u00a0 I enjoyed watching them make the chili dogs,\u00a0 The cook lined up all the hot dogs up and down his arm and look a ladle and filled them with the chili. The health department would not allow such a thing in todays world!<\/p>\n

The 4-way was not a place for a leisure lunch with friends and conversation.\u00a0 When you finished eating, you had to leave, to let the next person come in and have a place to sit.\u00a0 It was quite an experience.<\/p>\n

It is located just off I-75 about 40 miles north of Atlanta.\u00a0 It’s well worth the experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n
