Friday afternoon, Master Carpenter and I decided to revisit one of our favorite places, Senoia.
The town fascinates us .......just three years ago it consisted of rotting old buildings! Today, Main Street is a thriving street with fun, shops and restaurants. With new camera, in hand, Master Carpenter shot these images .....
In addition to the rebuilding of Main Street, the town has a history of being one of Hollywood's favorite places to shoot movies, Fried Green Tomatoes, Driving Miss Daisy, Sweet Home Alabama, Broken Bridges and about 15 more..plus the Drop Dead Diva show.
RECOGNIZE THESE FROM "FRIED GREEN TOMATOES"?
"DROP DEAD DIVA" USES THIS HOME FOR INTERIOR SHOTS
STUDIO PUTS FAMILY UP IN NEIGHBORING TOWN,
TEARS DOWN WALLS, COVERS WINDOWS.
HOLLYWOOD TRAVELS 3000 MILES TO DO INTERIOR SHOTS HERE.
WHY???
THIS CHURCH IS USED FOR MANY FILMS.
While finding these "famous", fun locations we happened upon some gorgeous homes.

NOTHING will change our Bucket List House....... and it is coming along fast and furious.
Today they put up the drywall. We have real walls and rooms!!! It was too muddy from afternoon showers to walk through, but will tomorrow. Will share pictures soon....
Wow that is very interesting!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty area. The houses shout SOUTHERN!
ReplyDeleteI do agree....and The Bucket List House is a smaller version of the last one that is for sale. We met a shop owner who would love to buy it and use it as an Event Property!! It would also make a great B & B
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it would! And all the famous actors could stay there and have parties!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous buildings!!!
