August 2004: Atlanta, Georgia
Pat and I made this trip to Atlanta, Georgia so that I could have surgery with Dr. Ken Sinervo of the Center for Endometriosis Care. Though the nature of the trip was for that purpose, I didn’t see why we couldn’t try to have some fun while we were there. Even though Pat was determined not to have any fun, he did admit the first few days were fun, and would like to go back there sometime! This page concerns the trip unrelated specifically to the surgery. My story relating to my battle with endometriosis, including the surgery, is available at this link. Saturday, August 14, 2004 We left Saturday…

Fried Green Tomatoes Filming Locations
Juliette, Georgia During August of 2004 (and again in 2005), we visited Atlanta, Georgia. We also made a side trip to the tiny town of Juliette, about an hour south of Atlanta. Juliette was the location for Fried Green Tomatoes, serving as the fictional Whistle Stop, Alabama. We revisited Juliette in October 2023 as well. This shot is from the beginning of the movie, which took place in the 1990’s, when Evelyn (Kathy Bates) and her husband Ed are lost in Whistle Stop on the way to visit Ed’s aunt in a nursing home. Juliette, Georgia actually looked this way before the movie was made. The movie people cleaned up…

The Smithsonian Institution – Washington, D.C.
On our way back to Indiana from Connecticut, we decided to go by way of Washington, DC. I wanted to stop at the Smithsonian and see the “America on the Move” Exhibit which actually contained a portion of U.S. 66 pavement from Oklahoma. The traffic from Connecticut to Washington DC was horrendous, but once we got there, everything was fine and I even managed to get a parking spot not too far from the museum.

March 2004: New York, NY
We’re back visiting our family in Connecticut during Amber’s spring break, so I decided to take Amber and her friend Meaghan to New York City for two days. It was cold and dreary, but no precipitation the first day. We first had lunch at Junior’s in Brooklyn, where we had way too much food – but what we had was great. Of course, I washed it down with a chocolate egg cream (the real deal – made with Fox’s U-Bet syrup, thank you very much!). We barely had room for dessert, but not having a slice of cheesecake from Junior’s simply isn’t an option. I had a slice of Chocolate…
