No, a Krystal is there now
DeleteNo, Krystal is next door. It's a carwash now. Go to street level view on google maps on a computer and search for other dates. You can see the old fireworks store in old pics.

ReplyDeleteThe intersection of GA highway 100, GA highway 53 and US 411 is in Cave Spring, Georgia. it is the intersection of Mill Street and Georgia highway 53.
ReplyDeleteThis is while they were riding in the car with the down pouring rain.
DeleteFor some strange reason, this movie goes out its way to obscure signs. I really have to slow down the DVD on the computer to find street signs and names.
ReplyDeleteThe "Unusual" restaurant is Orsolini.

The only thing left of it is the fireplace (still around in 2021):

The motel is just east of the restaurant on the same side of the street slightly across from the CITGO gas station
What is the name and location of the gross restaurant they stop to eat at where the old guy is sucking on his bbq ribs?
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I met Ed O’Neil at Grandma’s Cafeteria in Hampshire while they were filming. I worked there while I was on college break, and we had to close down. We were watching them film by the gas pump and Ed O’Neil saw us and came over to talk to us. We told what colleges we were going to, and his last words were, “too bad I didn’t bring Christina with, huh?” We all laughed and we remember him as a nice, regular guy.
ReplyDeleteI think Grandma’s was closed for two to three days. I remember coworkers talking about all the food they had brought in for the cast and crew to eat. I think it was during Christmas break 1990 that they filmed. You can see a Wendy’s at one point which is now a McDonalds. Also, when they are exiting I90 there at that intersection and right before they enter the Grandma’s truck stop, a bunch of nuns died in a car wreck there and now they have a traffic light.
