The bookmobile used to come to our house when I was a kid. This could have been me!

Doorway in Royston. This is actually the back of some storefronts along Main St. The color caught my eye. #roystonga #smalltowngeorgia #archeddoorway

Their Facebook page says that they have been a Hartwell breakfast spot for over 20 years, but it seems like they’ve only been at this location for a few years. And I’m still sad I missed out on a biscuit.#hartwellga #smalltowngeorgia #biscuits #georgiarestaurant

The congregation moved into a new building in 1996. The Historic Woolsey Foundation is in the midst of restoring the old church.#woolseyga #georgiachurch #smalltowngeorgia

The (very busy) Piggly Wiggly just off the square in Buchanan. You know it’s the little things when an active Piggly Wiggly makes you smile. And it’s located right in the center of town. #pigglywiggly #buchananga #smalltowngeorgia

New Testament Church of God. With the courthouse clock tower keeping watch. Downtown Buchanan. #buchananga #georgiachurch #smalltowngeorgia #haralsoncountyga

The Wellington Lodge in Bostwick. Famous for their Brunswick Stew. #bostwickga #smalltowngeorgia #masoniclodge

A circa 1880 store on the square in Hamilton. In the past it has been decorated with a seasonal wreath. But not this time. Unadorned. #hamiltonga #oldstore #smalltowngeorgia

Love this bit of Moderne style in downtown West Point. Circa 1940. It currently is part of the Batson-Cook Company, a building/construction company started in West Point in 1915. #westpointga #smalltowngeorgia

The Kimbrough Masonic Lodge Number 118 in Cataula. #cataulaga #masoniclodge #smalltowngeorgia

Someone has done an excellent job incorporating this old telephone house into their garden. Right off the square in Hamilton. #hamiltonga #smalltowngeorgia #telephonehouse

Dromedary Street in Woodbury. This is one of my favorite buildings in Woodbury, and I’ve shared it a few times before. It’s usually covered in vines. It looks clean-shaven now. #woodburyga #smalltowngeorgia #abandonedgeorgia

Tommy Chambliss Hardware in Cataula. The hardware store is shut down, but Mr. Chambliss still runs a construction company that specializes in septic tank installation, a pretty important service to have in rural communities. #cataulaga #ruralgeorgia #smalltowngeorgia #hardwarestore

Leatherwood Cabinets in Cataula. They are open for business. #smalltowngeorgia #cataulaga #cabinetmakers #signsofthesouth

Granny’s in Cataula, Georgia. Permanently closed. First time visiting Cataula. Lots of stuff is closed, but the Dollar General was open, the Old Faithful of bargain retail establishments. #cataulaga #signsofthesouth #smalltowngeorgia

Tar Paper along the Athens Highway in Arcade. #tarpaperhouse #arcadega #smalltowngeorgia

An old store in the little town of Arcade. I haven’t tracked down the name of it, but I have learned that it sold the coldest beer in town. It was a popular stop for people on the way to Athens for UGA games. The beer was legendary. #arcadega #smalltowngeorgia #oldstore #abandonedgeorgia

Wright’s Store & Post Office in Mountville. Operated by Mr. James Render Wright (1941-2015). Mr. Wright’s obituary notes that he was an “avid HAM radio operator and was a Mason and Shriner.” #mountvillega #smalltowngeorgia #oldstore #abandonedgeorgia

Dot’s Country Kitchen in Smithville. Specialties: collard greens, butter beans, and fried red mullet fish. #smithvillega #signsofthesouth #georgiarestaurant #smalltowngeorgia
