    Fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe. Amazing read by Fannie Flagg. 👏🏼

      @@HappinessTravelz The book is pretty awesome, though you get a feeling that she (the author) does not always have a complete grasp of the time lines. This gets a lot worse with the second book The Wonderboy of Whistlestop - the dates do not match up anymore in some cases. Which somewhat kills a good story, unfortunately.

    My dad roofed the “Threadgoode” house in Senoia! Also, the scene where Kathy Bates says, “face it girls, I’m older and have more insurance” was filmed is in my hometown of Fayetteville. I used to work at that Winn-Dixie.

    My Mama grew up in the mill village there and I played many a day with my cousins at Granny and Grandaddy's house in the curve. There's nothing like hearing a screen door slam and sitting on the front porch drinking sweet tea and hearing the train whistle blowing in the distance on it's way thru town. You should have taken a trip thru the village across the river. Some of my family still live there and many are buried in the cemetary on the hill. When I come home to visit and stop to hear the wind thru the trees, I can still hear our laughter of playing outside. We never even wondered if there was anywhere else to live, because we felt it was always home. Thank you for the video. Safe travels to you and your family.

    Both sets of my grandparents lived in Juliette so we were there many many times over the years. Mom and Dad met there
    and eventually married. Dad's dad was the telegraph operator at the station before he retired. Mom's Dad was the meat cutter in the store (the restaurant) and at the cotton mill across the river. Mom also worked there while she was pregnant with me.

    I absolutely had to make my way too Juliette Georgia about twelve years ago due to my long love for this movie.
    However i did not walk around and explore as much as i would have liked, because i could not tolerate the heat. To be honest i don't understand how people live in that heat. But of course people would come to my Canadian town and wonder how I tolerate the cold.
    Anyway...thanks for the video. Fried Green Tomatoes was/is such a special movie.

I think my Aunt had bought the movie on VHS and let me borrow it or we watched it together. It just was written so well. I didn’t realize all the buildings were mostly there still altogether close by. I also love trains and it is right next to train tracks. It looks like they moved the tracks a little.

    I watched FGT many many years ago,probably when it came out.. At the library the other day I saw Fannie Flagg and FGT.. Never knew she was the writer,loved her on tv,wo I picked it up,and took my time reading... I felt like I had stepped back in time as everything in it was pretty close to my own childhood in the deepest part of south Alabama close to the Florida line... This book had me tearing up at Buddies death,laughing out loud at Idgies doings,and crying again when each character passed on... I didn't want it to end,and wished that someone had written a sequel to the earlier years with morw doings and going ons with everyone from FGT... I believe that had Hollyweird stuck closer to the book it'd have been a much better movie,not saying it wasnt a great movie,but maybe just a little bit better.. Thank you Ms Flagg ❤❤ and thank this guy for putting these images with the story I just completed earlier today,Sat,Jan 6th,24..

    It wasn't Idgie who thought her house had been stolen. It was her sister in law. In the movie she explains how she married into the family.

      @@HappinessTravelzWell in the movie it’s heavily implied that Ninny and Idgie are the same person. In the book it’s obvious they’re different people.

      They had to have been the same person....or else, .....how would she be able to call every little detail in the movie!!! This was the obvious,.. give-a-way!! Evelyn was drawn into her story, because Iggy took on a "fake" persona in order to tell the story. But even Evelyn figured it out by the end of the movie. And why would the jar of honey on Ruth's grave be signed "the bee charmer" if not by Iggy??!!

    Now I'm going to have to go watch the movie again for like the upteenth time! haha It is my favorite movie of all time. I've been to Senoia and did the Walking Dead tour but never made it to Juliette. (Will have to go!) Years ago, I visited the original cafe that Fanny Flag based the cafe on in the book, in Irondale, AL outside of Birmingham. Still have my Fried Green Tomatoes Cookbook I got from there. Great video! So neat that you got to talk to the owners!!

    It's a cute place to visit. We live about an hour and a half from Juliette. I bought a vintage teddy bear at one of the antique shops there. We live about 10 minutes from Senoia, where other scenes were filmed. Really cute place to shop if you haven't been there yet. You can still see the sets from The Walking Dead.

    Oh, this is fantastic! I love this film, as many others do..but I'm a 61yr old Southern Boy, and shouldn't like 'chick flicks' (I actually hate the term) at all. I think the reason I love the movie so much is that I grew up in the rural South, and I can place the name of a real person upon almost every character in it. I know that Georgia is a huge favorite of production companies these days (my career was TV), I just didn't realize production here had started that long ago!. Geez, I live in Atlanta now, I should go visit these places.
    EDIT: And yes, I love fried green tomatoes. I still have my mom's recipe.

    Just discovered your channel, so you may have already filmed here, but if not y'all should come to Natchitoches Louisiana, & show all the spots where the movie Steel Magnolias was filmed . It was actually based on a true story about a family from this town.
