A documentary about how a town has
turned from dust. A sole street in a
rural neighborhood 20 miles North of
Macon gets a permanent Hollywood
makeover. From the success of the movie
that was filmed in Juliette, GA, Fried
Green Tomatoes turned a kudzu-swallowed
ghost town into the new tourist delight
of the South. A population of 4 in 1991,
this tiny Mecca now boasts a weekly
visitation of 500 people coming to see
The Whistle Stop Cafe and to taste the
movie itself - Fired Green Tomatoes.
