Whistle Stop Cafe – Juliette Georgia Greeting Card

Description

Whistle Stop Cafe – Juliette Georgia 5×7 Greeting Card by Mark Tisdale.

This Juliette Georgia greeting card features the landmark Whistle Stop Cafe. The small town of Juliette in Monroe County, Georgia, got a new lease of life in the 1990’s thanks to the popularity of the movie, Fried Green Tomatoes. Although the book and movie is actually set in the fictional town of Whistle Stop, Alabama, Juliette was the filming location for the film. The building seen here has a central roll as the Whistle Stop Cafe.

Before Fried Green Tomatoes, Juliette, Georgia, was a largely forgotten town an hour south of Atlanta. Like many small towns, when the railroad was still king, Juliette had bustled with life. But that day had come and passed. Film producers felt it was a great fit for the film adaptation of the Fannie Flag book and restored the small town to life in more ways than one. Not only was it redesigned and renovated to fit its part in the film, it became a tourist destination for many because of its connection with the beloved movie which featured such remarkable actresses as Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates.

Decades later you can still stop in to Juliette and see the Whistle Stop Cafe much as it appeared in the film. The artwork on this card captures the feel of the quaint small town and the landmark Whistle Stop Cafe. Have you visited Juliette and had Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe? Or are you just a film of the movie? I’d love to know what attracted you to this Juliette Georgia greeting card?
