I love this area of my home town
where I’ve lived for 40 years
ADD Drug Store still has a lunch counter.
That's my son, Troy, ordering a
BLT and grilled cheese
They have old menu signs
The lunch ladies can make you a milkshake
and there's even a P.O. in the back
that sells stamps and mails packages.
Across the street is The Homeplace
where I can buy unusual gifts.
Here's The Local Jam,
where I came for breakfast,
and brought my journal and pencils
The table in the booth is covered in brown paper
Great peach preserves!
I sketched a leaf I found on the sidewalk.
A real turntable behind the counter.
Local Jam - Get it!
When I chose U of Ga. for college in 1954
people said,
"Oh, you're going to a Party School!"
They were right!
So what if it was a "dry county" back then.
Now, it's an updated party school!
An interesting new place
5 Points Growlers
for college kids to walk up and
get an assortment of beer in gallons.
Earth Fare is here, too, where I
shop for organic Food.
I didn’t take any more photos.
But came back home
back to my cat Zsa,Zsa, who said,
"Why don't you ever take my photo?"
So I did.
Ah, back to this room of my own
with a garden view
where I write.
