Travel Day to Savannah, Via Juliette, GA

We left Atlanta, GA and went to Jonesboro, GA.   Lots of Civil war history as General Sherman started his infamous “march to the sea” We are standing by the train station.  General Sherman was cutting off all supplies to the Confederate Army.  A very important battle was Jonesboro.  The soldiers of the Union army would heat up the R. R. tracks and take the hot tracks and wrap them around a tree.  This was know as “Sherman’s bow tie”  the tracks could not be used, they were completely destroyed.  Margaret Michelle lived in Jonesboro and a young girl, and many of her experiences growing up she included in her novel “Gone with the Wind”  We worked up a vacation appetite so we traveled to Juliette, GA to the “Whistle Stop Cafe “ for fried green tomatoes.  This cafe was made famous by the movie Fried Green Tomatoes”back in the car we noticed a vacant textile warehouse. The textile industry left the area    The whole town of Juliette, GA was like a ghost town with a few residents still there.On down the road we saw in the distance a working nuclear plant

  We made it to Savannah, GA just in time to have dinner at Paula Deen’s restaurant “Lady and Sons”  Y’ALL

Savannah’s market place at the end of the day.
