crossing the ga/al state lines pt. 1

Yesterday, Jinah and I took a mini road trip to finally check out the Unclaimed Baggage Center. There have been tons of rumors flying about this place, and we were determined to put them to rest. I didn't take photos inside the store, but you can head over to Jinah's blog for those photos. To be honest, my haul wasn't as good as hers, but I'll post more on that tomorrow.

For now, I have these photos from the road trip part. We passed through so many cute towns and wanted to stop by everything - abandoned buildings, impromptu highway fruit stands, and various general stores. Buuuuut, we managed to restrain ourselves to a dilapidated schoolhouse in Summerville and a fruit stand off Hwy. 140 where we picked up peaches and preserves.

  1. I have always wanted to check this place out, but it's sooo out of the way for me. I drive from Mobile, AL, to ATL several times a year to visit friends, and I think on the last trip I took I determined it was something like an extra 6 hours drive. I still dream of going one day, but in the meantime, I can't wait to see what you scored!! xx

  3. Random and completely unrelated, but I must know because I am about to trek out to NY this weekend. How long did you end up waiting in line for the McQueen exhibit? What time of day did you go? I need to mentally prepare myself. Help.
