(14,912 posts)several miles outside of town. My crew and I used to go into town a few times a week to eat lunch at a Chinese Buffet there.. until they closed it down after finding animal carcasses in the dumpsters! I don't EVEN want to know what we were really eating!
Anyhoo, the best part of Macon that I found was being able to visit the Rose Hill Cemetery and visit the graves of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. It was quite the experience for me, being a fan of their music since the late 60's/early 70's. It was amazing to see the big cement vase at the foot of the graves almost filled with joints, roaches, guitar picks and Harley patches.
I remember the big fight when his sister tried to have a fence put around the grave to keep people away... and she lost. I have a few pictures still. I tried to get one with the words etched into the cover stone on Duane's grave, but it didn't show up where you could make it out.
I know I'm off topic, but that visit... and the HEAT from that job, are really the two memories I have of Macon.
Peace,
Ghost
