PORK


Near Crooked River Georgia


This is just one of the many great photo opportunities that I came upon and passed before I knew it.
And,
this is just one of the very few great photo opportunities that I was able to turn around and go back. 

It was in the middle of the country, nothing else around, which I would say wasn't the reason for its demise.  In many of the towns themselves that we went through there were a lot of businesses closed and shuttered up.  Such are these times.
My, can't you just imagine the smells that used to come from this building?

Note the piggy sign up top.  Sadly I didn't notice it while I was there or would have photographed it.

Ragged but right! Nowadays I suppose everyone goes to MacDonalds.

Looks like there is a time for everything. Closed while open. Nice one John.

Cute piggy. I'll bet that BBQ was delicious when it was still being served.

Funny building so hidden in the middle of nowhere and still has the "Open" sign

Great shot - I do like the simple word "pork" image.
