Juliette, Georgia, is a super cute, super small town. It is best known for the Whistle Stop Cafe where they filmed scenes from Fried Green Tomatoes. The
town is on the bank of the Ocmulgee River.
Head north toward Flovilla and you can visit Indian Springs, which indeed does have a nice spring. People were filling water jugs believing the water was better than tap water. Hmm, there may be some truth to that as the movie will show.
While you are touring that area, head east and you can see Sac-O-Suds, which was the crime scene in the movie My Cousin Vinny.
A mile or so north is a very dramatic Lloyd Shoals Dam, best viewed from the fishing pier. OK, so it was not in a movie, but it is really neat.
I enjoyed my little tour of this scenic rural area. Back on topic, head south to Juliette. There is Lake Juliette, nice for fishing, boating, camping, and cooling a massive power plant. Georgia Power Plant Scherer is the largest coal fired power plant in the U.S. and the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the country. I have not seen the movie, Saving Juliette, however a huge coal powered power plant is environmentally nasty.
Saving Juliette is a local public television program presented by GPB.
