I hope you do get a chance. Juliette, Georgia is a cute little place and it's nice that after it was all cleaned up by the movie crew, that the town benefited from it. It's fairly touristy, every shop sells Fried Green Tomatoes everything. I bought t-shirts, magnets, a blanket, postcards, and probably more that I cannot recall. :) But the fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe are SO good.... Thank you Liz.

My husband and I try to find information that's readily available on the Internet first. If there isn't anything, we next go to the movie credits (or to IMBD) and generally find out what towns or cities movies where filmed. Next, we'll use Google Street view and satellite view or look for images from the town on Flickr or other photo sites. We'll watch parts of the movies over and over for details like geographical features, water, railroad tracks, buildings, businesses, street/highway signs, etc. Once we determine the location, I put them all as waypoints into my DeLorme map program, transfer them to the GPS, and we're ready to hit the road and start photographing! It's loads o' fun! Hi Matt, it all depends upon the movie and how obscure the locations are (or if the movie is more obscure and there’s no information).

I wish they had left the coffee shop alone too, but I guess for whatever reason, it didn't do well and had to close (I guess being featured in SNF did nothing for business!).

Really hoping to make it here myself one day. This movie touched my soul in so many ways and i often wish life was still like this. Thank you.

I rent it from the library every chance I get. It's a shame they tore down the disco. And I heard the White Castle was also torn down. The coffee shop should have been left alone, and Grand Union should have stayed there. Thank you for sharing the photos. I love this movie. I rent it from the library every chance I get.
