Remember the
Georgian Oaks Motel? It was just down
about a block north of Fisherman's Grill and a hop, skip, and a jump southwards
from Fisherman's was a restaurant I
forgot the name of it but it was considered an alternative hangout, like
Varners. It was more directly in front
of main gate at Dobbins Air Force Base.
But getting
back to The Georgian Oaks Motel (and/or Lodge):
I have a facebook friend Richard that comes and goes. Sometimes he is gone over a year. He is a cook by trade. Every once in a while he will come up with a
surprised bombshell. Once he told me
either a girlfriend or waitress friend burned up the Georgian Oaks and she went
to prison for it.
Since he
told me that every time I think of The Georgian Oaks I think of that.
Also I think
of a kid whose parents ran the Georgian Oaks then. He helped his father with different kinds of
vending machines. He metamorphosed himself
to be a great vending machine repair person and collector of antique machines.
He is Bob
Halliday of Bob's Garage that is on JVL Industrial Drive off Shallowford Road.
Refurbishes cars, trucks, juke
boxes and many more things. He has a
national and probably international reputation.
